Kitfox Aircraft Series 7 for Sale — The Ultimate Backcountry Kit Plane
The Kitfox Series 7 is the pinnacle of the Kitfox Aircraft Company's four-decade evolution of the light backcountry kit aircraft concept — a folding-wing, fabric-covered design that has consistently delivered the short-field capability, utility, and builder satisfaction that has made the Kitfox name synonymous with accessible backcountry aviation. The Series 7's folding wing system remains the design's most distinctive practical feature: wings fold in minutes without tools, allowing the aircraft to fit in a standard single-car garage or be towed behind a vehicle to remote launch sites. This combination of go-anywhere portability and genuine STOL capability opens operational possibilities that no other aircraft in the experimental kit category can match.
Series 7 Specifications
The Kitfox Series 7 is typically powered by Rotax 912 or 912 ULS engines producing 80-100 horsepower, with optional Rotax 912 iS fuel-injected variant for improved efficiency and FADEC control. The fabric-covered steel tube and aluminum structure provides a robust airframe capable of tundra tire, float, and ski operations that access the remote locations the Kitfox's buyers typically seek. Cruise speed of approximately 100-115 knots and short-field performance measured in hundreds of feet rather than thousands make the Series 7 genuinely capable of operations that no certified production aircraft can match at comparable cost.
