firewall forward

[tjentzsch]

Thank you. I guess I am confused, because the kitfox firewall forward (at least what I am able to determine) states that the engine in extra and from the looks of it, the prop as well. I did not seem to find any info on exactly what was included in the firewall forward kit listed on their site.

I am just trying to add up costs and it seems with the kit at about 25k and a motor at about another 20k, I would have thought everything would be included between the kit and motor costs.

Avionics and lighting will also add some cost. ...and paint.

[tjentzsch]

Exactly. I have been researching those as well. It seems like it would be close to 60k for everything if I can find and build it on a reasonable budget.

The firewall forward kit is separate because it will vary on which engine you decide to install. I think Kitfox offers more engine options than any other kit plane.

For pricing and what is included, check the Kitfox Aircraft Parts Catalog. The Firewall forward kit does not, as previously stated, include the engine. The cost and contents of the Firewall Forward depends on which engine selection you make. You will find this practice common among all kit manufacturers.

Awesome, thanks for the help everyone.

I think when I get close, I will get the 912 100hp motor, unsure about the fuel injected version. Carbs seem more reliable and easier to maintain????

hmmm, seems I used the exact opposite rational for why I purchased the fuel injected 912. Possibly misguided Ill admit but I just haven't heard too much from any folks who are flying the 912iS while carb balancing has been a large subject here.
