I have a Piper Pacer that I am considering selling and buying a Kitfox IV. I don't really need the 4 seat capacity but like the decent cruise performance, luggage capacity and ability to handle turbulence and crosswind easily. However, I am attracted to having a noncertified plane that I don't have to worry about STCs for mods and cheaper parts.
What are the limitations for the KF in crosswind? How does it handle it turbulence? How are long cross-country flights in the plane? Has anyone used them for light, occasional IFR?
