I have no idea, Don. However, when I installed a Jabiru in my Kitfox 3,
I looked at the Skyfox cowling that is made for the Jabiru. It would
have fitted if ... I did a lot of modifications on the glareshield,
panel and windshield. Because while the Kitfox 3 (and 4, I believe) is
rounded in a section of an arc, the Skyfox (and the Avid Flyer, I
believe) are flatter on the top than on the sides. So, it may fit if
you are prepared to do the modifications. I didn't wanted to so I made
my own cowling by keeping the aft end and moulding a fore end long
enough to house the Jabiru. It doesn't look any longer like the nice
Kitfox round cowling but it works well and keeps my air-cooled engine
just nice and dandy.
Cheers,
