Bill Hammond's Kitfox Series 6 Project - N913KF

Latest Progress: 6/18/07 - 440 hours on the airplane and only minor maintenance issues. I have made 884 landings on the original tires. They look like they will be good for another year or two yet.

The Purpose Of This Site

My name is Bill Hammond. I am publishing this site to chronicle my progress as I attempt to build my own aircraft. The site will grow and the links expand along with the project. This site will serve as a record of construction and a forum to express my opinion.

I've got a quick confession up front. I'm not a graphics designer, so don't expect this site to win any awards for its overwhelming beauty. I'm attempting to keep the file sizes low (all graphics are presented as thumbnails which link to the full sized picture) to provide the fastest page downloads. Additionally, take a look at any of the web page source codes. These pages were all manually produced on a text editor. Any automation present uses PERL. I chose not to use a GUI web development program because I like to see how everything works. [Maybe this trait will serve me well as I build my aircraft.]

Disclaimer

The construction methods and opinions documented on these pages are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect the only way (or indeed the correct way) to build an aircraft. Pay attention to them at your own risk.
