Aerovee for a IV?
I finally found my Kitfox IV on Barnstormers yesterday (hooray!). It's just about ready to cover and start on FWF.
I've been wondering about using an Aerovee instead of a Rotax. $6500 for a new engine. 80 hp, single carb, direct drive, air-cooled -- but most important -- an engine I already know how to work on. Seems like a pretty obvious choice, and yet I don't think I've ever heard of a VW powered Kitfox.
Anybody know why?
Yes, I already know how wonderful Rotax is. But with all the subie-powered Kitfoxes, you'd think someone would have tried a VW at some point. Won't any 80 HP engine work? As near as I can tell, it only weighs 29 pounds more. After all, Subaru E81 weighs 68 pounds more.
