ok this is an extremely cool video

65 HP 582? Or mod?

My 65 HP Kitfox 2 with 1260's takes 1200 feet of water to hop.....

Maybe I need to check my power output?

@schmupsiMN

1200 is way too much, check how they are rigged.  She does better on the 1450's, but 1260 were OK.

[schmupsiMN]

Thanks for the advice!

Any rigging tips that you had success with would be appreciated!

I'll send a video when I can (maybe you will see something I'm missing)

Still think it is a power problem though... yours just picks up speed so much better.... makes me think I'm only pumping about 50 HP!

@schmupsiMN

I'm working on a 140 HP fuel injected 800 engine to put in it.. should be lots of fun when that is done! Send pics and vids, will see if I can spot anything wrong. Where is your step in relation to the CG, and what degree of positive incidence do you have on the wing?

[joziguy]

Amazing! Wow!

[correllwl]

any way I can get in touch with you? I'm in Fairbanks and trying to decide between an Avid and a Kitfox. Would like some of your thoughts. Also trying to decide which floats.

Thanks

@correllwl You should watch for the red flag flights out of Eielson. I think I remember going right when the northern lights ended, must have been about this time.

[akavidflyer]

I can reload it with nothing but the commentary. I will load the original tomorrow with nothing but my buddys voice that sounds like he is making a commercial LOL

[fsxpilot23]

so can you land on flat ground ???

[akavidflyer]

yep, no problems with wet grass.

wmg are selfish dirty asswipes with enough fucking money...pigs

[ulrikmcgloi]

Sucks that audio is removed. It was really entertaining... Good video anyway, contributed to me buying FL's

[1northland1]

This is a blast to watch! I'm looking forward to starting build on a kitfox series 7 this fall. Where is it your are flying? I'm guessing Ontario.

[akavidflyer]

Alaska

[xXxJiBBinsxXx]

Very Cool, I am jealous. It looks like a blast.

[b101aa2]

dang. with those floats, looks like you dont even need water. just a weedy area for em to get some sliding on. lol

[skyypilot]

wow! Great! Thanks for posting this!

[Begs09]

How many feet are you averaging for take-offs/landings on those bad boys?

[akavidflyer]

the "pond" I landed on is 253' long

[KitfoxCIDAI]

Very Cool Are those 1220 or 1260 floats and have you ever had them on amphibs?

[akavidflyer]

1260's, never on amphibs. If I were to buy another set I think I would go for 1220's. Easier to rotate with shorter tails.

lindo lindo ass. dudão

[mattpetzz]

is that a rotax a 912 or a 582, and how is the reliability?

[akavidflyer]

582.. so far no issues! 370 hrs on one engine and 224 on another.
