Mike.
I've seen one and read about a couple more. Generally I was left with the
idea that the engine is a bit heavy for the power and does not exploit all
the potential performance of the 701. Have no personal experience.

A 701 in Placerville, CA has one. He says he wouldn't do it again. To
heavy for the power, but it was cheep to buy and rebuild. His son is an
A&P.

Flew one that was at our local field to get a feel for the plane before I
launched my freshly built 701 / 912ULS. It was the first one I ever flew and
I had a CFI with me. The two of us and 5 gal. of fuel had us over gross
(950). The performance was marginal at best and dreadful if you compare it
to a 701SP with 100 hp Rotax and it had to be hand propped. Not a combo I
would recommend.

So:
950-30(gas)-185(slightly,large FAA Guy)- 185 (another slightly large FAA guy) = 550 empty with oil? And this from an engine that pulls around a J3, that's interesting, I'm not criticizing here just amazed.

This makes me wonder about the differences between a J-3 and the 701.
They have different airfoils, builds, ect... but both were designed around similar HP.
Does anyone know what the coeffiecient of drag is for the J-3 and for the 701?
And between that what the difference in induced drag is? I would expect the wing loadings to be pretty similar.

Makes me wonder what a 582 would do on a j3.
