Hi guys

I have a friend who is looking at buying a scratch built ch-701..

This aircraft has a A65 Continental engine rated at 65 hp and engine is 74 

years old.

The engine dry weights 175 lbs so it would be beyond the maximum engine 

weight

allowed for the 701.. with prop , oil, exhaust, mount, etc it would be well 

over the

maximum engine weight for the 701 recommended..Also the engine has to be 

hand

propped as it has no electric start..The aircraft does not fall in the 

ultralight category

for Canada so is under the homebuilt experimental category..Cruise on this 

engine is 2150

rpm and redline is 2300..   The 65 hp engine does not seem to be much power 

for a ch701

Am I missing something here..I would appreciate and thoughts or suggestions 

on this

aircraft..Also what would be the minimum HP required and suggested for this 

aircraft.

AJR
