The large open slot in the side of the fuselage has always bothered me for some reason. I have seen details posted for a no- slot design which seems fairly easy. My question, is it worth the effort, and/or why more people have not done this?

Well said, it is what it is--- a great small stol plane. When you consider adding stuff to the plane, throw it (the stuff) up in the air---if it falls back down, it's to heavy.

Doug, The 701 gear may look supper strong, but don't think it can't be improved. I know of an instance, on a short field landing during a new pilot's check ride, that the nose gear collapsed on his new 701. The tube just bent back about 90-degrees just below the lower bearing. We looked very carefully and couldn't find anything wrong with the construction. Ever since then I try very hard to come down easy on the nose and don't mind looking at alternative gear.

Keep in mind that the nose wheel steering setup on a lot of the ultralight class pushers kind of makes the 701 strut look like the steering assembly for a Sherman tank. They really need better nose wheels. Just like a lot of the people that have responded so far, I spent the whole video thinking "that sure looks like a good way to shorten a propellor blade or two." I liked the tunes that were played during the video though.

Seems like a nice alternative to a pusher system but in really rough areas, I would guess it would dip too much and catch a prop tip on a 701. _____ The new Internet ExplorerR 8 - Faster, safer, easier.
