I'll be picking this up after Clinton. Estate situation where the widow needs room for her horse trailer. Kitfox II with new Rotax 582 blue head, never run. Three blade composite prop with all fabric and finishing supplies included. Found this jewel for $8,500.

great find Robert,

Almost bought the orginal kitfox years ago, did not like the aircooled rotax. The 582 rotax is a great engine.

I like the panel so much I sent myself an email of the photo as inspiration when it comes to panel time on my Wag-a-Bond.

Reg I will send you a better photo of the panel when I see it again. Its 90 miles from home at the moment. I just took a quik snapshot of it for show and tell. I bought it so I could store it in the garage or farm shop. Next to impossible to build or rent a hanger. Not going to let an aircraft set outside. Robert

Good deal Robert. Nice plane, nice price, nice to pick the colors and get that new airplane smell.

Thanks, Robert. It is a nice classic-looking panel. I especially like the sub-panel with the fuses, switches, etc. Easier to letter and it really looks classy.

I think I would do something other than glossy black. Maybe a dark, flat, gray.

I am REALLY jealous of that find. Man, I would sell my ST1300 to own that.
