Kitfox introduces the Kitfox Squared, two place ultralight trainer.

At Sun N Fun in 1984 I had the pleasure to interview an aircraft designer and manufacturer called Dan Denney. He was at the show with his new Kitfox. Dan and his Kitfox became one of the leaders in light aircraft manufacturing in the world.

Dan has since sold the factory and design to move on to other things. The factory continues to build the Kitfox in a number of models. This year they introduced their latest design the Kitfox Lite squared.

The Kitfox Lite squared is being introduced primarily as an ultralight trainer, and to fit into the new sport pilot program. According the factory "about 2 months before Sun N Fun the decision was made to offer the Kitfox Lite in a trike configuration." "The reason for this was that research has shown that a lot of pilots are intimidate by tail draggers add to this that most conventional training facilities are training on tri-cycle gear style aircraft." Another consideration was "the additional cost of insuring tail dragger aircraft." "Buy coming out with a tri-cycle geared aircraft we have been able to get around the sales objections of a tail wheeled aircraft"

Until the Sport Pilot Program is accepted the Lite squared will be only offered as a ready to fly aircraft to ultralight flight training schools, but it is also available to the schools in kit form, or can also be built and flown under the experimental category.

"In the case of the Light Squared we have it down to a 400 hour build time" this is possible because"we have prebuilt the frame, and wings, and rigged the wings to airframe, leaving you with simple nut and bolt construction to finish off the airplane."

"Once up and flying the Light equipped with a 503 Rotax engine, will give you between a 500 and 700 per minute climb rate, cruise at 80 mph." With a 912 Rotax engine the performance figures for climb will nearly double and cruise will increase to over 100 mph."

The Lite Squared like all Kitfox models has folding wings for quick and easy storage. For short trips the wings can be folded and the craft pulled along the highway on it's own gear, using a special tow bar. There are also a number of trailers available specifically designed to allow transport of a 'wing folded Kitfox."
