    Kitfox Mk 1 Engines
    Hello to All Avidfoxflyers
    Apologies if this question has been asked and answered on here already but I haven't seen it....
    I have recently become the proud new owner of a KFM 112 engined MK 1 Kitfox (one of the very few in the UK). I have just started the process of making her airworthy after she has sat in a garage for nearly five years. Initial investigation makes me hopeful that the engine is in good order.... However, I like to plan for the worst.
    What I want to know is, what is the heaviest engine that can be fitted to this aircraft? The KFM is 117 lbs, I have heard rumours that VW engines have been fitted to The MK1, and they weigh 170Lbs... does anybody have a definitive answer on this? What weight will the MK1 tolerate before airframe structure and or C of G is compromised.
    Many thanks
