Specifically designed for backcountry flying, the Kitfox Super Sport cruises at 120 mph with 5 hours of endurance, yet lands and takes off in 300′. All while meeting the definition of Light Sport and allowing for sport pilot certification. Furthermore, the Kitfox offers a considerable useful load, side by side seating and bubble doors for excellent visibility making it as fun to fly as it is functional.
