Kitfox Aircraft Insurance
Kitfox aircraft are some of the most versatile aircraft in the world of aviation. In the 1990’s SkyStar Aircraft purchased the design rights from Denney Aerocraft for the Kitfox, and further improved the design and array of choices by introducing Models 5-7, to include a light sport aircraft version. The Kitfox design changed hands in the 2000’s, when the assets of SkyStar were purchased by Kitfox Aircraft.
The versatility of Kitfox aircraft shows in many ways. One of the appealing aspects of this plane is that it can be sent to you as a kit, and you can build it yourself at home. Once finished, the wings can be folded which is a unique feature. The Series 7 model kit takes about 1,000 hours for assembly. Building the aircraft can be a fulfilling experience; once complete, you get the enjoyment of flying in your own amateur-built creation. Factory-built aircraft are generally available for purchase. Kitfox insurance policies can be purchased for factory built or home built aircraft.
The Kitfox can be constructed as a tricycle gear or tailwheel aircraft. The choice applies to either home-built or factory-built. It is important for your Kitfox insurance policy to show the correct gear configuration. An aviation insurance company could deny a claim if the landing gear configuration is different than what is shown on the aviation insurance policy. A Kitfox airplane insurance policy for a tail wheel aircraft can be more expensive than a tricycle gear Kitfox insurance policy. Kitfox insurance policies are available for tail wheel and tricycle gear aircraft through the major aviation insurance companies.
Whether home-built or factory-built, the Kitfox aircraft is an affordable aircraft for the recreational flyer. Kitfox insurance can be placed with one of the major aviation insurance companies. Our aviation insurance specialists can help navigate the market to find the best Kitfox insurance policy available.

We work with aircraft insurance companies that offer ground and flight coverage or in many cases builder’s risk coverage as the aircraft is being built. Travers Aviation can place Kitfox insurance policies with the top aviation insurance companies in the industry.
