I haven't decided what engine to use , thought about trying my 60 hp HKS--don't know what a NSI EA engine is. How does your 3300 work out? Too heavy?? too strong?? Lots of changes to the airframe???

The engine is dyno run only. The unit is at Meadowlake Airport near Colorado Springs. Any offers.

And. my 701 was a much earlier and lighter model. Please don't handicap yourself by under powering this great little airplane. I would think the "today's 701 would want more than the 65 hp I had. ( and it was a fairly light engine). I say no on the 60 hp question.

Almost anything is better than the $20,000 plus for a rotax. Is there anyone out there with 80 hp and is happy with it?
