Kitfox with Rotec Radials

In this video we show how the Rotec R2800 radial is coupled to the Kitfox.
At the end of the video there is a short pictorial compilation of Rotec powered Kitfox, ranging from the Kitfox Model 3 all the way to the current Super Sport 7.

Beautiful video Paul! This engine was absolutely a perfect fit for the Kitfox!!!

I'm not a plane enthusiast but those engines are gorgeous.

Nothing looks or sounds as bomb as a nice radial. I don't care what hp a 4 banger has, it sounds like a lawnmower.

That's nice! I like it! Richie likey! I wish I was rich and could buy one with some modification to it to make it look like a 1930's Monocoupe. That would be awesome!

What was your total cost for all of everything?

[@peterr1342]

And what about the "Bump Cowl"?

What kind of numbers are you seeing with the radial? Cruise? Climb? Range, (endurance) Useful load? Etc.

[@fb2800]

I really enjoy flying this plane. I get about 1100 fpm climb on what is consider a cruise prop, 76"D x 55" wood. Cruise is great 80' at just 18" engine mp. Or if in a hurry 90' at 20"mp. Fuel burn average about 20 litres / hr cruise. I have the 50 litres tanks in each wing tank so 100 litres total plus the header tank. 5 hrs flight. Range is excellent. Usfull load is adequate but reduced slightly due to the larger engine. I have made a good sized ply wood boxed in luggage compartment behind the seats.
