   Post on Kitfox Mk 1 Engines in Avidfoxflyers General Hangar

   By Drewnew, posted 11 Nov 2020

   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

   Post on Fabric Weight (Model III) in Kitfox III

   By LSaupe, posted 11 Nov 2014

   Will soon be covering my fuselage.  Any thoughts on best fabric weight?  Leaning towards the light weight fabric, or... does the medium make more sense?
