| Subject: | Raven/Suzuki 1300 90 HP Conversion |
Is anyone out there flying the Raven/Suzuki 1300 90 HP engine conversion in a 701?
If so, how does it perform (climb rate, cruise, etc.).
I read an article and it mentioned a fellow named Tom Mills who thought that the
1300 felt like 70 HP. I wonder if it was a reduction drive. Does anyone know
about this one?
Any input would be greatly appreciated :D
Mike

Mike, I'm not absolutely sure about this but I think there was a Tom Mills in Southern
Ontario that did extensive flight training in a 701 with Suzuki engines.
A year or two ago (I think this was it) he got a "to good to pass up" deal
on a 912 and switched over.
Mark Townsend might have more details as they are located fairly close together.
Also, I have no idea if this is the Tom Mills you are refering too.
Hope this helps

Isn't this the same engine as the Geo Metro 1.3L?
If it is, then search matronics Zenith list for the Purple Dragon
Rick I think is flying behind one. www.n701RR.com is his website.

Hi Mike,
You might look at Rick Roberts 701 as it's powered by the Suzuki 1300
and it's a nice setup
check the link below.

Hi Larry,
How did you attach the custom flanging jaws to the vice grips?

I appreciate your responses.
I took a look at Rick Robert's website and only find a Cessna 140 featured. I
could not find anything about his 701.
I had seen photos of his aircraft before. It is a very nice example of quality
construction. Great paint job also.
I would love to get some more information about this aircraft.
Mike

Rick,
I cut the vise grips and added the blocks by welding them "in place so
to speak" with the jaws closed.

Ricks site sort of changed from Raven G13 CH701 to Cessna 140 over night.
Not sure what is up? Rick are you out there?
I was thinking of this engine but Ricks sudden silence as of late has pretty much
put me off of this engine. Sure would like to hear from you Rick.

Kevin, If I remember correctly, Rick sold his 701 very shortly after his first
flight and went in partners with someone on the 140. Of course, my memory could
be wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

Kevin,
Rick responded to a PM this evening. He spoke positively about the engine (not so much about the IVO prop). He liked the Raven Re-drive also. He said that the plane "flew great". No performance specs though. I especially like his aircraft because of the look of the cowling he used. Apparently he used a VW Rabbit radiator that sits back under the engine "similar to what the Subaru guys use". He referred me to Larry McFarland's site, http://www.macsmachine.com/ . Larry built an HD but the site shows some good shots of the radiator set up.
Personally I'm feeling pretty good about the combination at this point. Of coarse
I'm going to do some more research. I spoke to the owner at Raven today.
After the Holidays he is going to refer me to some builders that have used the
1300 with his re-drive. He is quite busy now due to a time sensitive remodel
(I believe at his shop) so I am going to leave him alone until then.
It is certainly not a 100 HP 912, but I would think it would perform at least as
well as the 80 HP version. And you cannot beat the price tag.

Here is a link to a photo showing the radiator mounted to the underside of the
floor pan on Rick's 701.
http://www.zenithair.com/stolch701/pic07/final2.jpg
I have looked at it a number of times, but did not notice the air intake until
seeing the set up on Larry's website. Probably a bit "draggy" but with the 701,
I won't be looking to break any speed records anyway. Just have some fun.
