Looks like the one that has been on Barnstormers for a while now.

Regarding the pitch setting on his 912s it seems he is way over pitched and overloads the poor 912...

He's only getting 5100-5130Rpm WOT on take - off / climb (you should NEVER run below 5200RPM WOT.... Should be at least 5350+

Level WOT he is only getting 5390Rpm.....should be at least 5500 to 5700Rpm.

 

The 912 really likes to cruise (~75%) at around 5200-5300Rpm for best efficiency. 

If I were in the market for a Kitfox 5 ,  would not buy this Kitfox (even though it looks great) because of the risk of the engine crankcase fretting ......it's expensive to fix....been there
