  • Just about ready to sell everything I own to buy an 801. Just awesome.

  • stol41 post some videos of your 701 with 2stroke engine, I have been looking for them but not been able to find 2 stroke 701's on youtube.

  • nice Michael, C ur birds at Natfly 2009

  • Thanks for your answer. As soon as I have more hours on my 701 (with Rotax 582), I will make some test flights with STOL measurements. For the time beeing, I keep the 582.

  • The early 701's used 65 and 80 hp (Rotax 582 and 912UL) with impressive results (though they we also lighter).

  • Sorry, I did not express me correctly. With "less power" I mean with a smaller engine. Instead of 100 HP say 65 and 80 HP. The very reason of my question is because some pilots think that the ideal engine for the CH 701 should be one between Rotax 582 and 912 (i.e. 65 and 80 HP). I still use the 582 but was thinking about the Hirth 3503E (70 HP with only 34 kg weight).

  • What's the point? If you're demonstrating STOL performance you might as well use full power.

  • It would be interesting to know the effect of less power on short take-off. Sure the run will be longer, but how much?

  • WOW!!!
