"That short 701 wing was originally designed for a much lighter 701, with a 2-stroke engine".

Amen!

Hello Dominique

The only aerodynamic change that I know of the 701 was on the first edition 880lb frame , when they changed the slat angle . If you buy the old newsletter (now on CD) you will se ...

Hello Kevin , I have a set of first edition drawings . There's only one flap setting (30). If I have to guess the reason for the change , the previous answer sounds like the right one .

Hello

Has any of the 701 plans builders here tried to make the longerons single piece ? , I'm thinking a stretch Dave's brake . Do you think it's possible to do that long bend ? .

Thx

Over the radio we are going to be able to tell who fell off the ladder !

List ; Does anyone here has experience with altitude compensating carbs in the R582 ? , if so , how many hours ? , is your plugs reading consistent ? , thx .

Thanks Mark ; I know that when Larry post he includes a link , anyone reading this want to throw the link please thx. Founded the adress allready .

Mark ; I was trying to contact you off list but couldn't , receive msg that says "unable to deliver" . I bought Jon's scratch build video and down loaded the brake plans . I am going to scra ...

Noel ; There are no local ski- doo shops here only sea-doo , and I think most local techs don't care as long as you pay . Thx .

Google , Niol lockinton 701 , also look back into the list , Mark Townsend wrote about it .

Very good Dave ; Do you mind pointing to the rebuilders , source for short blocks etc. . If you want do it off line , I didn't mention , but the project in question is a 701 . Thx

Dave ; you seem to know , so do you think is worth the effort in terms of money savings ? . The other option that I cosider is buying a runout and rebuild it .

Thanks for helping ; the reason I ask is that they are plentyfull around here . You guys think , provided the right model , that a conversion could be made ? .

Are the 2stroke sea doo engines same as ski doo and the aircraft version ? .

Hi Kevin ; No it was a separate option when you wanted either more range or space for avionics. I have parts of a 1990 info pack , it doesn't say how many gal the D tank had , maybe zac has option dra ...

Kevin ; The early 701 had that option , it was called "D" tank . It was used in Conbination with the then optional wing tanks and allowed space for avionics. Has anyo ...

Randy ; I think that if you are going to consider a 2 cicle engine you might as well make it light, the original empty weight with 582 was 460lb. I look at the build (haven't started yet) with pretty ...

Has anyone built, or know of somebody that has installed the Rotax 582 right side up in the 701?.

Roger; the aircraft is the Zenair ch 701.There are pans for the engine mount for R582 upside down I agree with you but wanted to hear what's the general knowledge in the difference between both set up ...
