First of all I want to thank everyone that responded to my query concerning a
tractor . I was quite surprised by the number of off list responses.All of
them very helpful in assisting me in making an informed purchase.
IT is,no doubt, a big, big stretch to conclude that a tractor that is used
to pull and power a mower that cuts the grass that grows on a runway that is
used by a 601HD as a taxi, take-off and landing area, could remotely be
considered aviation related.
You know I just took a shot and was rewarded with a lot of useful information
being sent to me. It is appreciated.
I apologise to anyone that found themselves and their sensibilities offended
by my request for tractor comments.

I am building a 701 and installing a 912s engine. I am looking for opinions comparing
the Woodcomp Klassic propeller to the Warp. The Warp would cost me about
$250.00 more.then the Woodcomp. What would you do?

I haven't landed on turf with my 601HDS TD but other planes I flew usually
stopped OK on turf as long as it was dry. Practice landing out of a forward
slip. I'd class the 601 as a moderate slipper. I got my kit in 92 and the
brakes are a joke. If you don't mind a firm arrival, its easy to land tail
wheel first. Keep your tail down on the ground.

Wheel land or pop the tail up after touchdown and carry it up til it
settles in at about 25 mph. You will need a little more room with a
passenger...more momentum... use your brakes. It looks like you have 2200
feet to work with if you need to...if the 600 on each end is okay for roll
out. I think you can do it if you are okay with making precision landings
every time you have to come in over the trees and don't mind using the
brakes. don walker-- Original Message -----

I'd go for the in-flight adjustable to get max performance. The 2 blade
Woodcomp really makes a big improvement on my 912UL 601 HDS compared to the
3 blade GSC from the kit. You can get comparable climb with the ground
adjustable but then you can't get over 100 mph cruise. Likewise you would
need 5000 ft of runway to get off the ground to get 130 mph cruise.

Okay, follows.....I've been chastized. You are all invited over for supper.
I'm having crow. Feathers and all.
Then we'll take turns mowing the runway.
Lighten up, it's only a hobby.
By the way, does anyone know of a firm selling widgets with left-hand threads?
Pleasantries to all,

I have a friend, believe it or not, who wants to build a 701. He wants to use
a Subaru EA-81. He wants everything as a package, re-drive, engine, mount, radiator,
etc. Does anyone know a source he can go to. I thought Stratus did it,
but their site only talks 601.

Jan Eggenfellner does an awesome job of putting together a package. There
are hundreds of his FWF units flying, mostly in RV's. I'm going to put one in my
801. There is also a Yahoo list devoted to his engines.

Here's a subaru package that would save a bundle. I know nothing about it
other than what info is given on Ebay. The engine mount would have to be
changed, but Jan would probably work with someone due to the large demand for RV
mounts in the RV FWF packages. You'd have to ask him though.

Hi Robert,
I mounted my pitot tube to an inspection cover which I placed just in front
of the main strut attach bracket. This gives me access to the strut attach
bolts for inspection, and also allows replacement of the plastic tubing to
the pitot tube. I'll rivet it on with A4s. I'm not in the air yet, and
don't know how it will work.

The manual calls out 70mm downstream from the exhaust flange. I used the
back cylinders for mine. I haven't found a need for EGT's yet but it is
comforting to look at. Just got back after almost two hours of night touch and
go's
with my son. Great fun!

It is my understanding the Warp drive is better if you want to fly in rain
or off water. I have been happy with mine.
How much does the in-flight adjustable Woodcomp cost? Has anyone tried it in
the 701?
