Les Smoot (who has worked for the military I think) claims he has rebuilt over a thousand 4A084s. He still builds and modifies them. He has put together an EFI package for the 084, most of it off-the-shelf from a vendor, that he feels produces around 50 hp. He claims that he gets 230-240 static thrust from these direct drive engines. It wasn't 100% clear to me if he was talking about the generic engine or his EFI models. Sounded like he was talking abut the generic version. I have a great video he made. He talks about his EFI setup. He demonstrates his EFI engine running. Sounds SO GOOD! I would like to post it where folks can get to it but it is 287 MB. any ideas?

I'm a former Glider/G.A./Gyro pilot looking to get a taildragger. I'm considering both a Kolb MK III Extra AND a Kitfox IV. I just can't find anywhere where someone has compared the two. Any advice? I'm specifically looking at the KF, Kolb or Avid because when I owned a Gyroplane, I trailered it to/from my local airport 3 miles away. I kept it in my barn and avoided hanger fees etc. Any thoughts folks? Thanks.
