Thanks for the responses about the 960 pound gross  weight.

 I am looking at a 701 that is for sale. I am told  that it is a 1986 kit that was finished in 1991. I think that 1986 was the first  year that the 701 kits were made, so I have been wondering about how it will  compare to the newer kits.

  I am going tomorrow to see it up close.  

 Regards,

 Damien

Hi Damien,



I am currently rebuilding an early 701 airframe, the plans are dated Feb-86, with a gross weight if 880-LBS. I am rebuilding it to the 1100-LB drawings and there are many many differences. Not only the “SP” parts that differentiate the 960-LB version from the 1100-LB model, but many parts that are on the 1100-LB model do not exist on the 880LB model. The one I’m rebuilding flew for a long time and was even upgraded from a 2-cycle Rotax to the 80HP 912 engine. It’s being rebuilt because it was crashed, not because it had any airworthiness problems. The early ones are a lighter version but still a very good airplane.
