    About this addon

    Introducing, the Kitfox Speedster Series 7 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 by Project Stratosphere, developed by Adi S.

    The Kitfox Speedster Series 7 by Denny Kitfox is a single engine, 2 seater, amateur built kit plane. The speedster variant of the Kitfox Series 7 line up is much like the Speedster Series 4, but with shorter wings and a faster roll rate compared to other Kitfox aircraft, to increase speed and roll rate. The Kitfox brand has a reputation for making high performance aircraft, capable of extremely short landings and takeoffs, which is excellent for bush flying. Kitfox offers a series of engines to be implemented into their aircraft, all made by the Austrian company Rotax. This addon features the Rotax 912 iS, a four-stroke piston engine, with the capability of producing up to 100 horsepower. This engine is paired with an Airmaster Propeller. These propellers come with a controller system, to change the angle of the blade. This controller has been implemented in this addon.

    This addon includes:

    • Accurate flight model
    • 2 variants (Wheel pant and bushwheel)
    • Airmaster Propeller Controller System
    • Working circuit breakers
    • Smoke effect
    • High quality 8K PBR texturing
    • High quality model 
    • 26" Airstreak Bushwheels
    • 7 Liveries
    • G3X Screen
    • GTR200 Radio Panel
    • GTN750
    • 3 Backup Gauges
    • 3 Cockpit Configurations (Gauge/GTN750/Empty)
    • Accurate sounds
    • Detailed documentation
    • and much more!

    Note:

    • The switch to turn on the smoke effect can be found behind the left seat. 
    • The smoke effect should not be turned on when the aircraft is stationary. The collection of smoke particles may result in a loss of framerate. 
    • A detailed documentation is also included in the addon folder (adi-kitfox-speedster) in the official folder directory.

    See you in the skies!

    What a great plane for the price! I've been watching this mod develop over the past few months and have observed a dedicated, responsive developer who seems well worth investing in. I really like the functional Airmaster system, it sets this mod apart from the other Kitfoxes out there. The model is well done, and I love the option of having a few steam gauges or the 750 on the right side. An enjoyable plane to fly and a competent bush option. Money well spent!

    UPDATE: I've redone the FM for the Bushwheel variant! Spent 8 hrs working on many other things for this plane too. 2 Stars for the sounds, textures and the 3D model. Textures and 3D Model are 90% good. REALLY they did a great job on most of the previously mentioned, but...... I have to be honest here and give 0 stars for the rest because at purchase the plane is not flyable. With many problems relating to Center of Gravity, Flight Model, surface area dimensions, reference speeds, and much more, I can only give 2 stars. A realistic and fun to fly overhaul mod for the bushwheel variant of this KitFox Series 7 Speedster will be up on Flightsim.to tomorrow 3/11/2024

    My first purchase for MSFS2020. Couldn't be happier. Great fun plane, perfect for backcountry flying. Looking forward to future tweaks and updates.

    nicely done model. control inputs are okay (aileron, rudder and elevator) but the plane just won't slow down. you can cut the throttle and remain in a 5-10 degree nose up and you're just not bleeding speed. something is wrong.

    Great Plane, especially for the price. Really well done version of the kitfox. The plane feels nice and is extremely well modeled. I also received good support from the developer. Even though I already owned the //42 Kitfox, I am happy to have this plane as part of my fleet and it will get lots of flight time.

    Hello Adi, just purchased the Kitfox and like it so far! However I all electrical systems failed on after a few minutes in flight. I could not find a generator switch (as there should be none). Simconnect reported 21V. SPAD.next Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo DX12 MSFS 1.27.21.0 (SU10)

    Just purchased this marvellous little bird, after reaching out to Adi about the Airmaster sytem functionality being implemented, and it has been! Now that's what I call a good developer. Marvellous effort and excellent value added, with a whole slew of improvements in the latest update. Thanks Adi. Your a man of your word.

    5 Stars bro!! I love it! The stall characteristics seems to be up to par to the real aircraft.

    Aside from a few discrepancies, which are being looked at and fixed, as this aircraft model develops, if you are on the fence about the purchase, it is a nicely done model, which is growing and improving. He's already worked off several of my nitpicky finds and has a nice little, ever improving Paint kit. If your are looking for a fairly inexpensive, simple Aircraft Model, that doesn't have all the "Fluff" this is one to put in your hanger! It is also a great Model for the newcomer to experiment with modifying things like engine and flight model files as it is easy to get to them and just all around fun to play with! I'm giving it a 4 star as there are some things that I'm sure he will be looking into to make better... If you are looking to make liveries for this aircraft, I have a whole series of Videos that can help you do that, just do a search for AIRPAC1 on YouTube!
