Mark,
Not sure what comments you're looking for. I think the
Radial Kitfox on floats would be really cool.. We had considered putting
ours on floats this year but needed to go another direction.
Fly Safe !!

Subject: Kitfox-List: Radial 2800
A pilot friend of mine and myself are interested in The Kitfox as our second
build. ( Kolb is great ) The new Kitfox w/ the R2800 seems like fun. We both
have our seaplane rating and wish to continue with Amphib Floats with the
Kitfox. Any comments about this combination for our build would be very
helpful.
Thank you in advance

Since there are several radials on Kitfoxes now and the word is slow
getting out on their performance vs. the more conventional engines, my
guess is that there is not much to brag about. History tells me that if
there is not a lot of news, there is not a lot of excitement. I think
the Rotec looks great and can be show stopper and is no doubt fun to
fly, but I seriously doubt you will see many videos of them in the high
back country doing what the Rotax does.
Just an opinion.

Rotec radials sure look sexy -- I have yet to see any great performance videos
showing the killer STOL take offs. I would agree with Lowell that if they were
that hot you would hear about it more. But they are new still so time will tell.
I know a guy putting one in a IV about 40 miles East of me, I will fly in
one day soon and see how it is going. Gary Walsh did a quick video on it the
other day.
Now add some floats and make them AMPHIBS. you need power and a long prop.
You just narrowed it down to 912 UL or 912 S for dual operations.
my 582 Kitfox is a great solo but is more lethargic on amphibs on hot days. But
I can still fly with 2 guys 220 lbs and full fuel off glassy water.
You gotta stay light...... I have seen IV models on wheels 700 800 900 lbs. --
just kills the great performance.
Like it or not my videos show you the best of Kitfox performance. 582
912 s --
