Info on N618GZ Kitfox wanted!

[nemesisnxt]

Gents,

Looking for information regarding N618GZ "Tweety Bird" STOL Kitfox 3 built and owned by Tom Tschantz.

The most important information I would like is the aircraft's empty weight.

Thanks in advance!

Looking at an unbuilt KF-3, interested to see if its possible to make 550lbs or less with a 912.

Not bad considering its 100hp. Thanks for the info!

Would the uncowled 912 have issues in cold weather? Or with proper thermostats would the engine be just fine?

Might be a pain to clean he bugs off, but are there any disadvantages besides aerodynamics to leave the cowl off?

Would need to add carb heat system for sure.

The AirCam has Two Rotax 912 out in the air.

I know of several pushers without cowls and no carb heat. Just on my field there's a Sky-Boy and a Searay.
