Kitfox - Unfold Wings from Trailer

[@billwelter4101]

Preflight - double check those wing pins!! Amazing planes, thanks!

[@stolaircraftsuyanto9728]

unbelievably good friend.

[@frankus54]

Great work. A very tidy setup

[@gordonmccoy4537]

Great Vid...! Thanks for posting...! These little airplanes are fascinating to see in action.... In my QB mag, several months ago, there was an article with about 5 friends who flew their Kit Foxes from the lower "48" up to Alaska.... Great story... Have fun with yours!!! Gordon

[@jiefuster]

10 mins or so - excellent thanks for the vid!

[@Olle1975]

+jiefuster Thank you :-)

[@johns7002]

That trailer looks like a great design. I hope sometime we can see a little more of it.

[@onthemoney7237]

Wow nice !

[@omorin34]

Wow! I did not know the plane could be prepped so quickly. Nice Vid!

[@Progneto]

Great idea for a hangar!

[@mohdsaifulmohdsaid852]

how does the wing strut pivot at the fuselage?

[@alexaugsburger21]

What's your upkeep on a kitfox. Thinking about getting one but I don't know anybody that has one. Or how expensive it is a year. No hanger cost.

[@markbuilder7395]

and the music was epic

[@Mike-01234]

The folding wing is a big factor why I want one of these hanger rental in my area is $500 a month and 45 minute drive closer airports have 2-5 year waiting list, but I have a nice area I can park a trailer easily have my airplane right at home where I can do all my own work on it there.

[@ThomasDoubting5]

500 a month that figure is out right extortion... No doubt to ensure only certain pay grade individuals are afforded the pleasure

[@JoeCnNd]

Save up for a year or 2 and buy your own land to take off from.

[@WILCSS]

Eine ausgezeichnete Idee Trailer / Hangar !

[@Olle1975]

+WILCSS Vielen Dank :-)

[@zihrgotti]

That's an interesting trailer. You should do a walk around video of your aircraft trailer.

[@Olle1975]

May be next time :-)

[@wojciechfidecki3280]

Thank you very much for video.It is very impresive.May I have any contact with friend of yours.May be he would be interested to built another one for me or send trailer dokumentation.Best regards

[@SunShine-yd5xu]

3 questions: 1) by pulling the plane out holding the propeller, don’t you bend the propeller in some way ? 2) how much a kitfox costs? 3) where is this place ?

[@Olle1975]

Sun Shine 1.) no, I touch only the blade-root. 2.) between 10-40 k 3.) France

[@SunShine-yd5xu]

Olle1975 Thank you. Enjoy the flights with the KitFox.

[@202vaughn]

I’m considering a similar setup. What trailer dimensions are needed to house a Kitfox?

[@Olle1975]

Mr. Vaughn I could send a drawing from the trailer, need mail or something like this....

[@carlylea]

Doesn't the aileron linkages need to be installed on the model 3? Perhaps you didn't show this step? My understanding is that on the model 2 and 1, you didn't have to disconnect that linkage when folding the wings.

[@Olle1975]

carlylea yes, model 3 too 👍

[@mercury90hp]

There's five minutes of my life I'll never get back.

[@ladjeff]

Excellent !

[@Olle1975]

+Sykes Thank You :-)

[@nobodyrobert]

Thank you very much. Did you make the trailer? If so, do you have any photos or video? Do you have room in front of the rudder when the airplane is stowed in the trailer? Is there a heater in the trailer for preheating in cold weather? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for posting. Robert

[@Olle1975]

Thank you. The trailer was build by a friend of mine and it's as long as the airplane, no room behind or in front of it. No heater inside.

[@larkinflight]

What are the trailer (like that) minimal dimensions?

[@edpaine7982]

Might have dozed off while you were pulling out, but nice plane

[@ColinsMarine]

Don't the flaperons need connecting after the wings get unfolded?

[@Olle1975]

At Kitfox III the connection is always given during fold-/ or unfold-process.

[@jonathanloomis9348]

How big is that trailer

[@Olle1975]

Jonathan Loomis BxHxD. 2,46 x 2,00 x 6,63 Meters.

[@jonathanloomis9348]

Thank you

[@sergesmith2863]

Hour and a half later he gets it outta the shed!! GOOD LORD!!

[@Olle1975]

Only 12 Minutes!!

[@granskare]

perhaps you might get a used TEU and maybe it could become a nice hangar & workshop.

[@EndUser-yu7gg]

I really want to to see videos from people who are hooking up their bird from home and actually trailering it to the airfield ... i see the feature and so few people using it... i figure that is false it just means none of the people i know bother to record such a thing ... but it'd be handy to see .. as to me I'll be sport pilot exclusively i am one who just doesn't want to go dropping coin on a hanger so that leaves the trailer ... unless when the time comes i luck out and can fill in someone else's spare hanger space with a folded wing bird --- i also have not written off the extra tailwheel endorsement considering I want to do backcountry camping trips with it so -- tailwheel has its perks in that department ... I'll cross that bridge when i get there as well ... I have time to research this for the next several years in the meantime and decide

[@pilot.azimali]

Loving it :) I want a KitFox now

[@Olle1975]

+Desi Pilot Yes, I can comprehend it....:-)

[@harveytaylor7189]

Have a model 3 with ivo prop and amphibious floats 582 engine 99% finished never flown .45 grand invested will sell if interested 810 625 0963

[@greenlightelec]

The winch should be disconnected to remove it, also why bother with the boards it was flat enough.

[@05tv80]

SUPER AIRCRAFT

[@karelvanleer429]

Come on already pulled that thing out of the shed

[@Olle1975]

What else?

[@karelvanleer429]

Buy a cordless drill stop cranking that

[@Olle1975]

Winch inside.....
