Dear Zenith mailers

  

 I am scratch building a 701 from plans in Darwin  Australia. I have finished the rear end and one wing and I am half way through  the second. 

  

 I having been thinking hard about which engine to  use. Seeing as I am in Australia I am leaning towards the Jabiru. I like  the extra power and the inherent smoothness a six cylinder would give so I am  thinking about the 3300. Has anyone fitted one of these engines in a 701 and if  so do you have any advice or performance figures, cruise, fuel consumption etc?  Does it have to much power for a 701?

  

 Any other thoughts on engine selection would be  appreciated.

  

 Yours Sincerely 

  

 Gordo.

Gordon,

I believe you'd be better served by finding a smaller engine to fit to 

your 701.  You'd get more climb and faster descent, but not much 

improved cruise.

There are several engines that wouldn't impose problems that go with the 

excessive horsepower. The stress on your firewall and mount don't have to be

that high. I'd advise you look just a bit longer at the problem.  It can 

be done, but I see the 3300 as a mismatch for the 701.

Respectfully,

You should also ask this question on the Jabiru engines  list at:

 Some 701 owners hang out there.
