No direct experience with the 701 cover but I have one for the 601XL. Good features and quality but heavy. QSP sells them but I don't know if they have ever held one in their hands. You might ping Doug Dugger. For a 701 cover Bruce's may be the only game in town. Aviation Consumer just did a general review and liked them. -- Craig From: owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of John Marzulli Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 10:33 AM Subject: Zenith701801-List: Feedback On Bruce's Custom Covers?

I have a two-blade, 70" and the directions to shorten it were either included with it or available on their website. It's a delicate procedure, but it can be done. Just sayin'.
