Hi,
I'm contemplating getting back into flying after a few years off. The Kitfox seems a good choice for me. I found this forum and this is my first post here. I've seen used Kitfox planes with the Rotax 912 80 hp engine. I suspect the 80hp engine has lower compression ratio as compared to the 100hp. If so, is there a problem with using 100LL fuel? Any other conditions with the 80hp I should be aware of in choosing a plane with this engine?
Thanks.
Louie
