Built of
steel tube and fabric
The fuselage is a welded steel-tube frame covered in fabric, with metal or wooden wing spars under fabric-covered wings; the fabric is replaced every few decades. The Kitfox: steel-tube fuselage, wooden wing ribs on aluminium spars, fabric over it. This is how the Foxair Llc KITFOX LIGHT SPORT family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N65KA, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Story Nelson G, an individual, certificate issued July 11, 2023, expires July 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for operating light-sport previously certificated, dated May 25, 2023, consistent with the 2023 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial KA21338527 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N65KA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech C90 (serial LJ-611, cancelled December 14, 2011). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N65KA. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
