I've only built the rudder so far, and it's the same rudder as the 701. I have
the tail kit, but haven't started on it yet. Trying to get electricity out to
my workshop.

I asked Roger when I was at the workshop. He said it was a piece of cake to just
do it later.

I'm going with the Jabiru 3300. It's about 40 pounds lighter than the O-200, and
it's six cylinders.

I like the Jabiru 3300 engine too, especially for the light weight, and
simplicity of the design. The issue with these engines that I don't like
however, is the fact that there has been a lot of issues with the engine in
keeping the cylinder head temperatures low and in the green during normal
operations. This problem is compounded with installations in slower and
draggy aircraft Also, since these engines develop their rated 120 HP at an
inefficient propeller speed of 3300 RPM, there is a need to run a shorter
prop than that those used in many of other popular engine choices. Short
props on float equipped aircraft don't work nearly as well as longer props.
Long and slower turning propellers are more efficient and create much more
thrust at slow speeds than faster turning short props, and thus pull a float
equipped airplane out of the water a lot quicker. A good example of this in
the certified aircraft word is the popular propeller upgrade on many float
equipped Cessna 180s' in Alaska and Canada, where thy change out the
standard 82 inch diameter McCauley CS props for the 88 inch diameter "sea
plane" propellers. Just some food for thought.
Cheers!
Stan

Maybe you should look into the Corvair?
A bit more grunt and no cooling issues.
been flying for nearly 45 years.
and you can build two really nice Corvairs with all the bells and whistles for
what a Jabiru costs.
Just food for thought?

I agree! That is my plan of attack. Check-out Bill Clapps web page http:/
/www.billclapp.com/-go to his corvair section. He will build you a comple
te ready to go with 1 hour of breakin in time for around 7K with video read
y to drop in!... I believe he will even cut costs more if you exchange a co
vair engine with him. Give him a call and tell him I sent you. It is worth
a call and he is a wealth of information.

Ken,
Thanks, but I build my own engines.
Have a look around my website.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Remember:
A High quality engine will not be cheap.
and conversely
A cheap engine will not be High quality.
