Going to have to stop the install for a while. Had a tragic accident this weekend. Stepson, his wife and 6 yr old daughter were killed in a traffic accident last Thursday in SC.  Wife is taking it pretty hard so the Fox takes a back seat for awhile. Maybe in a few months I can get back to it.

Giving some serious consideration to selling the Fox, engine, prop, trailer and the whole conglomeration till I can move and find my own airstrip. I may be losing the current strip anyway.

A thought crossed my mind.  In a year or two, do you think you would look back and regret selling you project?  Good luck in what you decide.

That thought has been there with any aircraft I've sold. Most likely couldn't sell the Fox anyhow. Most don't understand how much you can get invested (money) in a reconditioning project and want an Avid/Fox for 10K in great condition, which we all know doesn't really exist anymore. All the little parts, shipping, and misc stuff add up pretty quick. The time and energy spent really doesn't have value to anyone but us. And I probably won't advertise it due to all the worthless calls you get from some people. Hard to sell one without advertising it. And I'd hate to sell and probably wouldn't sell to someone who has no knowledge of Kitfoxes cause to them, its just another airplane.

Allen, so very sorry. How us mere mortals can survive such personal tragedy is hard to understand. Just know you and yours are in our Prayers now. Of course we will offer our help and support in any way we can. Please let us know if there is something we can do.

Thanks, services are over and the grueling task of clearing the estate begins.  The Fox is on hold for the present. Unless a group member would be interested in finishing the engine installation after buying it. I'll throw in the whole kit-n-kabootle.
