    Ben, I think I'm going to copy your battery mount, hope its not patented. Thank for posting the pics.

    Sure thing! Let me know if you need any pictures. I’ve added a stiffener under the aluminum sheet. I plan on mounting my master relay and main fuse in the same location. Possibly the elt too.

    That's a good idea. I need some weigh aft myself and have just started thinking about it. I fly a piper archer now and it has the battery aft like that and I did not want another one like that because of never having enough power to the starter but I'm hoping a rotax is not as hard to crank as a Lycoming and copper wires are much better than the old aluminum ones I have now.

    Looks beautiful! Is that one of their in-flight adjustable models? Electric, hydraulic or hybrid?

    I was looking at their website a couple days ago and I couldn't make any sense of their offerings. They claim to have fully electric hubs, but I couldn't find any evidence of it in their product listings; I only found props labeled hydraulic. Did you call them for a Kitfox and engine-specific recommendation?

    This prop is only ground adjustable. I agree with you on the website information. Best thing to do is give the Florida location a call and Gaetan will promptly answer any questions you have. Excellent customer service in my opinion. Gaetan kept me up to date throughout the whole process via text, email, and his personal cell phone.

    It is, I’ll try to get my hands on a scale to get the weight for you.
