Hello Neil,
Thanks for your reply and suggestion to call "Foxworker". I'm interested to know how the Skyfox compares with a more conventional, later-model Fox with respect to handling characteristics, performance. etc. The ball in the Fox I know dances around all over the place but the two pilot reports I've read of the Skyfox (UK Pilot and Flyer magazines) remark on the lack of adverse yaw on this version - probably due to the larger fin size and possible different aileron control rigging of the Skyfox. The Skyfox is not known in the US. It could be flown here on the basis of its European VLA certification (same as the Diamond Katana) but one would have to go through the process to get the certification accepted by the FAA which, while straightforward, is also expensive and would make no sense at all if one just wanted to fly a better Fox for personal use.
Thanks again for your help Neil.
Regards,
Paul Madden (Boston)
