There are several Jab 2200 flying with 64 inch diameter props and some are
using 60 and 62 as well on 701's, Avid Flyers and Kitfoxes. My 64 " x 26"
pitch prop may be a bit too large and a 62x 34 might be better. I have good
ground clearance for sure.

I forgot to mention that the Jabs are both limited I believe, to a 60 inch
prop.
I believe it is a crank limitation due to mass for their limit, I could be
wrong its just something I think that I remember. There is more to prop
thrust
then length but it is a prime component. Some place on the Zenith site
they mention
the need to swing a 70 or 72 inch prop for good STOL performance.

I don't think that most of us need anywhere near the STOL performance on take off, or landing for that matter, that the 701 is capable of. And that extra ground clearance is a good trade off for something that we don't need. Not to mention the added simplicity of no redrive and air cooling! Plus the 2200 is a lot less expensive then a Rotax !
