Hi;I'm new in this forum and need help with some info.I want to scratch built the 701 but the original 460 empty weight.The reason is to power it with the 582.I have been away from aviation for 14years,recently I ordered the info from zenith and noticed the increase in weight.What hapened ? Any structural problems? Or just a response to market pressure ?.Anybody knows about the ulm version?. I weight 126 and at 42 I don't think I gona get any heavier .I made all questions via e-mail to factory but so far no responce (4 days). Will like to hear from old model builders thx.

There is about 24 changes in the 701SP version over the older 960 gross
version. However I am converting a older 701 (serial 1400 something) now
and I can tell you that I have found several hundred changes from the
old plane to the new one. Parts added and almost all parts changed in
thickness.
I would personally order a new kit and register it at 960 gross with the
582. The 701SP version will fly just as nice on the 582 as the older
version. Plus with all the advances in the kit it will be a whole lot
easier to build.
Personally I would never convert an older 701 to a 701SP version again.
I believe it would be faster to make a new one then to re-build an older
version.

Mark; I had to get off line to recharge batt, my intention is to scratch build a 701,not modify a existing one .My aim is to build the lightest one possible and if the changes have nothing to do with structural problems over the years then I will look for the original. Any info on the ULM? THX.
