Trent, I am 87, have never been a pilot (and obviously won’t become one now😏) but I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos, and adventures. Thank you.

[@annnonymous9791]

George McCaig ...please join SocialFlight on You Tube! We'll get you in the air if you're in the U. S. !!! We'll all help you fly if you wanna go up! Heck, I'll go up in anything (except the Ford Tri-motor) sorry guys... You may not be PIC, but you'll be flying! My 92 yr. neighbor goes open door Huey chopper flying with us! 💖

[@georgemccaig5207]

ann nonymous Thanks for the offer, but I am a Canadian, where it is starting to get cold🌬🌬👴🏻

[@annnonymous9791]

George McCaig... I believe SocialFlight is worldwide...plus U can watch a plane being built in his dining room & living room. hahaha! (our kind of people) I'm just south of you a bit...freezing alot! We'll dream of flying a lot this coming summer...but check for events near your area! Best Wishes! 💗

[@additive8924]

Sorry if I'm hitting a sore subject here. I wanted to be a pilot when I was a kid. Life happens things got in the way, I even let people talk me out of it. After meeting a real flight instructor in a VR flight simulator who encourage me to pursue my dream I've gone all-in. You may have some limitations because of your age. But it's not too late to get in the air. Find a flying Club close to you and ask for a discovery flight. As long as you have a safety pilot most of the them will let you take the controls for a while. Live the dream. I'm trying my best to do the same.

[@georgemccaig5207]

@@additive8924 I am now 91, and would never pass a flight physical. I just enjoy the flying vicariously through the videos.

[@WeGoWalk]

Trent, I’m an “armchair” pilot wannabe. After flying Flight Simulator on my PC for years, my wife rented me one hour in the pilot seat of a WWII Texas T6 Trainer up here in Minnesota 20 years ago. A dream come true for me! It was euphoric! After that, simulator flying lost its appeal for me - I guess because no simulator software could ever compare to that flight. I flew a real WWII plane! I even had to strap on a real parachute! Not a day goes by without me thinking of that day. Recently found your channel on KZbin and now I fly vicariously through you. I really enjoy your delivery on these videos. Excellent stuff! Thank you for giving me back some flying fun. Keep flying! I’ll keep watching!

[@destro513]

You have worked really hard making all these videos. As being a unoffical spokesman for kitfox, you are the single reason I will be buying my fox

[@adanielweaver]

That's why they give him the cool stuff! So he can show us and we want to buy it haha

[@CowboyDRT]

It works

[@adanielweaver]

@@CowboyDRT it really does. I've hated flying my entire life and my grandpa killed himself flying a bush plane (in a snow storm), but watching these videos still makes me want to give it a try

[@turtlehead7157]

2 Months from now: "Alright guys it is finally time to start operation DRACO killer! We're putting a brand new PT6 Turboprop on the Freedom Fox!"

[@acirinelli]

After that 2nd place finish in stol drags, he might be inspired lol

[@buffysaviation]

I would die if he actually did that😂

[@MaxRunia]

LMAO

[@renof2505]

So would the airframe.

[@GaryMCurran]

LOL!

[@ludoviccourcelas6103]

You got me into flying dude, your videos have been so awesome I went straight to the nearest aeroclub and started learning how to fly for a month now. Thank you for that! Cheers from France!

[@johnbolin7098]

Wow, the Freedom Fox will be virtually a new airplane ! Crazy cool upgrades front to back. Your friends and support group are off the chart and ya know what, couldn’t happen to a better guy. Thanks Trent for sharing your story. It’s been a blast !

[@AndrewP657]

4:55 This is approaching a Mike Patey level of work ethic :-)

[@chrisfowler6278]

Nice update Trent. You can tell how excited you are about it. It is really nice to see Kitfox coming in and helping out and working with on this one. I feel like that is what GA is all about. Friends helping friends, and making new ones in the process! So if you are reading this Kitfox, legends! Good luck on getting it all buttoned up guys!

[@sixtomidnight1492]

Super stoked for you man, it's turning out great! Enjoyed the update!

[@gerritdykgraaf2570]

OMG Trent,,,,,,, !!!!! Way to go buddy. I / we , all your followers were oh so curious as to your progress!! Thanks man for the short but sweet update!! I bet you and your crew have been drinking coffee by the fricken gallons!!! Lots of long hours involved as well as trying to fit some kind of family time in there as well!! It is a God send to have a understanding bride for sure!! Good luck my friend with all involved!! As always Trent; Fly Low,,, Fly Safe,,, G-Man

[@neilpowell6191]

You won't know yourself when it's all wrapped up and done. Love the carbon fiber upgrades.

[@colincanada]

I loved the little assembly montage at 2 minutes.

[@donaldholman9070]

Trent, it is great that you are sharing all this... thank you so much.

[@mobessiere2864]

Awesome job to everyone on the project. You can tell Nick that I just dubbed him his new call sign. With those classes that he wears he is now known as the MAD DOCTOR.

[@watchfordpilot]

Good to see you back on line after some time away. Your baby is looking awesome, I am smiling, enviously ;)

[@charlesseymour1482]

Trent, great job on the script and editing as this was a great update on light n balance. Loved the heavy battery kicked into the back. Bring um on. Great stage presence on camera. Thanks. Mark

[@Schevron]

Nice Job. Seeing it grow, next to the planing, ordering stuff is such an awesome feeling. I totally geht you, spending so much time till the middle of the night. Time just flies when you're doing fun stuff, especially when you are on a deadline. I'm really looking forward for your next Video and congrats for your second place at High Sierra!

[@lianleroux9148]

This is a very special episode!! Love this 'show'!! Please keep flying, filming and letting us be your wingman!! Love from SA 🇿🇦

[@DCGULL01]

WOW! I thought the 915 iS was a complete financial stretch, so, my jaw dropped again when you opened with the CF cowling rough fit to the front! I couldn't help but notice the new CF dashboard, and, completely new holes for a NEW glass instrument panel! I gonna pass out from excitement here, Trent! I'm gonna have to retain a nurse just to watch your videos if you keep this up- I'm a friggin' heart attack risk at this point. It had been so long between videos, I thought you stopped flying altogether, and, took up basket weaving, needlepoint, or crossword puzzles though. (You did warn that it would be a bit before an update- I'm so old, occasionally I forget my name- glad I'm subscribed- YT remembers for me!) Your wife is a SAINT, and, I've contacted the Church to start the canonization process ASAP. With the house underway, I'm really glad that she's on board- it's HUGE that you have & keep her support. Heck, she deserves: a praise filled video, a trip, a big gift (No, Trent- you are NOT the gift!)- along with WHATEVER she wants for new house- without argument. It's like a new plane: new lighting, new instruments, new 'right sized' wheels, new CF pieces/parts- if you wanted a Carbon Cub, it might of been cheaper. (That's a joke, Corey & Kevin). Great friends, lots of helpful/ talented hands, and, the Kitfox crew stepping up- way above and beyond the call- genuinely exciting stuff. Can't wait 'til you get this bird in the air again, and, like everyone else- hoping you make the Sierra fly in- fingers crossed! Flying vicariously through you, wicked jealous of your good fortune, and, super stoked about it all! Please try to get some vids posted up tho- the wait is killing me!

[@TECAdventures]

David C. Gulliver , I too thought something bad had happened !!

[@randywheeler8976]

Man your videos always are the highest quality and professionally edited. Thanks for the update, the Freedom Fox looks amazing, can't wait to see her done.

[@lauragreason7758]

Thanks for taking the time to give us an update. Really glad to see things are moving forward with the “Cub Killer” project.

[@davidduganne5939]

Good report Trent. Thanks for the update. I realize there is a lot of work involved behind the scenes to post a video and it is appreciated!

[@jordanworm6923]

That is awesome man I’m very excited to see this project finished through

[@kevinsavas7173]

Soooo cool that everyone is helping out. Great job Trent

[@brianbaldocchi6013]

That carbon cowlings are gorgeous! Work of art!!!

[@madcalicojack]

Awesome to watch this, as this is what I've been working on on my plane recently. You've got probably the nicest Kitfox that exists right now.

[@L2FlyMN]

What an awesome group of nuts to work with! What a blast!

[@evan24pen]

Been missing your vlogs.... Glad to wake up with another on my feed!

[@CrispyOkra]

This is going to be epic! Can't wait to see it fly. Congrats Trent! 💕

[@MrThuggery]

Awesome Trent and Crew!

[@hidesertskylane8161]

Can't wait to see your vlog from the HSF. That was an epic way for it all to go down. The Freedom Fox was so cool to see in person and it was great to meet you and everyone else who made it this year :)

[@joel231]

[@flyingclint589]

SICK!!! I can't wait to see you back in the air with this setup!!!

[@jimx1169]

I'm not surprised the Kitfox factory is helping you out. I can't imagine a better brand ambassador than you. Nicely done!

[@fredleegamer7383]

Great video I’m super excited to see more!! Keep it up Trent!!

[@AndyRobichaud]

Thanks for the update Trent. Can't wait to see the Freedom Fox back in the air with all the new upgrades!

Full upgrade, sweet. Great work!

[@kylekendall1587]

Great time with friends and planes....what else can you ask for? Keep up the work Trent, almost there!

[@mojogrip]

No need to apologize man, knowing how long it takes to film and edit, especially with the quality you produce. Needless to say; the wait was worth it. Thanks for the update.

[@nigelpatrick115]

Awesome Trent, love the videos!! Keep up the good work. Man that looks like quite a project, just the sort of thing id love to be helping at if i lived closer.

[@MrJoshuaDick]

Trent seeing these upgrades to the Freedom Fox are making me want to upgrade my nonexistent kitfox into a real kitfox! Thanks for taking a break to update us. Keep at it! You got this!

[@beckbuchanan32]

Thank you, been Jonesing for your next video, now I feel so much better.

[@thecountbassy_]

Keep it up, Trent, with every update it gets closer and closer to the dream plane!

[@MyHealthByDesign]

Trent, your videos (and some from the other Flying Cowboys) have gotten me back in the air - after 25 years of not flying. Finishing my PPL within 1-2 months. Then I’ll be ordering a Kitfox 7 SS kit. Thanks for the inspiration! The Freedom Fox looks amazing with those improvements.

[@stevek7649]

Jack Holley Good for you Jack. The Kitfox is such a life changing aircraft. We look forward to you joining the Kitfox family.

[@WalkerPJ280505]

Awesome update man, good to see things are going well. Fingers crossed for an on time finish.

[@Kee_Diddy]

Hell yeah Trent. Thing is coming along nicely!

[@4skinner666]

I was saving up for a Riddle Marine jet boat. Now the piggy fund is going towards a Kitfox IV. I’m glad they treat you so well Trent. Your videos are pure Kitfox plane porn. I have flown in cubs quite a bit but the side by side seating and made in Idaho have me convinced Kitfox is for me. Thank you, keep up the good work.

[@CoryJohnsonpilot]

Good Luck with the build. It will be crazy cool when you finish it.

[@paulvetter2772]

Please never change your intro. I love it!

Awesome Trent!!!

[@dag1869]

Wow and what a team!

[@dustunrosdail3583]

You are raising the bar high for all future KitFox builds. Thanks for the quick update. It is like leaving a trail of bread crumbs. Each one is leading up to a entire years worth of take offs and landings from all your favorite spots and then some. Great news for all that subscribe, I can't wait. This is sure to be topped off with great performance reviews. Congrats on your second place finish to Draco at the High Sierra Fly-In, this is actually a first place in anyones book except Mike's...Looked like good times. Enjoy

[@philchallinor6429]

Wow!!! Knowing the outcome it is really impressive to see the work and effort you put in. Can't wait for the next episode and really interested in your thoughts on flight characteristic changes you feel with the motor change. Not so much the HP, which is a given, but with the weight and balance and overall handling difference. Give us some numbers too!

[@jarrodhitchcock9630]

Trent needs to quit living my dream life. I will definitely need a Fox in the future

[@myckee]

Looks great so far, thanks for sharing.
