I personally have removed the slats from my 701 and would rather fly without them
for at least two reasons.
#1 it is easier to land.
#2 it is easier to take off.
I have VG's from John Gilpin. If you order from him you will receive them with
full instructions for proper installation.
In the air you will not notice any difference, increase in speed, not enough to
talk about.
One more thing, With slats you will command lots of attention and get lots of questions.
Without them nothing special so no questions or curiosity about the
plane. In other words slats are a great attention generator and I believe a great
sales tool. Mine are sitting on a shelf and will include them someday when
I sell my 701.

I too had the same problem of riding the brakes. I solved it by adding to the rudder
bar as you mentioned and it works very well. I don't have long legs so the
shortened distance is not a problem for me. I suspect that Zenith kept the
rudder pedals short because they had a header tank so couldn't make them longer
to get more leverage at that time. My thinking is they just didn't change for
whatever reason (maybe they had a bunch made up, didn't want to change the plans)
when they removed the header tank.

Ron, at one time the 701had a problem with breaking rudder pedals so that is likely
why they were not extended. The problem was fixed with heavier walled tubing
but they probably kept the length short to limit stresses.
As I said originally, a little off the length of the master cyl pushrod and the
brake T lays back quite nicely. No need for a major redesign.
