I have noticed that the USA zenair site, makes no explicit approval of the the JAB3300.
Yet, on the CAN-ZEN site, they explicitly say that the JAB3300 is a suggested engine for the 701.
Anybody have any ideas? I know that two different brothers are running two different companys, and certainly Canadians are comfy with the K-ROO engine.
It really seems that the USA zen site is steering people towards Rotax for the 701, but JAB in Canada.
Is the ZEN-CAN QB 701 a little stronger up front for the slightly higher HP? I don't really feel that the JAB3300 is that powerful, you have to be running at 3300rpm to get 120HP, the 2900 (at) 100HP is more realistic.
My question is that the USA vs CAN ZEN sites seem to be talking about two different 701's. Anybody know the straight story??
I'm seeing MORE&MORE JAB3300's on 701's, it seems to be the best bang for the buck.
At this point I'm assuming that both 701's are the same (us&can), I know Chris Heintz speaks highly of the JAB from his oshkosh talks, so you know its got his seal-of-approval.
