Hi Urs

Sounds like you are doing a lot of moving.  As I recall that involves a lot of work. 

I did a search on autopilot for 701 and found you asked about it awhile back.  I live in Oregon and have a flying 701 with Skyview.  I am considering hooking up the servos.  How did that for you and where did you put them.

Hi Urs

Putting it in a container is one thing. How about the import in the US and permits to fly it?

consider living in the Allentown area and commuting to NY.

Hi David, the plane is Urs video belongs to my brother. When purchased it was mine and my brothers. But I had him buy me out so I could buy my 701.

The engine is an O-200 with light weight everything. Our battery is in the tail as is our ELT. So the ballance is spot on. The performance is as good if not better than the two other 701s I have flown which both have Rotex 912 uls.

The fuel system is graverty fed. No manual or elecric fuel pump.

If you are planning on running an engine less than 100 hp in your 701, then don't expect your aircraft to performe like the numbers listed from the Zenith web site. You will need a 1,000 runway with anything less than 100hp. I am taking off over gross weight on a 800 foot strip with power lines at both ends and the Continental O-200 performs very well there. Even on 102 degree days. We are at 120 foot elevation.

I have been able to take off in this aircraft with just myself and about a 15kts wind in less than 50 feet.
