Airborne Affordable Flyers 01.05.24: Rotor X Warning, Kitfox Thief, ICON A5 TC?

After an on-again/off-again bankruptcy, dozens of customer complaints, troublesome reports from unpaid employees, numerous lawsuits from customers and companies they did business with, questions from legal agencies, being thrown out of their HQ building, and many other woes, Rotor X Aircraft says they’ll be back. 

And yes, we have a hard time believing it. An unlucky 2020 Kitfox owner in Las Vegas got an unusual call when he was asked if he'd just crashed his fancy new plane outside a small airport - but he was in his living room. As it happens, a repeat aircraft burglar just couldn't stick the landing with the shiny new Kitfox, setting the aircraft down outside Nevada's Barstow-Daggett airport. The culprit, 40-year-old Damian Zukaitis, had reportedly made off with aircraft a few times, taking them out for illicit rides. Overpriced, offering meager performance, and burdened with a history of disappointment, have made it hard for those who inherited the Icon program to get ahead. The company has turned to a certification program that has been all but abandoned by others in the SportPlane community. The FAA has granted Type Certification for the ICON A5 in the primary category. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
