Hi,
I'm new to this list. I fly a kolb firestar 2 with a HKS engine, a
great little airplane but I keep
thinking about building a 701. Has anyone used the 60 hp HKS in a 701?
If anyone has done this I would like to contact them, or receive any
info they would be willing
to share.

THANKS

One 701 has been fitted with the HKS in NZ but the builder told me it was a "waste of time" and it was not flown with this engine. A Corvair was fitted and then changed out for a Jabiru 2200 as the Corvair performed brilliantly but couldnt carry any payload or fuel. This was on a 960 lbs model, I understand.

The protototype CH701 (1986) had a gross wt 880 lbs and flew on a Rotax 503 of 52 hp. Used to be advised as suitable for engines 45 hp to 85 hp and weight 90 to 130 lb.
