Guys,

I have enjoyed and learned from the Matronics Kitfox list serve over the
years, recognizing lots of names and appreciating your insights.

If I get an e-mail from the Matronics Kitfox list serve I read it. Love
too by the way. Even if the subject does not seem of interest to me at the
moment. The experience and knowledge in the Kitfox builder/owner community
is really important to keep on the front burner and thriving for everyone
who owns or who probably should have the brand clearly on their radar
screen.

E-mails from Team Kitfox don't just appear in my IN BOX, (maybe I just
don't know how to set that up) so I have to go out of my way to log on and
then hunt for what I want in Team Kitfox. Unfortunately that translates to
out of sight, out of mind for me which is a darn shame. I get a sense that
this observation resonates with quite a few others.

Taking the next logical step, Debra, John and the the Kitfox brand are
missing out because of this. A robust owner/builder forum that grabs your
attention thru e-mails sent directly to us, that we can't miss, builds
enthusiasm, promotes interest in the brand, and is not just good for the
brand but probably essential. I suspect that many who might have some
interest in a Kitfox would be regular readers if e-mail posts were
automatic and that would be good for marketing.

I stopped by the Just factory primarily to look it over, compare their
Highlander to the Kitfox model 7 and was surprised that Troy mentioned
they have been sending 8 to 10 planes out the door per month, all Super
STOLs and probably at least in part due to all of the attention in the
aviation press on their Super STOL model. Positive attention sells planes
and grabs market share.

Kitfox is such a great and fun plane I would love to see it really
blossom. I say this having owned over a dozen piston planes, flown lord
knows how many more and really love my Kitfox.

BJ,
Years ago I too went through the just aircraft factory and looked at the Highlander. I have a mountain cabin just North of there. I really enjoyed touring the factory and the "airstrip" (boat ramp) in front of the factory ! I would have bought one except for the money. I sure like them. But I bought a Kitfox instead (same model and engine as you have)
I have had to work on my engine a lot. Mostly ignition problems. The latest now I think is a "trigger coil" problem. I am going to run it over to Mississippi and have Ronnie Smith pull the engine ,install new rubber mounts,and check out the bad mag check I am getting. I have done as much trouble shooting as I can and am tired of messing with it. Seems to be an ongoing problem with my engine.(broken wires from the charge coils,bad plugs, ignition harness,caps,etc)
I have modified my 4 a lot with the bush gear,electric trim,Kiev prop and many other things . I now have a very nice flying airplane. The mods really made a difference !
Take care,
    Dick Maddux
