| Quote: | Hi.
Looking for a four stroke engine, nose gear Kitfox in my country, I found a
very fine one, equiped with a 100 hp 912 ULS, but the model is Vixen.
The owner says that the Vixen is a model made by Kitfox. I entered the
Kitfox site but found nothing about.
Can anyone help me? Is Vixen another factory that makes a kit that looks
like a Kitfox or is this an original?
Thanks for any information.

Thanks you all for answering my question about the Vixen. There are not too
many around here.
I've read the link and I'm sure this will be a good choice.
The plane is mint and I intend to get it on saturday and fly it back home.
If there's something wrong on the bird's design, please post here before
it's too late 
Again, thanks.

The Skystar Vixen and the Kitfox Series 5 are basically the same plane...taildragger or nosewheel configuration.

If the gross weight is 1550 it is not Sport Pilot compliant.

Francisco,
I dont think there is anything wrong with the design. I read some of my old
Kitfox Times issues and found that the Vixen was announced in the Summer /
Fall issue of 1992. It does precede the Series V tail dragger which was
announced in the first issue of 1995 along with the Classic IV which was a
marriage of the Kitfox XL and the Model IV. The Seriex IV TD was based on
the Vixen fuselage with tailwheel. It is interesting that the first Vixen
was provided with a composite maingear with fiberglass legs and carbon fiber
wrapping. Obviously this gear design wasn't successful as it has
disappeared from the scene.
I would think that if the construction is as you say, then you will have a
very nice flying airplane. The engine is a perfect match as well.
