Kitfox

Crash
It would be a good idea to talk to the PFA and see who's your local PFA Coach.
The Kitfox isn't a bad aircraft. It does have a fairly narrow track undercarriage and long wings, so it's fairly sensitive to crosswinds. It doesn't do anything that any other tailwheel aircraft won't do (given half a chance)
They're not all that wide, and with 2 big lads on board, I discovered I was a bit short on aileron in crosswinds, and I wasn't prepared to have a leg off !
Otherwise they're a good stol / rough field machine.
Have fun
