[@Flightstar]

Pushing it, I can barely get 80 mph out of my older rans s7 Id be down to a proverbial crawl at 5200

[@carlylea]

Thanks for sharing this. What is the fuel flow monitor system that you're using? Would be something to consider in my kitfox.

hi Olle, this is a very useful video but numbers will change with met conditions and engine set-up,by the way you have a really good panel,what radio do you have installed,cheers mike

[@Olle1975]

Yes of course and altitude, too! Thank you, I've used the Becker 2010 radio but now I have the Funke ATR833A with 8,33 kHz. Olaf

What's the ceiling of the plane and also what is a safe altitude to fly it?

[@Olle1975]

Michael Lindstrom, you can fly the kitfox in in every altitude, in germany max 10000 ft, above the alpes 13000ft. I have flown in 7000 ft with 13 Liters/hr.

[@user-tc5hp1pr6i]

Great Olle. Thank you for the information.

Thanks! What's your average fuel consumption per 1h solo flight ?

[@Olle1975]

larkinflight One hr unhurried flight at 65 mph, I need 10 Liters.....

[@larkinflight]

Olle1975 10 liters? I thought Rotax 582 average fc is about 17!

[@Olle1975]

larkinflight Yes at 5800rpm and 85 mph I need 17 liters, but at 5100 rpm and 70 mph I need only 10 liters. Watch my fuelcomputer in this video and have look at the video "fuelconsumtion up to 5000ft, too.

[@larkinflight]

So the 582 CAN be fuel efficient! Thanks! Nice Kitfox by the way. I'm going to buy Kitfox or Avid hopefully soon.

[@Olle1975]

Yes it can, no problem. Thank you!
