Subject: | VW with redrive on 701 |
Hello, new potential 701 builder here.
It's been a while since something close to this subject came up, so I'm starting
a new thread.
My budget will not support a 912 or Jabiru, and I don't want to scratch-build,
so I am zeroing in on the Great Plains VW with redrive (180lbs installed), possibly
with the Nikasil jugs. To keep things light (and to save $$), I think I'd
rather stick with the 701 and bubble doors than go to the 750. Is it realistic
to expect to fly this combination on floats? My S.O. and I total around 350
lbs ready to fly.
I can get an engine mount from GP, but I am drawing a blank for a suitable cowl.
Valley Engineering (who makes the redrive for GP) no longer offers a cowl kit.
The 912 cowls will not fit. Aircraft Spruce does not have any nose bowls that
come close enough. Any suggestions? I don't mind a little customization, but
I don't want to build one from scratch.
I also cannot find a source for a suitable muffler.
My backyard shop is ready and I have funding, but I am not going to order anything
until I have all the ducks in a row.
Thanks for any advice!
Martin
