Karmy Flying Adventures

Nice day for flying!

Time to install the landing gear on the Onex fuselage. Took some careful measuring and drilling to get all 10 holes lined up and matched to the fuselage. Worst case you hold a little right rudder on landing!

This is version three of my Kitfox 7. I shortened the wing tips using the “standard” tips, installed electric elevator trim and put 600×6 tires and wheel pants on. All of this gained another 6mph in speed so now I’m seeing 130mph TAS at 1500 ft.

I’ve started helping a friend of mine build his Onex. If you have not heard of it, it’s a new single place aerobatic plane from the makers of the Sonex line of planes. It’s a very neat design with folding wings. It’s fully aerobatic and runs a Volkswagen engine of about 80HP.
