Thread drift I know but hey. I drove up to the gate at Serpentine WA and rang a committe member whose number was on the gate. I was made enormously welcome with about a 1 1/2 hour intro through the hangars/members who were present. I came away with the most positive impression I have had from any flying fraternity and trust me I have visited dozens in many countries.

rotax- owner.com is very good and will help you keep up with improvements.
I referred to the site often when I flew my Foxbat. This site was my preferred option for Rotax enquiries whereas the Kitfox site was directly involved with the airframe and less so for the engine side. Still helpful though.
From late 60s to 70s the RAAF flew Mystere Fanjet Falcons (Dassault) as VIP transport. Nice little units they were. I had a short flight on one but it was not my normal mode of transport.
I imported an 8” matco pneumatic tail wheel from the US and considered it worthwhile. It made a big difference to the comfort compared to the solid wheel that was originally fitted. Going back about 8/10 years so I can’t add much more.
The weight difference was minimal.
