Idaho Backcountry 2015 trip



Hopefully that worked. Took the Kitfox to the proving grounds last summer and had a blast.

This was June. Although it was real warm that week, felt more like August.

It looks like there was a helicopter following you around. Does your Kitfox have the speedster wings?

It is the Safari model with removable wing extensions, the extensions are on in the video. Our crew was made up of the Kitfox, a C180, a Katmai, and an R44. An interesting mix for sure.

Okay, I think it has the short wings in some of your album photos and it looked like a long wing landing in the video. Nice! Good video.
