Probably will have better rersults with the Culver Props reduction...

No personal experience with this company, but have followed their articles in several magazines... I will love to have an ultralight with their V Twin engine...

I'll pipe in. a buddy has a GP2180 in a Quail, cantilevered high wing, (no struts) single place, aluminum construction. 110 mph cruise 3 gph. Take off roll 500 ft. He tried to talk me into one for my 701.
Consider power to weight (582 lots of power, little weight, ala Mr Heintz)
Then the 4 forces, thrust/drag and lift/weight.
The 701 would fly, sure, but it's not a float forever Cub, it's a high drag STOL. A guy might be satisfied with a 2180 / 701 if he was a bantam weight pilot and flew alone. But a 750/2180 would be self defeating in my opinion
