| Subject: | Re: VW with redrive on 701 |
I had the same problem looking for a cowl that would work. Never did find one,
so I made my own. I never did get one that looked good.
I also had some issues with the re-drive system. Took the whole shooting match
out and installed a Honda/Viking engine and cowl. Much better setup if you ask
me.
Make a reasonable offer and you can have the whole FF plus whatever else I have
for a VW.

Hi Martin,
You might also look at the Geo Metro with re-drive from Raven. It's got a
lot going for it too. Very economical
and it's sized right for a 701 application.

Subject: Zenith701801-List: 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
