Looks like you had some gorgeous flying weather out there! Gotta' love summertime.

[@KitfoxPilot]

It's been a hot one this summer. Having a nice cooler week this week. It's all good if you get to fly!

Hi Harlan! I'm not far from you down the river and I play out there a lot in my Kitfox. We should meet up sometime! I'm located in Millington TN. Love your airplane! You did a great job on it!

[@KitfoxPilot]

Shoot me an email at hsdjp@ yahoo.com and I'll send you a contact number and we'll get together. I'd love to fly with you on some sand bars. Harlan

Go Harlan, so how are you getting on with that prop, if money was not an issue, would you change it?

[@KitfoxPilot]

Hi Jeremy. The prop is great, just set it and go. It has been flawless so far. Its really shines in rough air. If budget was tight I might not buy one because the 915s hp is enough that a reg prop set for cruise still takes off good. Its like air in your car, you don't have to have it but it sure makes it a lot nicer.

@@KitfoxPilot Well, even tho I am at sea level here, I don't think I can resist now the 916 has come out. Hopefully it will bring down the prices of the 915. Have you had any problems at all with the 915?

[@KitfoxPilot]

@@jeremykemp3782 I think the 915 will be phased out when surplus engines are sold off in the next couple years. The 916 is a electronic souped up 915 for the most part with a 8000 price increase to cover the 2000 tbo IMO. I would buy the 916 for sure now. I have had starting problems with the 915 since new and no one has came up with a fix and rotax don't care. We won't get started on that here though.

@@KitfoxPilot I am surprised nothing has been mentioned on teamkitfox or rans forum. Ok, well thank you for the quick response. I will forward my email to you on the forum so we can have a chat about it some time if that's ok
