| Subject: | Re: My plans for the new 750 |
Hi Bob,
My statement, err opinion, was based on what I "heard on the grapevine" that the
750 would spec out at 800+ lbs.
I would certainly like to have chosen the 750 when I started this second 701, but
who knows, maybe next?
Anyway, I'm hoping to come in at $25k with the second one with a Rotax 912ULS .
We'll see. So far, I've got $21K invested and have to buy a mount, cowl, and
a radio....
I have about 500.00 in my current plane's paint job and am hoping to beat that
on the next....

Hi Tommy,
I most certainly did not want my previous remark to sound confrontational or disrespectful,
but I had just been informed of the exact weight, and wanted to make
you aware of the fact. :o)
As for the build, the main reason I am migrating towards a 750, ( I will definitely
be building both planes ) is because of the engine issue. Everyone agrees
that to get the best performance with the 701, the engine of choice should be
a Rotax. Sadly here in Canada, a 100 HP Rotax, cost's no less then 19,000$.
Then ad to that the FWF package for another 5,000$ and it get's to be an expensive
build.
Also one must not forget to include the GST, and PST , for another 15% for a total
of 27,600$ for the engine package itself, and we have yet to build an airplane.
I figure that the 750 will end up costing me about 40% of the cost to build
a 701.
A Lycoming or Continental that can be used in the new 750, can be found locally
for anywhere between 5,000$ to 7,500$, so it will certainly make the aircraft
project more affordable.
As a bonus, I am also blessed with the following,
* I do away with the dry sump, and get an engine with a real "no fuss" oil pan.
* With the an air cooled engine, we can also do away with the radiator, the antifreeze,
along with all the assorted hoses,
* An easy to maintain, low revving, real aircraft engine.
* A single, easy to adjust carb
* etc, etc, etc.
Just a few things that made my choice easier..
Regards
Bob

"Everyone agrees that to get the best performance with the 701, the engine of choice
should be a Rotax." I believe only Rotax owners agree with that. Lots of
VW, Subaru, Suzuki, Honda, etc owners could disagree. More homework might be
in order unless you have a bottomless pocket book. Larry, N1345L

Maybe not an issue for most but the 750 would not fit into my shop
(hanger). I only have an 18' door and have to snake my 701 in on
dollies to get it to fit. The 750 is just that much bigger that it
wouldn't go.

Bob,
You can be sure that I did not take your remark as that. I try to be a good student
since I was a public school teacher/administrator for 28 years.
However, I do LIKE the Rotax. I like it's performance. I like it's reliability.
I do NOT LIKE the price. But I realize everyone thinks their engine choice
is the best.
Definitely Do Not Archive....
