Hey, any of your thoughts would be super helpful!
I live in in the Seattle WA area, and I am working towards buying my first plane (a STOL type bush plane). It's primary use will be for weekend adventures, mainly remote back country camping. I'm looking forward to landing and camping in areas where most planes can't go.
I really like the Kitfox, a lot. I love it's look/design, the price is right, and the visibility is incredible. It really does hit all the marks for me. The only draw back is I wan't to fly with my two kids (ages 4 & 7). I have been doing a lot of research on what it would take, if possible, to modify this plane for a third seat.
I've seen a guy do it in a STOL CH 750 Super Duty, powered by a Viking Honda Engine. The 750, however, is a tri-gear. I am planing on a tail dragger.
What do you all think? Is this type of modification something that is doable, with it still making sense cost wise???
Would love your feedback.
Thanks!
