Should you build your own bush plane? In this video I share my experience building a Kitfox Model 7 STi, but it can apply to building an experimental aircraft in general. Building a plane was not a walk in the park like I expected after seeing all the videos and marketing from Kitfox, but here is my honest review on what it was like building this experimental aircraft. We cover everything from the budget you need, effort, space, and tools required and much more. Many of you probably have expectations regarding this journey, but I will share with you the reality of building a Kitfox.
