I owned a Kitfox 3 and it was quite a nice aeroplane. It was 912 powered. We never used the flaps since they seem to reduce roll authority on landing.
I agree with the previous comments, the progression from 1 to 7 indicates a general improvement in handling (and speed). 1 to 3 are like microlights, after 4s the handling became more like a light aircraft. Less twitchy, more stable.
Landing is not particularly bad but they are taildraggers so need some respect. If you land fast they will bounce. Later models have a Grove aluminium undercarriage rather than bungee rubbers. View over the nose is OK so you sit with the stick right back until the bouncing business is over. Or learn to get it right!
On the plus side they are as cheap as chips to operate, there are plenty in the country and have a wing fold so you could conceivably trail them home, if you have a long and high garage.
My mate has over 1000 hours on Kitfoxes and absolutely loves them.
