THE YOUNGEST PILOT / Flying a Kitfox Aircraft Owner in the USA?

[@HookedOnUtah]

Great video! I love that you are highlighting "new" competitor. Great job!

[@builditright4666]

Yeah Go Jared. And Bryan you could not have found a better guy to interview Nice work to the both of you.

[@jaredjestice7937]

Thank you Tjay! 😊

[@johnreed5253]

@@jaredjestice7937 hey Jared!...great interview/video. I just started a Zenith STOL build, but started out wanting an early Kitfox ( when they first appeared in the 80s), was wondering if anyone has installed or researched leading edge slats for the Kitfox? I'm heading over to your channel and subscribing, Good luck with your upcoming competitions!

[@jaredjestice7937]

@@johnreed5253 thank you for subscribing. I really appreciate it! I'm not sure when, but I plan on experimenting with slats and seeing what they can do with a KF wing. I know of a few people that have put them on Kitfox's but i don't how well they worked.

Great interview Bryan. It was great to meet the Jestice family at Swamp Stol and give a ride to Silvia Jestice in SketchyNelly, she’s a fellow 701 owner!! Great family of fliers!!!

[@scotth985]

Thanks for introducing me to them. I was sitting next to Jared's other sister while he was competing. Lots of fun.

[@joannajestice1542]

Nice story!

[@DiamondDoorsInc]

Jared is a great guy! Nice interview.

[@jaredjestice7937]

You did a good job Bryan!! It was fun videoin with ya!

[@dirtcop11]

Wow! The tail comes up before he releases the brakes.

[@jaredjestice7937]

It's taken me a bit of practice to get the timing right of tail up and brake release, but I found that with that technique I can get airborne a good 20' shorter than if I start the takeoff roll before lifting the tail

[@doncatch1]

Enjoyed. Good luck.

[@peternicolaides6256]

Curious if you put helium in those big tires, would that give any advantage in lift? And is anything in the rules of competition that says you can't?

[@bradybergen3837]

Problem it's a way smaller molecule so it would eventually right through the rubber

[@danielc9312]

Would probably have to use a mylar liner so the helium doesn't seep out. It's pretty light material but the truth is I don't think it would make more than a negligible difference in buoyancy. "Air" isn't really heavy and a plane weighs much more than a party balloon. I feel the effect would be negligible.

[@free-birdrocker8809]

Cool!

[@LeviNoguess]

Looking good Jared!

[@jaredjestice7937]

Thanks Levi. Wish you was there...

[@jaredjestice7937]

Yes it's N293SC not N2935S

[@JAYJAYJAY53]

Your channel is looking more professional , good job

[@bradybergen3837]

I'm 22 and have a kitfox model 1 😜 it ain't near that nice tho!

[@stolcreekaviation5507]

Yeah Brady you may have the youngest Kitfox owner title. I sold Jared that one too!

[@jaredjestice7937]

Brady what age did buy your model 1? Imo if you got a KF your doin good

[@bradybergen3837]

Nice!!

[@bradybergen3837]

Just barely 22 🙂 Yeah I can't wait to fly it! I'm getting real close 😁

[@jaredjestice7937]

@@bradybergen3837 awesome!! Best of luck to you! I managed to purchase my Fox when i was 18

[@choppergirl]

My 1981 Volmer Jensen VJ-24w motorglider stalls at 15mph, and that's without any STOL modifications whatsoever. Imagine a feather floating. Bought for $38 on ebay! I got a Poorboy Ultralight for free with folding wings, they're not all their cracked up to be. You still have to prop up those heavy things and go through the chore of attaching the struts and jury struts and ailerons. I dumped flying them in favor of fully aerobatic quad copters I can hold in my hand and carry on my motorcycle and launch and fly from anywhere... I guarantee I can VTOL it in a shorter space than that Kitfox... on the first flight even.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3_NoY2JgK-reNk

[@5xls]

Good thing he bought it before the "Trent Effect" was fully developed.

[@rodriguezjp85]

I picked up a model IV speedster with rotax 912ul for 18k. I know where another one is sitting for 20 that has 300 hours with rotax and needs a little love.

[@RustyCoon]

Rad!

[@jaredjestice7937]

A little bit lol

[@czthor1]

Too many repeats of the same landing footage .... get on with it...

[@experimentalaircraftandmor531]
