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 (PC only)
  • 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. (PC only)

See you in the skies!

The Series 7 Speedster is a single-engine, two-seat, short take-off and landing (STOL) light sport aircraft by American aviation producer Kitfox. It was developed from the firm’s renowned S7 Super Sport, an aircraft known for its exceptional STOL performance. The Series 7 Speedster was introduced in 2017.

The Series 7 Speedster is the result of years of observation and iterative development of the Kitfox line. In designing the Speedster, engineers reduced the wingspan of the S7 Super Sport from 32 feet to 28 feet. This provides a much faster roll rate and hence gives it a “sporty” functional demeanor. Kitfox also re-engineered the full-span flaperons used on the wing of the Speedster, changing them from an asymmetric to a symmetrical airfoil. This gives the aircraft a tight, high-precision control response, and coupled with the power and balance of the airframe, provides aviators with an overall exceptional flying experience.

The Series 7 Speedster measures 19 feet, 8 inches in length and features a side-by-side cockpit, a traditional undercarriage with wheel pants on its main gear, and a standard tail unit. It is powered by a 100-horsepower Rotax 912 piston engine that turns a 3-blade, constant-speed propeller. The Speedster takes off with a roll of 330 feet and lands in 350 feet. It climbs at 1,000 feet per minute, has a stall speed of 46 miles per hour, and cruises at 130 mph.

The Series 7 Speedster by Kitfox offers an incredible spectrum of performance for adventure aviators. A great STOL-capable craft, pilots can lift off from short, unimproved airfields and fly tight maneuvers aloft with precision.
