I am sure this will come in handy to a lot of people who are at the stage of deciding on an engine.  That of course is why I am asking.  I am trying to figure out that perfect balance of cost, performance, and fun.  So. . . 

What engine do you have mounted in what model Kitfox and how does your performance stack up?  Looking for GPH, cruise, climb, overall impression, the sorts of things you would tell your friend if he was talking about buying the same engine.



Thanks for the help.
