yes ,,the 5 is allot wider,..but seems the seat is tipped forward a bit more then the 2,.. or I'm just older and want to be reclined more lol..

as for the wire transfer,..it was faster then forecasted by the bank..it took less then 1/2 the time..

Glad things went smooth after the wallet and carb ice. I'll bet you were wondering there for a minute or two if this was going to go off as hoped.
Happy the one thing you thought could be a snag was not. The wire transfer.
Hope that your 912 Rotax is as good to you as mine have been to me.

I'm betting you like that big model 5 cabin compared to your other Kitfox.
