Just wondering if anyone has any instructions or photos as to what would need to
be done to lower the seat pan about 1 inch. I'm 6'2" and should be ok for head
room but thought if it's not much extra work would go ahead and do it. I know
electric flaps are one of the requirements and was already planning to install
them.
Thanks in advance.

Just a thought Dennis=2C but as I recall there isn't too much clearance bet
ween the flaperon control rod and seat so if you lower yours I suspect ther
e may be interference.

Dennis,
Get in touch with Doug at Quality Sport Planes in CA. They modified a 701 f
or Michael Heintz since he is also a tall guy. Doug should be able to let y
ou know what they did, and how they did it.

Thanks Keith, I just talked to Doug. He said it's very simple, just fit the seat
pan as normal and before doing the final riveting cut the pan from side to side
down the middle. Spread the pan and add a filler piece then rivet with A4
rivets. He said it should lower you about 1.5 inches.

I've spoken with Mr. Wood in Colorado who installed a 914 in his 701 about
10 years ago, and who has about 900 hours on it. He is very, very happy.
His reason for going to the 914 was that his strip is at 5000 ft and he needs
13000 ft just to clear the terrain in certain directions. He loves his 914 and
would do it again in an instant.
He also told me that there was no more than a 10 pound weight penalty in
going from the 912ULS to the 914, and that the 914 has been a beautiful,
reliable, trouble-free engine.
I'm wondering if there's anybody else out there with a 914/701 installation,
and if so, their comments.
Thanks,
Ken Ryan
