Still trying to get ahold of the guy in Ga about the RR3 kit for sale.

Saw a finished Kitfox light in MN on face book think it was 12000 or so

[Allen Sutphin 705]

Evidently they don't allow many people from WVa on Facebook!  10K-12K isn't bad.

[TJay 1041]

ill see if i can find more info about it and send you

[TJay 1041]

Ill try to get his phone number for you they you can go from there.

[Allen Sutphin 705]

Thanks!

Ga. is a lot closer for me. If it works out.

The Kitfox lite in Mn belongs to a friend of mine.  He is a straight shooter.  It's a cute little plane.  I have some videos on my phone of it taking off and landing.  JImChuk

PS,  I posted those videos onto his add on fb

Anybody know anything about the Rans S-5?

[TJay 1041]

I flew a s6es and it was a very nice plane to fly but I thought the wing was way to big for that light of an airplane.

[Allen Sutphin 705]

That is what my impression of the challenger was. One of the reasons it was a handful in any wind, especially here in the mountains. But then anything less than 8 or 9 lbs PSF is going to be like riding a bull who is slightly ticked off.

[TJay 1041]

I had a clipped wing challenger

[Allen Sutphin 705]

Just checked the mileage from here to the Kitfox Lite. A tad over 1700 miles round trip. A bit beyond this old fart's range now days. Oh well, I'll bide my time, something will pop up closer. By then I'll have more saved.

Hi Allen,  I just saw this on barnstormers.  It's paperwork is expired from the previous owner though.  Kolb is a fun plane.

KOLB TWINSTAR MKII PROJECT • $5,000 • COME AND GET IT • I purchased this Kolb Twinstar MKII 2-place project but I just haven't had time to do anything with it and don't see that changing any time soon.

That one would be a project! Engine would have to be replaced. Still a long way off.

[1avidflyer 1983]

Just saw a Minimax on facebook in Romney WV for 5000.  503 engine.  Says it ready to fly....

[Allen Sutphin 705]

That would be in my ballpark. Have a # listed?

[1avidflyer 1983]

Didn't see one.  Are you on facebook?

[Allen Sutphin 705]

Only book my face is on is probably hanging in the post office. No.

Your missing out man there is at least 500 groups that are all airplanes for sale haha Im a member of at least 5 of them and that is enough to be dangerous.

 

[Allen Sutphin 705]

I tried but my wife had an old facebook acct and it was canceled and since we have the same E-mail, they won't let me on.

[1avidflyer 1983]

Allen, if you private message me your phone number, I can message the guy and ask him to call you.  As far as facebook goes, I really wish it hadn't taken over or maybe say overtaken the forums.  I think of it more of a gossip thing, and less of the real plane building and information.  On these forums, you can do a search and find stuff that was posted 10 yrs ago, and it very well may be relevant to what you were trying to find out.   On fb its hard to find something that is a week old.  Also, lots of key board commandos.  Maybe some screwed up kid in his mom's basement trying to sound like he knows something.  And often enough maybe someone older than a kid with the same desire to sound important.  It especially peeves me when someone posts an add, and the first question some one will ask is "is the price negotiable?"  not how many hours, what engine, ect, ect.....

Boy ain't that the truth Jim. This forum has so much more useful information. I just wish it wasn't so quiet lately. I don't use team kitfox that much not sure why there is alot of good people on there too just never cared for the forum.

 

[1avidflyer 1983]

Allen, I sent your number on to the guy with the minimax.  TJay, I think Team Kitfox is more geared to later model Kitfoxes than what we see here.  Lot of good guys there as well as you said.  

[Allen Sutphin 705]

Thanks! As was said, it doesn't take very long on this group to know who you can trust and most you can trust without reservation. Actually this group pretty much monitors itself and its the members who curb somebody without the moderators having to do it. Though it rarely if ever has to be done.
