Kitfox IV with Rotax and Yamaha engines

[Good old number 29 158]

This is on the Facebook Yamaha Aircraft Conversions page. I wish I could buy this one, myself.

Registration is going to expire this month.  Maybe he isn't aware of that, being it was his brother's plane.  Maybe contact him and let him know.  I'm not on FB.  JImChuk

It will probably be necessary for the buyer to get an Affidavit of Heir-at-Law from the seller in order to register it.

I had to go the Heir at Law form on my Kitfox 3 project.  Not a big deal once I understood what I needed to do.  And as far as the registration being expired, that is not really a big deal.  Mine had reached the point of being purged, but the FAA brought it back and I ended up with a valid registration.  JImChuk

Looks like a very nice airplane undoubtedly 2-stroke powered. Looks like he lives in Florida. If I was closer I'd have to consider it.

Its serial number 1420 which is before mine at serial number 1488, so it is going to be a 1050 gross weight model IV Kitfox

I wish I could have bought the whole package. I see the Yamaha motor is already sold, pending funds.
