    Trent, you were the first plane TH-camr that I started watching, all those years ago, and you're just about to hit 500k now. It's a sad day to see the Freedom Fox go, but at the same time I wish you all the same success as the stories continue.

    These videos, the Freedomfox, the back county adventures have been so epic. Can't wait for the future build to be completed and the adventures that await. So cool to capture this cool moment handing over the plane. I'm not a pilot, I fly the Freedomfox in my simrig FS2020/24. It was really interesting watching the process of someone never having flown the Kitfox before and basically going through that whole process while he awaits his full licence. Really cool.
