    Welcome Nate!

    I am excited to follow your progress. Hoping to pick up some tips. It’s a good time to be a builder with so many chiming in with advice. It’s a very knowledgeable forum. Quite a few projects going on right now at various stages of completion. Thanks for the follow up on the Oratex.

    I'll be watching this thread another engine to consider for my build, I have a few years. Will it matter what firewall is used?

    Yes, you will have to use the lycoming firewall. Also, the cowling's will not work. So I have to make my own, should be fun...

    Here's one way to tow your kitfox:/ don't recommend it though. The tail will lift off the ground going down the highway!

    Question on the cowl, is it too short or not tall enough. Or? Just thinking if it could be split and extended/ shortened
