This is not a kitfox vs avid question. I am pretty well sold on either one, Avid MKIV or the kitfox equivalent which I have not researched yet.

My mission perimeters are,

2-place
STOL
Can be fitted with floats
Cruise at about 100mph
baggage capacity for 50 lbs bag
allow other options for engines

I've seen a few projects for sale. My question is regarding taking on another persons project and the possibility of the workmanship being poor resulting in a unsafe plane. In other words, some place have more room for error or "subjectivity" in the build, like a Long EZ for example. Is the Avid/Kitfox an easy enough kit that it is hard to screw it up?

Thanks.
