The Skyfox CA25N Gazelle is derived from the tailwheel CA25 Skyfox. The full history of the design and development can be found here. The N in the model number denotes the nosewheel model. The airframe is built from 4130 chrome molyb-denum steel, with the wings built up on tubular spars with an internal web, along with metal drag and anti drag braces. Plywood ribs are epoxy bonded to the spars. They are then covered with Stits polyfibre and Dulux paint. Power is from a Rotax 912, which gives the aircraft the flatter engine cowling — the easiest way to differentiate this machine from the radial type cowl of the US Kitfox. Production ceased in late 1999 after about 106 tail-draggers and 83 nose-wheeled machines had been constructed.
