    They forgot jet fuel consumption!

    A 65lbs engine sounds nice. Even with the double fuel consumption

    Not a Kitfox though, it's actually and Avid Flyer... :-) At 10 gallons per hour though, I think it will be a while before I place an order. ;-) Still kind of neat. Thanks for posting it. JImChuk

    I saw somewhere in their data 27kg/hr fuel burn for the 100 hp and 32kg/hr for the 130 hp.

    If my calculations are right, 27kg/hour is about 7 gph.

    I believe a kilogram is 2.2 lbs. 27 X 2.2 = 59.4 lbs. Don't know off hand the weight of jet fuel, but gas is about 6 lbs, so that's where I came up with about 10 gallons per hour. Not exact, but close I think?? JImChuk

    PS before I posted this, I googled jet fuel weight, and it's 6.84 lbs per gallon. That would make for a 8.68 per hour fuel burn.

    My bad. I don't know where I got the idea for 8# per gallon. That's gas...
