Hey guys,
My mission is to build tailwheel time on local grass and dirt strips and basically just fiddle-fart around. No real heavy hauling. Very occasional 110-150 mile short cross country trips would be my max
Eleveation for most local strips is 3,000 to 5000
I'm spending $20K
uTube has some pretty cool Kitfox footage - I know there are pro's and cons and I understand about the yaw issues- Still, looks like more fun than the 150 I rent.
I like the open doors flying capability and the fact that its experimental catagory, good visibility etc.
But the Taylorcraft is a real airplane and an 85 horse would would probobly be a better choice and it can cruise considerably faster.
I'm gonna try to locate a T-craft and a Kitfox to fly locally so I can feel the difference but I'd like your ideas and experiences.
Other airplanes?
