Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum. I curently own a Sonex aircraft and pretty much enjoy it but now it is time to try something else. I'm looking for an airplane with good STOL capabilities but with good speed too. I made several search on the web and local pilots and two models always come up, and this is the eternal question:

Should I build a Kitfox or a Highlander?

I do believe that the Kitfox offers a bit more than the Highlander and something that is important for me is cruising speed. What is braking me down is the STOL capabilities of the Kitfox with a 912S.

Here are my questions for you Kitfox SS owners:

1. Do you think a Kitfox can go everywhere a Highlander goes, land or take off?

2. What's the real stall numbers in any configuration?

3. Is a Kitfox SS with 912S suitable for amphib floats? And what are the performances?

4. Which kit is the easiest to build between both?

5. About parts included in the kit, is the glareshield and center console included and pre-formed in the standard kit?

Thank you very much guys for help and keep posting good comments. It is really helpful.
