I am considering buying another 2 seat LSA airplane  soon and I want something that is well built and that will  cruise over 100 mph. I used to own a kolb MkIII with a rotax 503 and it was slow with a 55mph cruise and was a bit touchy in thermals and crosswinds. Now I am used to flying a single seat gyrocopter which is not touchy in wind and thermals.



I have really been leaning towards a titan tornado II or a Sonex with a 912 or Jabiru however I like the way the kit fox looks and I really like the way the wings fold. 



I flew in an Avid MK IV and it had a 582 and his seemed to only cruise around 80 indicated. I am guessing it was slower due to less hp that a 912. I want a true 100 plus mph cruise.
