Where in New Brunswick?? What airport??
I am in NS and would really like to see your 701 sometime. Especially that wing!!
What HP does the Suzuki put out...would it be good for a 601XL.
Good luck with your flying....and yup....the weather is going to be no good for flying for a while

C-GJRL finally flew yesterday. It has in-flight adjustable prop. I had done a crow hop on Sunday with the prop at min pitch and flaps up. That required full back stick to flare with no margin. The min pitch was way too fine… the engine was not being loaded at all and the plane barely hauled itself off the ground.
For the flight yesterday, I set the pitch to midway and took off with half flaps (nominally 15 degrees). That was a much better setting. It climbed well.
I was pleased with the lightness of the controls and their balance. Used half flaps for landing as recommend for the Pegastol wing. The landing was easily controllable with plenty of stick margin on the flare.
The aircraft trimmed way too nose down even with max aft trim. It is true that I was near the forward C of G and the forward limit for the Pegastol is set at 10% of Mean Aerodynamic Chord as opposed the standard 701 which is a 20%.
Regardless I will be doing the elevator edge bend removal that others have found useful in these situations.
I am waiting for better weather to fly again. I am in New Brunswick, Canada which had freezing rain today and snow flurries forecast for tomorrow. Sigh.

Sure, Ron. Fredericton airport.
I am using the Raven Redrives package for the engine. They claim 90 hp.
Can;t conform that yet but the first thing I did notice about the the engine/mount package when I fired it up was that it runs very smoothly with little vibraiton.
I think most people are putting more hp in their 601s. Raven has a turbo version of the 1300 that puts out 115 hp. I see from their website that they have a mounting package for the 601 as well http://www.raven-rotor.com/

RE: 90hp
I just found this Dyno curve last night for the G13B. It is of a stock 1.3l GTI/GT injected but not turbo-ed engine. I don't know what Raven does to the engine, if anything, but stock for stock it appears to compare very nicely with the 912S for a lot less!
