I had a Kitfox II 582 for a few years! I loved it! The only problem was that I would only fly her in near perfect conditions when the wind was straight down the runway at home and the destination. Needless to say, I only did 50 hours in three years!
They are fun to fly, they look great, and with the folding wings on the Mk 2, hangarage is a lot cheaper, and if you trailer it home, even more still!
I had 5 hours instruction to convert from nosewheel (AX2000) to tailwheel, but didn't feel comfortable until I had at least 20 hours under my belt. Having said that, they are unforgiving on landing and you have to concentrate until the wheels stop.
I have sinced move to a Skyranger and my landings now are alot more disciplined because of the Kitfox experience.
If you can fly regularly, you'll love it. If you are a fair-weather flyer, chose something that demands a little less currency.
