And at $150+ per hour you'll pass it up in 6 months.

(Not counting all the motor work $$ you've already done...)

I also see Leni's point.

Say you buy a serviceable Pacer for 25K.

It will burn 3-4 gal/hour more than the 38K Kitfox and cruise faster than a Kitfox with the same size tires.

At $6.00/gal for avgas it will take 620 hours flight time to break even on the higher cost Kitfox versus the higher fuel burn Pacer.

If you do not have the repairman certificate for the Kitfox you will need to pay for the condition inspection as well as the the annual for the Pacer.

If you need folding wings or a Light sport license than the Pacer is not an option.

But - If you keep making rug rats, you will need a DC-3 or C-130!   :lol:
