1) A standard SS 7, with a glass cockpit a' la' some of the newer builds we've all seen on this site.
2) A Rotax 912S that costs no more than it SHOULD cost = about $5,000. Would love to see Yamaha or Kawasaki take the plunge... (dream music playing in the background).
PS: I'd like to give Rotax's management team a spanking... imagine how many more people (and more airplane sales) would jump into the Homebuilt/LSA pool if the engine and avionics were priced with the same margin in mind as say the Kitfox/RV/Sonex airframe manufacturers = old dead "Certified" airframes with 10 gals/hour performance would be go to the smelter... airports would come back to life and the GA industry would rebound and grow.
I wish the 1,320 lb LSA limit was lifted to 1,550.
I like tandem except you can't keep all of your junk right there next to you, or your girl for that matter.
My perfect Kitfox would be a 912S powered 650 lb. Model 7 tail dragger on tall Cub like gear and Alaskan BushWheels. A bigger horizontal wouldn't hurt either.
I know I have no one to blame but my self, but for me the perfect Kitfox would be for this one to be finished, not sitting in the garage more or less untouched for the last 3 months. I finished painting the fabric and have been to busy with other things to do much on it since. I suppose if I didn't have the Avid to fly, I would have a bit more incentive to get into a bigger hurry. Take care, Jim Chuk
Let,s see. We have a 650 lb. tandem seat 7 with Alaskan Bush wheels pulled by a $5000 Rotax. I have fantasies too. My perfect Kitfox would be one of the two in my hangar - the yellow IV, but with 40 hours on the Hobbs!
