It was built in 1985 and flown for the first time in spring 2000, the plane sat in a hangar for four or five years. This is number 7 of a total of 12 twins built. They also built a greater number of single place which were the same plane with a single engine same as the two on this one. Dick had a single years ago but put a 277 Rotax on it. The engines on the twin are PUL425 engines built in France by JPX and each produces around 22 hp. They have not built any of these since around 1985 and Chris Heintz no longer owns the design. Top cruise speed is around 40-45 mph. " do not archive --- Brad Johnston wrote: > --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Brad Johnston" > > > Cute.

Lubing it will prevent corrosion though. If it were such a no-no then Corrosion-X wouldn't be allow to be sprayed all over the insides of wings & fuselages.

Probably easier to get at and farther from the Xponder stub. It shouldn't matter if you're off center down there though, but I'd stay clear of the other antenna.

Just a quick heads-up for anyone currently working on their 701 rotax 912 installation... It appears as though ZAC posted some more updates to the 701 photo assembly guides today (08/07/03).

I was just installing the cowl for my 701 and checked these new updates. They are now installing the cowl on the OUTSIDE of the fuse skin rather than underneath... and... they now show a cutout for the oil cooler below the bottom of the lower cowl. AMAZING how they change these things so often... Also, noticed there are no more formed radiator hoses to be used .. all silicon straight hoses only!

Let me know if you need an engine with the normal starter. It works fine and you will not need any mount modification. Regards, CHIP Chip W. Erwin CZECH AIRCRAFT WORKS, S.R.O.
