- My old flight instructor came up to Northern California to fly the Kitfox into the Backcountry. This was Matt's first time seeing the Redwoods. He is building a Kitfox Model 7. We flew south to explore the Humboldt Redwood State Park. These Redwoods range from 500 to 2200 years old and heights over 350 feet.
God bless you all. Please pray for our country and the world. Feels like we need it more than ever!
"The heavens and skies declare God's
Glory, and their silent words go out into
the world."
Psalm 19:1-4
We landed on property off of the state park and then hiked in.

Those trees are unbelievable. 🤯
Taylor’s right, the drone shots are 🔥🔥🔥So is little E ❤️ Fantastic job again T Reg!
Thanks! Big E is the star! Haha
great experience
Another awesome video Tyler! The little one is getting big! They grow way to quick.
Thanks man! They sure do! Greatest gift ever!
Great video! The footage of the trees coupled with the music was pretty cool! 😀
Thank you sir! Much appreciated!
That's where I want to go when I come out that way!
You bet! Huge riverbars, vast wilderness, and thick ocean air make for some of the best flying in the kitfox!
Beautiful video. I was working for Simpson Timber Company when they were logging old growth Redwood back in the 60's and 70's. I wonder if you're the first one to ever land on that sandbar. South Fork? Camp Grant? I love the message you include with your videos. Keep doing that, please.
@stevet8121 Thanks for the comment! So cool. It is crazy how big these trees can get, and how fast too. Alot of people can't tell the difference between an old growth and 100 year second growth.. this is south fork, north of the bridge. And thank you, all Glory goes to God!
Awesome video with great footage!
Those drone shots🔥 and that baby🥰
So our Pal Ray bought a Kitfox and we have concerns as to how his flying plans will play out, he's never flown and has built a runway and plans to take to the air next year ...Fingers crossed Thanks for sharing your adventure🙏
Wow, that is ambition. The Kitfox is definitely not a 'Get in and go' kind of aircraft. I would highly recommend he train in another kitfox or similar TW aircraft. Best of luck to your pal!
@@TylerRegli Sound advice Thank you
Great videos! Thank you. I want to build a plane and am considering Kitfox, Highlander and Rans S-21 Outbound. Can you explain why you went with Kitfox, vs another model?
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to check them out.. To be honest, I really liked the empennage shape of the Kitfox, the unique curved bottom and 'Mustang' style tail really appealed to me. On top of that, the Kitfox has a higher cruise speed than the highlander (maybe the Rans as well?). Stall speed may be higher in the Kitfox, but I am not trying any Steve Henry kind of stunts.. Altogether they are all good aircraft. Go with something that meets your mission and appeals to your taste!
@@TylerRegli thank you so much for your reply. I really like the Kitfox but upon inquiry, they are 18 months out with kit delivery. Rans is about 6 months. The cruize on the Rans is faster but they do not have the folding wings. There is a big shortage of hanger space here in Waco so I really like the folding wings option...Keep up the good work with your videos and stay safe! God bless
