Thanks everyone, I saw a 701 for the first time yesterday and wow, is it low to the ground. The underside of the wing just comes to the top of my shoulder. I had an impression it was a bit taller. I see a version on the zenith web site where the landing gear had been lengthened which looks much better and is far less scary for off field landings. Here in Alaska there are lots of nice long relatively smooth places to land but that prop is too close to the ground for comfort.
Looking at the 3/4 Storch replicas now.

I will keep the CH 701. wings hands off
I have only about 25 hrs flying my 701 and realy happy with it 87 MPH cruise indicated (at) 5,100 rpm Warp Drive
Practicing to land it short, a step at a time so I dont brake it 
I will also like to see some first hand facts about the Pegastol... only read and heard "someone told me in a flyin" facts of the Pegstol wing, sorry. Nothing against or in favor from my side.

Any real world numbers of performance between the two wings?
