ultralightPlaneFox tracks 5 Kitfox Series 5 / 6 / 7 aircraft for sale and re-reads every one of them from the broker and dealer sites it watches, so the figures below move when the market moves. Every number on this page is measured from those live listings, not taken from a published price guide.
A Kitfox Series 5 / 6 / 7 flies about 700 nm, roughly 1,296 km, which is about 6 h 15 min in still air at typical cruise.
A Kitfox Series 5 / 6 / 7 costs about EUR 872 a month to run, or about EUR 104 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The Kitfox Series 5 / 6 / 7 is a family of two-seat, high-wing, kit-built light aircraft in the Experimental Amateur-Built category. Developed from the earlier Kitfox line, the Series 5 appeared in the mid 1990s under SkyStar, with the Series 6 and Series 7 following as larger, stronger and more refined evolutions. Current Series 7 production is associated with Kitfox Aircraft LLC. These models matter because they moved the Kitfox concept beyond the very light early versions, adding higher gross weights, broader engine choices, improved handling options and better cross-country utility while retaining folding wings and short-field capability.
Performance varies significantly with engine, propeller, landing gear, tire size and builder choices. Typical cruise speeds for well-faired Series 5 / 6 / 7 aircraft are commonly in the 90 to 120 knot range, with large bush tires and STOL setups trading speed for field performance. Practical range is often around 350 to 600 nautical miles, depending on fuel capacity and power setting. Useful load commonly falls in the 600 to 800 lb range on later, higher-gross examples. Published service ceilings for later Series 7 configurations are often around 16,000 feet. Engines include Rotax 912 and 914 installations, later Rotax 912 iS and 915 iS installations, and some Continental, Jabiru or Lycoming choices, usually in the 80 to 155 hp class.
The cabin seats two side by side, with dual controls typical and excellent outward visibility through the doors and skylight area. The wing-folding system is a defining feature, useful for storage and trailering when properly rigged and maintained. Cabin finish varies widely because these are kit-built aircraft. Some are simple VFR machines with basic analog instruments, while newer or heavily upgraded Series 7 aircraft may have modern glass panels. Common avionics include Dynon SkyView, Garmin G3X Touch, MGL displays, Garmin portable or panel GPS units, transponders with ADS-B Out, and two-axis autopilots on cross-country oriented builds.
Buyers should evaluate build quality before model year alone. Important checks include airframe alignment, fabric condition, wing-fold mechanism, landing gear configuration, engine installation, weight and balance documentation, logbook depth, service bulletins, and whether the aircraft was built from complete factory components or modified extensively. Series 5 aircraft usually represent the lower-cost entry into the larger Kitfox generation. Series 6 aircraft are less common but valued for useful refinements. Series 7, including Super Sport, Speedster and STi-style configurations, generally commands stronger prices, especially with Rotax 912 iS, 914 or 915 iS power, modern avionics, quality paint and documented low-time operation.
