Power. The one word that perfectly describes the new KFA Safari powered by a Rotax 916 engine.
With climb rates of 2000' per minute at 50kts. Incredible high density altitude performance. And a new wing designed that allows the aircraft to fly below 28kts and above 100kts in cruise.
There is very little that I can fault about the new iteration of the Safari. A true utilitarian adventure machine. The only downside I see is the price of the engine and propellor combination. If I had the money, I'd upgrade to one of these tomorrow.
Huge thank you to the KFA team for allowing me the opportunity to fly this incredible machine!

I'm not sure I agree with your characterisation of the safari not being aesthetically pleasing. Especially in that black/red/grey colour scheme, it is bloody gorgeous.
@ThomasMarrow
@ThomasMarrow Месяц назад
100% agree with you on that too! I meant the comment in a way that the aircraft wasn't designed with aesthetics in mind but more so utility - like the land cruiser, the utility gives it the aesthetic beauty we all love

Personally I absolutely love the way the plane looks, looks beautiful, the paint job is complimenting it as well! Beautiful slow flight with the big wings would be a dream! much better than the plane I fly 😅 Awesome video man, glad to see you back in the air again with the cameras!

So, how does the extra weight forward of the CG help on short landings?? I'll answer, it doesn't. Nice setup just a lot of compromises with a bigger/heavier powerplant.
@ThomasMarrow
@ThomasMarrow Месяц назад
Totally agree - a more forward CG definitely doesn't help on shorter landings but there are always trade offs. From my analysis, it is clear that the Safari 916 lands shorter and takes off shorter than any of the other Safari variants. This due to the larger, slower STL wing for landing and significantly more power on takeoff than any of the others. Another really important safety concern is that the plane will take off shorter than it will land, allowing for peace of mind when choosing shorter strips that are landable but aren't always takeoff friendly for most aircraft.

@@ThomasMarrow Sounds like we're on the same page! Whenever I hear of a bigger and heavier engine making a plane a "better bushplane" I feel the need to be a bit of a naysayer, as in MAYBE it does. BUT, making other changes, like the bigger wing you mention, changes things for sure. There are two builds in my area using the 916 going on currently, the engine is catching on, no surprise.

@@portnuefflyer surely it has to be a "better bushplane" if it can haul more and climb faster than any other bushplane with the same useful load.

Isn’t this basically a Kitfox?
@ThomasMarrow
@ThomasMarrow Месяц назад
It is a similar aircraft to the Kitfox, just like the Kitfox was a similar aircraft to the Avid Flyer. The KFA Safari is larger than the Kitfox 7 and there are a few other differences from the Kitfox on the Safari. I am planning to do a video on this topic in the near future.

Why didn’t you know what the DA was? We’re you too lazy to work it out? Poor airmanship and professionalism. Nice airplane though.
