Contrary to what Genghis has said the Kitfox 5 Vixen is NOT currently approved by the LAA in the UK. The link provided by Genghis is for a Kitfox 5 and not a Kitfox 5 Vixen which again is a totally different aircraft.
The Vixen has a Nosewheeel , has much shorter different dihedral wings with an all flying Stabilator and different rudder.
There is one shown on G-INFO, ex French register, which has been going through a very protracted approval process with the LAA for some 18month-2years and hasn't quite got there yet. When approved it will be at MAUW 543kg(1195lbs) which is nowhere near the 1550lbs approval it can have on the Experimental category it goes on in the States.
Forget it and buy/import a kit and build a Kitfox 7SS direct from Kitfox in Homedale, Idaho, USA.
