Hi Dave,
I have a Jab 2200 at about 140 pounds in my 701 for a dry weight of
570#. My 701 is very simple and before the SP version.- Getting a dry
weight of 600# with longer wings (not much weight there) and an A80
may be hard.

Ok 701ers,
Who has modified the rudder pedals so that your - read my - size 11
clod-hoppers don't interfere with the brakes when taking off or touching
down.
Its not a non starter, but I find that it is very easy to get a "little"
brake action while moving the pedals on takeoff and after landing if I am
not super careful. Basically, I have to consciously move the heels of my
shoes back so that only my tippy toes are on the rudder pedal bars. This
works better in the summer while wearing tennies but suffers in the winter
while wearing boots.
Thought about adjusting the brake part of the pedal arm fwd a little by
adjusting the clevis on the brake cylinder but not sure that this is
do-able. Right now my geometry is brake pedal aligned with the rudder pedal
ie straight up and down.
Also thought about making some sort of piece that would go on the "rudder
bar" part of the pedal to act as a spacer but this would shorten up an
already short leg room dimension.
Don't want to get into a major rebuild here just tossing it out for your
astute suggestions or a link to a previous discussion.
ttfn
Still grinnin!!

Hi Phil,
I had the same problem, and I solved it by changing my shoes. I got some "sock
slippers" from LL Bean, and now can feel the rudder pedals and the brake with
no problem.
They are wool socks with thin leather soles. I wear them all the time now..........Fred

Phil, when I set up my brakes I had to run the clevis on the top of the bra
ke cyl down a fair bit to get comfortable geometry.- I then had to buzz t
he end of the threaded shaft off so there was no interference between the t
hreaded shaft and the mounting bolt.- Seem to remember it was fairly easy
.- I have size 10.5 feet and almost always wear steel toe safety boots an
d have no issues with bumping the brakes.=0A-=0AHope this is helpful=0A
