In my opinion, the O200/S5 is one of the best combinations out there and I
wish I'd have gone that direction. The O200 is probably one of the simplest
and most reliable engines ever built. However, it's still a Continental and
some maintenance can be pricey, but parts are everywhere. If set up with a
good prop on a light S5 it would be ideal, IMO. Then again, probably not
the best for high density altitude airports. Engine TT and time since
overhaul can make a big difference.

In the meantime I have been looking at a Kitfox 5 with an 0-200 with only
20 hrs TT on it. I like it because its bigger and has more room for long
legs. Is there anything particular to this combination? Fuel burn, STOL
capability cruise speed and differences to the model 3 interest me.

My series 5 with the 0-200 cruise's at 110 ,I have the prop adjusted for a combination cruise and climb, using a warp drive 3 blade as I am not to familiar with the performance on the other models I can't speak for them . I am be able to land on short fields and get out just as easy , I haven’t went any further than what I feel comfortable with, BUT I am very happy with the performance although the only problem that I have had with the engine is one of my mags needed to be replaced after a couple of hundred hours.
