Seeking advice from all Kitfox builders and "experts". I am halfway through
a Kitfox IV (1994 kit) which I am building to put on amphib floats. I want
to install at least 100 hp., but may not have enough cash for a 912S. What
is the best alternative engine? I like the Raven 1300 but Jeron thinks it
may be too heavy. Cant afford a Jab 120. Hearing bad things about the Soob
(heavy, doesn't deliver hp, etc. Query No. ONE What engine is best for
10k?
No. TWO I want to make the outer wing bays removable to convert to a
speedster on demand. Has anyone done it, how is it done, what diff. in
performance? I'm thinking a tube with O.D. which slips in the spars I.D.
then held with pin and safety like the root. The kit contains two extra
ribs so I can build up the 2 outer bays separately
No. THREE What other changes make a speedster wing? Is it only the lower
surface baby ribs to maintain the airfoil of the ribs?
