Yep, Avid Flyer was first, designed by Dean Wilson and Dan Denny. (I know bc I spent much of my childhood in the hangar where it was built. My best friend was Mike Wilson (Dean’s son) Dean and Danny split in the 80’s and Dan created Kitfox.
Dan Denny currently lives about 1/2 mile from me. I pulled up to the jobsite (setting trusses with my crane), and the contractor said "the customer says he knows you." Yeah, Dan and I flew to Oshkosh in '88, my model 1 was serial number 120. Fun plane, at 465 pounds the 532 Rotax kicked butt. BUT, my 4 stroke Rotax 912S in my RANS S-7S uses a bit less fuel, has more guts, and I don't have to premix the fuel. Avid was FOR SURE first!
Yup Kitfox is sort of a spinoff from Avid. It's kind of like Polaris Ind. was started in Roseau MN. by three guys, two of which were brothers. And one brother eventually split off and started Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls MN. True story from my backyard. lol
Dean had no interest in refining the Avid. When Avid went to the water cooled 582 the radiator was hanging off the side of the cowl. When I saw a nicely integrated installation I asked an older gentleman at Sun n Fun (I assumed was Dean) if that was the new arrangement. He said no, a customer had done it. I asked if he would start shipping kits that way he said no. Dan must have been very frustrated.
@@puttputt73 Yeah Dan was more of a detail "make it look flashy" salesman type of guy, Dean had probably already moved on to his next project. When Dan came out with the little faux radial engine bump cowl, it was a stroke of marketing genius, useless or not, it looked cool as hell.
Call AVID :)😊. I had a KITFOX IV for about 7 years and 500 hours. Sold it to an Icelandic Air Pilot. There was an AVID on the ramp here at Cape Fear Regional for years - it went away last month. I built and fly a RANS S-19 now but I miss my KITFOX.
I enjoyed your video Jonas. I've had 4 Avids through the years, and a couple of Kitfoxes. As far as descents with lots of throttle, what happens is you reduce the load on the engine. That causes EGTs to go up, maybe to an unacceptable level. Then you have a glider. Really the same applies to any two stroke plane. My Avid MK IV actually flys nicer than my Kitfox 4, lighter on the controls, but as you found out, you need to use the rudder much more. Just a matter of getting used to it. Lead your turn with the rudder, and believe the ball. Nice plane Tony!
My first plane was an Avid Speedwing. Not speedy. Every flight was day #1 at taildragger school. I flew it from the UK to France, to the Isle of Man (for the TT races) and all over Ireland (some fair water crossings behind a Jabiru 2200). Loved every minute of ownership. Wouldn't do it again.
Da)( ! That is an absolutely amazing plane ! I wonder if a little lithium Iron Ph battery LIPO would work, they are so light. They are the same voltages as a lead acid pretty much. That low pass would have been a thrill for him because he may not have had anyone to fly it so he could video the plane !
There's no need for a battery unless you want an electric start. The problem with those batteries you mentioned in car or airplane applications is setting up a proper charging circuit off the alternator. The cut in and cut out voltages are different than lead batteries.
That’s a first for me Jonas … pull cord on that type airplane . Hmmm , pull cord … “Lawn mower is taken , maybe weed eater or chainsaw . Thanks for sharing !!
Dean Wilson designed both the Avid Flyer and the Kitfox. Dan Denny wanted his own company, played some shenanigans and upset Dean and the battle started. Dean lives a couple miles from me and we talk every now and then. If you want to know the truth, you need to ask Dean.
Champ. That was an exceptional viewing experience. Well done! Great aircraft. Sweet trailer, too! Tony was quite knowledgeable and articulate. Very well done all around! Excellent content! Thanks for the effort!
Tony, it's great to see your plane finished! I remember seeing it when Wyatt and I visited you, and you still didn't know what you were going to do about the struts. Thanks for introducing us to Tuki! We love that game still.
The european ones are propbably more due to different legislations and shipping stuff over the pond can be a Pita. There is also KFA (Kitplanes for Africa). You can register it as an ultralight in most EU countries. Wheras the Kitfox somehow never got there over here. The Avid Flyer is pretty common tho.
I have an avid that i imported from usa to canada . Transport canada was some lady on her couch with kids yelling in the background once i finally vot ahold of someone . The faa was awsome to deal with no effin around total time dealing with faa 5 min total time with transport canada weeks on hold
Really interesting little plane. Loved the simplicity. That 2 stroke does scare a lot of people away but if they are properly maintained they will run!
Man, that looked like fun! What a great aircraft that is. I didn't know they were the parent, so to speak, of Kitfox. Great history there! Rotax 582 - same engine my buddy has in his powered parachute. I got familiar with the powerplant during an engine swap I did on one of his units last summer. Pretty rugged engine with all the redundant ignition components of a certified aircraft (Only with a few less cylinders, lol). Jetting on these is HUGE. Sounds like that one is probably a little rich on the needle, which my buddy's unit is, too, to a lesser extent. It gets a little sketchy trying to dial that needle in - drop the needle (Raise the clip) too far, and you'll get things hot FAST ... and we all know how that story ends. I got his dialed in pretty good, but it took A LOT of time and testing. Great shots with the cockpit and drone cams! 👍I haven't flown my paramotor in almost a YEAR. Haven't even started my '74 Yamaha RD350 this season yet. Back to working for someone else takes a major chunk of time away, that's for sure. Of course I'm also doing a little side work, plus trying to get my new Cummins-powered '93 W250 up to speed. Endless projects! I can feel winter coming already ... 😂
Unloading the engine with a partial throttle descent leans the fuel-air-ratio and spikes the EGT and causes damage. They work best in an aircraft either full on or full off. I always figured someone should add a simple supplemental fuel injection system that measures crankcase pressure and is controlled by a simple arduino or similar. Don't think you could catch the rising EGT fast enough but that would be easy to add to the control software as another variable. Would make a good video for a popular creator. $0.02
There are other good kitplanes out there besides the Kitfox. Not dissing Kitfox just saying. Jonas's Cappella is a good one too. It's just that it has a wing profile that the stall breaks sharper on verses some other low speed wings I believe.
@@jemo_hack Defiance needs a Patey touch and I doubt if Jonas has the TIME or the engineering savvy to build in in the near future. Maybe in 5 or 6 years, but now, just get into the air. Thanks for your comment
@@oneninerniner3427 I've had 4 different Cappellas while I was in Engineering School. I was buying and selling, building and selling, and modifying aircraft to help pay tuition. I loved my Capellas, but I had to play with them because the plane is made only for cruising. I did modify two of them for off-runway use. It required a different suspension (much more than large tires), fuselage strengthening, and highly modified wings. In the end, it wasn't a Capella anymore. It actually felt more of a Just STOL (see Steve Henery). (I also modified on to cruise at 135 mph at 20,000 ft. That is far cooler than low and slow) Thanks for your comment
I wonder if Tony's place is on the same side of the river as you. I grew up not far from there, my grandfather's farm was in Wapello so we visited there a lot. Oh, and nice airplane! Looks like maybe Tony should borrow a tractor and scraper and smooth that runway a bit...
It feels really strange flying with the left hand, doesn't it. When I switched planes, I had to switch hands and it took a long time to stop feeling wrong.
I flew my 582 from Minnesota to Kansas. Ran it about 6200 rpm. It was happy as could be, but was thirsier than i expected. Closer to 5-6 ghp. Good times.
I have to say that I’ve been flying Rotax 447’s 503’s and 582’s for over 30 years & never once had an engine failure. If you take care of your power plant you shouldn’t have any problems.
Really wild to see this plane again. I worked at avid aircraft in my early 20s. I used to package up all the aviation gear before it got shipped out. Brings back memories.
Avid Flyer...this was my dream when I was a young ambitious pilot. It was in the early 90s. At that time, Avid and Kitfox were one of the first ultralights in our new country. I'm glad that these planes are still flying today :)
Love video of you flying again. The ones of you going down the river or cross country were so fun to watch. I really miss those video's. And the one's you and the wife took in the kitfox used to make my day. Really wish you would get another kitfox. I loved that plane. Please try and get another plane and start flying again when you can. I know, easy for me to say.
So kind of Tony to show us his airplane and to let you take it out for a flight. When are we going to see Jonas with a kit plane again? Looking forward to adventures with the family.
He's got it backwards; the Kitfox folds like an Avid Flyer! And while we haven't heard any recent news out of the Avid Aircraft which is located in Iowa; I wouldn't write them off as out of business. The under camber wing is actually a high lift design that was common on early biplanes. It's fell out of fashion maybe because it's also a high drag wing design or maybe because it's slightly more difficult to cover them with fabric. I'm not sure what Avid or Kitfox or Kolb or Challenger are recommending for engines these days? A huge portion of Sport Pilot sized kit producers all relied on the no longer produced 2 cylinder Rotax engines.
Truth be known, I've always had a heart for a Corvair conversion but don't see much of them on U tube. Or hear of any in use. They're supposed to be considerably less expensive to adapt to aviation. We had a 110 hp 4 speed in a car that went about 150,000 mi before needing any valve train work.
I'm 6'2" and at times had to reach under my knees to manage the stick. I like right seat operations but wheel brakes on the left. I flew first evolution Avid with STOL wing.
GROSS WEIGHT 1150 but I don't know how you would get that much in it.... I DO I DO !!!! FLOATS???? a lil RIB boat underneath??? tru you only goin 50 knotts but IMIGINE THE LITTLE WET PLACES YOU CAN GET INTO !!! ....that's what *I* SEE'edded!!
Needs more pitch on the prop. That will put more load on the engine and smooth out the four stroking...maybe. Mix the fuel on the oil rich side to help with the under lubrication while windmilling. Or use Optima.

Yes! Kitfox is the worst name
My first plane was an avid acrobat heavy haul. Unstoppable
Hello, I have an Avid Model C serial 573. Subaru NSI EA81. 100 hp TT: 1776.0 Avid was first and then Kitfox came second. Nice plane!!
Seems like a really nice guy Tommy! Nice of him to let you fly like that. Now back to baby business!😂😂👨🏻🍼
Maybe Tommy is a nice guy ,who every he is 🤔😵💫
Great lesson on Avid! Beautiful build! Love the rope start! Fun video Jonas!

Tony, it's great to see your plane finished! I remember seeing it when Wyatt and I visited you, and you still didn't know what you were going to do about the struts. Thanks for introducing us to Tuki! We love that game still.
Other ones? Eurofox/Aerotrek from Aeropro, same ancestry. Thanks Tony for getting that man airborne!!
Highlander and Ridge Runner are two more and then there's also a few single seat versions that are clones too.
The european ones are propbably more due to different legislations and shipping stuff over the pond can be a Pita.
There is also KFA (Kitplanes for Africa). You can register it as an ultralight in most EU countries. Wheras the Kitfox somehow never got there over here. The Avid Flyer is pretty common tho.
Jonas come fly mine please theres a stick on the right
Name: The Hamster. Look at the CC text at 18:09, and you'll know why🤣
Kitfox was "Derived" from Avid.
Avid Flyer !
Such a good name !
Avid Flier, I think?
Great Video Jonas, I have an Avid with a Subaru engine, and love it. Mr. Tony is awesome and we have talked a few times! 👍
