Hi there, I know the Kitfox has the dual front seats, but I;m hoping to find something with a higher cruise speed with dual front seats... what other options are out there? I;d like to be 140mph+ cruise speed if possible... help?

I smell a troll

At that speed the only thing I can think of is an RV7.

how so?

ah ok... ya my guess is I would have to look at low-wing options.

I may have misunderstood the seat thing, are you only looking for only two options. I only fly a lowly 170 but wouldn't a 180/185 reach those speeds

Trolling trolling trolling...

Apparently the shamdemic is even taking a toll on the trolls, they have to reuse their old content, how depressing. Come to think of it that's what most magazine writers do.

Maybe a post titled "How do I fit a dual seat taildragger in my Mama's basement" for some fresh content.

How bout Building a 50 x 50 hangar for under 50 G

I just got deep into a discussion with a Florida resident on my Prius forum ( yeah, I have one) about driving a heavy truck in the mountains (54K anyway, my boom truck) and clueless car drivers, with about 5 or 6 times better power to weight ratio, and I won't go into the details but at one point I realized this gator chasing flatlander ( best I could do on short notice for pejorative descriptions of Floridians, no offense meant to any here) was as bored as I was, due to Covid issues and weather, the weather at least on my part. So I bailed, he won " he's a winner", thanks Tom T. Hall. Weird days, be even weirder I think without the internet? I did get in one final lick " don't complain about big slow trucks, with food in your mouth, and better strip naked and move into a hole in the ground, because without trucks, that's where you'd be!"
My vote is for the GlasStar, as folding wings was probably next on the OP's wish list.

Bobby Bear....but I know exactly what you're saying!! Just got done with that very same thing.

Yeah, I stand corrected! Don't know what I was thinking, but the next day after posting here heard it on the radio and saw Bear's name, and got all chagrined.....could have swore it was Hall. Great tune nonetheless.

Trolls are only trolls if you let yourself be trolled...
