A little help for a buyer

[jiott]

FYI, I fly an SS7 and am 5"10", 210 lbs and fit just fine with about 6" headroom to spare. HOWEVER, a couple of times in bad turbulence with the seat belt cinched tight I have banged my head on the skylight pretty hard. Therefore I would be quite leery of purchasing a plane with only a couple inches of head clearance sitting on the ground.

Do the 5 through 7 have the same cabin dimensions?

I believe so.

I'm 6 ft and 1/2 inch tall and weigh 185-195 (depending on lifestyle at the time), have a 34 waist with a 32 inseam, and fit just great in my Model 4-1200. I've also flown with a 245 lb friend who is slightly shorter than me, and with the clear plexi bubble doors we were both quite comfy. My Model 4 is way more comfortable for me than a Cessna 152 by comparison.

Would a bigger cabin be nice? Maybe? I also have a Just Aircraft Highlander, which has a huge cabin, and has lots of extra room. But in reality I like the snug feel of my Kitfox 4. Kind of feels like you put it on rather than just crawling in it.

Best thing to do is to go sit in different Kitfoxes to determine which one you prefer.

Thank you. I'm trying to find a Kitfox in Texas to look at, but no luck yet.
