I think that includes a 65hp 582. I did once fly in the original (960lbs) that had a 532, and it had plenty of power for the mission but would be short on longevity - I have already owned 2 aircraft with 503 and wouldnt wish to go back to the constant fixes and overhauls. I put together my 701 in 2004 and used the 2200 Jabiru. Had a leak on 2 valveseats at 310 hrs which was relatively minor. Thats still longer than the crank of a 582 is supposed to last. It is very suitable for the 701 although I have to stow everything up front to keep off the aft CG limit, which is good because it allows full fuel (85 litres) plus two medium size crew and a couple of toothbrushes to be carried. Like any aircraft, once over the design weights, handling and margins rapidly deteriorate, remembering the wing area probably hasnt changed from the 880 lbs original with a 503 Ralph -------- Ralph - CH701 / 2200a Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=306870#306870 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith701801-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith701801-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith701801-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith701801-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
