What is the general thought on STOL perf of the larger Foxes with "certified" engines ?
Thinking about a Mod 5 Outback with Lyc 0-235 125 HP , 925 empty weight.
My main need is STOL perf for rough short field situations, would a earlier version with 2 stroke better suit my needs ?
Cruise speed is of little importance as am not wanting to travel long distances, just local exploring.
Purchase price is about double for the Mod 5 compared to earlier versions with 2 strokes.
Any thoughts welcome.

I fly a Kitfox III with a 912. It's no slouch in the STOL performance. More than 1000 hrs on the clock.
