 |
|
Thanks to everyone who has provided information, and answered a number of my
questions. As of yesterday, I have one of the last 601XL kits on order.
Perhaps I don't fully understand, but I just couldn't see that the 650 had
sufficient additional features to justify the price difference. I'll also
admit I like the looks of the old canopy better than the new. That's a
personal taste thing, not a structural, weight, or performance issue.
I've settled on the O-200, which means I'll be scouring the market for an
engine. If anyone runs across one, I might be interested.

I waited until the last minute to order my canopy. I had taken a ride in Roger's 601 demo the last time I was in Mexico. The very first thing I noticed when Roger closed the canopy, my headset hit the canopy. This was extremely annoying the entire ride. After Oshkosh I'd seen the new CH650 and there was Todd's Canopy. I finally placed my order so hopefully, my fuselage kit will be ready for pickup, along with the new style canopy. If you've never taken a ride in a 601, I would seriously consider the new style canopy, especially if you have a long torso. I'm positive I've made the right choice and held off like I did.

That makes sense. If one may inquire, how tall are you?

How much was the new canopy?
What comes with it? Is there a new bulkhead and skin?
When I talked to Nick at OSH he said there'd be a 650 canopy kit for XL builders somewhere around $2,000 but I hadn't heard anything since.
I've been holding off on the canopy on my XL for the same reasons as you guys.
Thanks,
- Pat
