FlyingMachine

Many tools used in the construction of this Kitfox ("Charlies Angel" ) came from Northern Tools. The plane was built at my home in Northern Virginia before I retired. It took me nine years to complete the project, but its a labor of love. My Daughter named the plane "Charlies Angel" after my middle name as I go by Charlie. The first flight was on October 18, 2003 at 1:11 PM at the Warrenton, Virginia airport (W-66). The wind was calm on takeoff but became 10 knots gusting during landing so it took two attemps to sett it down. The plane and I have now relocated to Wilmington, NC, and it has been flying successfully now for 312 years. I know this is not a car and probably not the ultimate RV you are looking for, but I consider it my ultimate ride anyway.SincerlyCharlie Conti
