Keith,
One of the best references I have found regarding how the Kitfox feels and performs is the one titled "How to fly a Kitfox"......Kitfox aircraft (John McBean) sells these books for a very reasonable price. The book considers the flying and performance characteristics of each Kitfox model; and, I found it to be very accurate on the subject.
FWIW.....although the 152 and Kitfox 7 while pretty similar in max weight, my reaction to the Kitfox was.... 1) "Holy Crap this thing gets off the ground and climbs RIGHT NOW" and, the clear distinction that 2) the kitfox controls don't have any of the slop and drag in the mechanism that a well worn Cessna has plus 3) plenty of control authority in slow flight (think full length flaperons compared to much shorter alierons)
A lot of what we speak about regarding turbulence relates to individual perception and experience. Beyond simply saying that a low wing loading aircraft compared to high wing loading aircraft feels the potholes in the sky differently.... it is not possible to advise how another person will see it.
My best advice to is get out there and find someone with a 5, 6, 7 or Supersport and get some in flight experience......
What sold me on the Kitfox was flying it........you'll never know for sure what it is like without getting in one and seeing how it feels to you.
