Cabin size

[grdev]

Is there any difference in the 4 & the 5 models cabin size ? I sat in a 5 today and fit fine, but I'm looking at a 4 model to buy.

Thanks

Yes there is definitely a difference. The 5 is a larger airplane than a 4.

Don't let that dissuade you from investigating the 4, though. You may be just fine in the smaller cabin. I'm short, but stocky (ahem) 5'-9" and 225#. I have no issue with my 4 and actually reset the rudder peddles closer because there was too much leg room.

I flew my plane from northern Georgia to northern Wisconsin with a passenger my size. We were cozy, but comfortable.

I went to a fly in at SUUV Sullivan MO last year or so, a guy that flew in had a model 4 speedster for sale in kit form with a 912 motor mount.
Think I still have his number, Mike Zeigler his name , his number
(314) 566-3359

I was at that air show this last summer, just live down the road from there. Do you have any idea his price?

I'm 6'1" and 185 lbs and fit in my model 4 just great if that helps. In fact, I own two other aircraft with much larger cabins but actually prefer the nice snug fit (in a good way) of my Kitfox 4. It feels more like you put it on, rather than just crawling into it...

The 4 model I'm buying says it has long wings with speed tips. Can anyone explain to me just what that means? Any idea what the cruise would be with a 582?

Thanks
