Joe, never been run. would be good to go through it yourself to be comfortable with build, or Great Planes will do it for you and run it in for a fee. let me know if you have any other questions.
thanks
Mark
Hi Mark,
I'm interested, but I wondered why this was not used on the 701 it was intended for, and what was used instead?
Thanks,
Steve
Hi mark I am consedering using a VW on My 701 have did you decide against using this on your 701 if so Why? Mike
Hi Mike,

I'm Steve and I just got home with the "new to me" VW stuff. In case Mark doesn't see your post I thought I'd offer what I know from talking with him about the VW parts. As I understand it, while in tne final stages of completion he offered the 701 with VW FWF mostly installed for sale to facilitate a move from CA to UT. The purchaser only wanted the airframe so Mark took the FWF to UT with him and sold it there. I don't think he sold it because he thought it wouldn't work though, he just didn't get to try it. I'm a little like Mark in that I offered my nearly completed 701 for sale several years ago and was only successful in selling the 0-200 engine and Warp Drive prop. After deciding to finish the aircraft a few months ago I was planning to use a Corvair conversion until I saw Marks ad and decided to go VW. I still have a lot of Corvair parts and will probably continue to work on it after I get the 701 flying, especially if the VW doesn't do what I want it to.

If I didn't already have a 701 I would probably go with the 750 because I think it is better designed to handle the heavier powerplants (Corvair, 0-200, etc.).

Good luck with your project.

Steve
