Dave, Most certain. I have flown it about 20 hours or so. I am an old 2
stroke dirtbike racer and am very comfortable with 2 stroke engines. Bought
the engine used FWF with a C box with 100 hours on everything. It was
pulled from a kitfox for a larger engine install. The engine had sat for a
year before I bought it, and another year and a half before I installed it
and fired it up. I have a Warp Drive ground adjustable prop that came with
the engine. It is rated at 65 HP. Don't forget this thread started with
questions about a 100 HP engine.

My point is isn't the 582 enough on a kf 2-3? .... I raced skidoo so I und
erstand the tweaking a 2 strokes too .... that's easy but the life of a av
iation engine is totally different. Totally. One is a highly tweaked sprin
ter vs cruising at 70% for long periods.
If you go to youtube and search. Kitfox short field take off and see a tan
model 2 that all stock w a 582 bluehead ....

Has anyone had experience with the Rotax 670 engine? Rotax Rick sells them
on Barnstormers. From his ads he appears to be experienced in providing re
built Rotax engines. I thought the 670, if setup properly, might be the wa
y to go for added power. My limitedexperience with my 582 leads me to reco
mmend Rotax as avery reliable 65 HP engine.Remember this thread's question
was for powering a mod 5 with 100 HP.

Hello all
Here is a question. What is the opinion of a Hirth F30 110 hp. in a model
5TD? I have an NSI 140T with CAP prop. Do not like it. Throw ideas, thoug
hts or experience to me.
Thanks
