I'm flying my CH-701 with a 912UL 80hp. It flys great on wheels but I would not
want to put it on floats. I'm thinking of getting the bullyhawk kit and turning
my 80 into a 914. Then I would be good on floats.
Incidentally, I paid $9300.00 for my engine that only had 13hrs on it. It was
off of a wrecked 701 but came with exhaust with cabin heat shroud, rad, oil
cooler, oil tank,a cowl, parts of the motor mount, a basic instrument panel and
the prop hub. The engine had had a prop strike but under the circumstances, I
believed it would be okay. The engine was running on a test stand before I took
it home. I performed all of the required prop strike inspections on the engine
and it was as good as new. The biggest repair I had to make to the engine was
the repair of the mounting tabs on the ignition modules.
Basically, I recommend you look around. If you would be happy with the 80hp,
there are some pretty good deals to be had out there.

Hi Fritz,
Thanks for your thoughts about a 60hp 701.If push comes to shove I can trade my
60 in
on a 80 hp turbo. 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?

Frank --- I had a Rotax 65 hp (2 cycle) and I would not have wanted anything
less. 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.
Happy Building,
Fritz

The NSI EA81 is a Subaru conversion. I think Stratus 2000 is the only major
Subaru converter left. Right power range, but heavy. The larger VW
conversion with belt reduction from Great Plains should meet the power
requirements and is the lowest-cost option (assy required). If you don't
mind going away from boxers, look into the Geo conversions (Raven and
AirTrikes). The auto conversions (1/3 to 1/2 of the initial cost of a
912) will be much cheaper to overhaul, but resale value will be lower than
Rotax or Jabiru.

The NSI unit I am selling includes the mount and a three blade ground
adjustable prop. Support is provided by one of the other subaru converters I
cannot remember which one, sorry.

In most cases true but; I have a friend that bought one of the early Jab
3300 and he was not a happy camper.
