    Default A litle more power

    From time to time, the question of how big an engine a Kitfox will support bubbles to the top.......John Mcbean may be trying his hand at answering this question.......

    The project bought, early model4, came with a FWF package excluding a prop .Its a 0 time, still in the box gray head 582 . I see that you can purchase a Rotax 670 with several more HP , and it looks to me to be the same block as the 582. I will admit I know very little about Rotax engines in general. My question is will everything I have in my FWF work with the 670? I see an exhaust system can be very expensive . Everything about these engines are expensive.
