From: "Tucsonchris" FYI, the Purolator PureOne PL 10241 recommended is too tall to fit under the stock Kitfox exhaust, Bought one, tried it. I'd have to take the exhaust off each time and it doesn't look like that would be fun. -------- Chris G.

It is a legal LS plane plus it is an antique. They are there for $25,000 on up. We have several in this area that are club owned. I will never live long enough to see a new LS that I consider affordable. My 2 cents worth. Good idea Jim. SportAviation had a recent article on a bunch of cheap certificated LSAs: Chiefs, Champs, Luscombs, Ercoupes, Cessna 120/140, PA 15/17, Taylorcraft BC-12. All these were claimed to be below $40k and many were below $30k. Don't know if they'd be insurable for flight instruction, though.

From: "Roger Lee" The Pure One as the Fram are slightly less 1/2" longer than a stock Rotax filter. There are a few instances where owners have a stock exhaust that is a little too close to fit the filter in over the threaded mount. Some with stock Rotax exhaust don't have this problem and some just have different exhaust. The only way to find out is buy one and try it. Sorry there is no other way. Don't put any oil in it and you can take it back if it is a tad too long. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
