Kitfox Classic IV
Kitfox
Aircraft - Classic IV
Special
Order Only - European Market
With thousands sold
all over the world the Classic 4 has
evolved over the last 29 years to become
the icon of the Kitfox. 4130 chromoly
tubing structure, folding wings,
multiple engine, cowling, and landing
gear choices. The Classic 4 is the most
copied kit built aircraft on the market today.
The Classic IV continued to
offer the European market the
opportunity to own and fly the
Kitfox and still does.
However, with the European
market adapting to the higher
gross weights the S7 Super Sport
is becoming the Kitfox of
choice.
When the Light Sport Aircraft
rules were introduced, the
maximum gross weight allowance
was 1232 lbs. At 1200 max
gross, The Classic
IV fit into this limit very
nicely and quickly became the
Poster Child for the Light
Sport Aircraft and Sport Pilot
rules.
The 1232 lbs max limit was
based on the European rules and
proposed changes. When the
actual rule was published, the
maximum gross weight was
increase to 1320 lbs for gear
equipped aircraft and 1430 lbs
for those on floats. This
allowed the Series 7 Super Sport
Aircraft to fit into the Light
Sport Aircraft rule and have a
lot of margin for safety built
in. The Series 7 Super
Sport was originally designed
and tested to maximum gross
weight capabilities of 1550 lbs
max gross at +5.7 G's and -3.8
G's ultimate loads.
Because of the Kitfox's light
empty weight it allows the Super
Sport to be operated at the
lower 1320 lbs or 1430 lbs and
still carry up to 150 lbs of
baggage and 2 adults.
The Classic IV is still
available by special order only.
Primarily for the European
market that has not upgraded yet
to the 600 kg (1320). With over
29 years of
development and testing, over a million accumulated
flight hours it's no wonder the Kitfox has the safest
record in the industry. Safety must be first in
your kit plane choice.
