Hi,



I'm building a CH701 and have WW conversion manual, so I'm eagerly waiting for WWs 701 Corvair project results... but I'm still keeping my eyes open for other possible fits for the 701. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say(with explanations) about the Raven 1300 cc Suzuki engine combo?

Hi Kevin,



I have a Raven svs1300 redrive Suzuki engine in my CH701. Although I have taxied it, it has not flown. My flight papers should arrive in a couple of days (finally). My first flight will be this weekend. About all that I can tell you now is that it is very smooth running on those engine mounts and with the belt redrive.

Ray,



Can you give us an idea of how LOUD that Suzuki/Raven is as a combination? 

Can you sit in the cockpit without headphones?  Do headphones do a good job of making things quiet and comfortable?



Thanks,



Mike

Sorry Mike, never flown that engine personally. It would of course depend on what plane too.

  

    As for me, I would not pilot any plane without my headphones.  I just like things a quiet as possible and I like in-flight music.

Ray,



Does Raven supply the motor mount for the 701 or did you have to fabricate you own?  What cowl are you using?
