Check with Pete of Jab USA ( http://www.usjabiru.com/ ). I was in
Shelbyville, Tn last Sat for an EAA breakfast and Pete was flying (2nd
flight) a really nice looking 701 with a Jab 2200. Sure did sound neat. I
believe it may have Jab USA (modified?/ improved?) cowling for better
cooling. Although it was a hot day, Pete said there was no problem with
CHTs.

Hi Tracy:
I made my first flight with the 701/2200a on August 20. I have a 550 foot
grass strip in my back yard. It was off of the ground in about 65 feet and
flying. I am climbing out at between 30 and 35 MPH at 500 FPM. As soon as
I drop the nose and let the speed increase to between 40 and 45 the climb
goes up to about 650 FPM. I can reach 1000 AGL or even more in less than 2
minutes after takeoff. Level flight at 2700 RPM I am showing about 75 MPH
air speed. Checked it with the GPS yesterday and was showing a ground speed
of 82 MPH. May have had a slight tail wind at altitude, but was showing
calm at the ground.
You can see pictures of that first takeoff at:

For my kind of low and slow flying, where a big cross country flight for me
may be 50 miles, I think the 2200a is just exactly what I needed.
My prop is a wood Sensenich W62HJ-36

Tracy,
as above posting I break ground quickly and lower the nose for best climbout, around 500 fpm is usual with my new prop.
The original Jab 60x38 prop was not very good, now have a custom 64x30 wood prop that allows full rpm in level flight and 3200 climbing. These are locally made in NZ and as far as I can tell would be equivalent to a Sensenich wood which would have been my next choice. The actual reason for me dropping the stock prop was blade pitch and track was out of limits by 200 hrs, besides the performance was unsatisfactory with only 3050 rpm in a dive!
