Congratulations Bob, from Tom Jackson the guy who flew in with Bob McDonald on 9/7. That work you did is fantastic. You are truly an engineer. I'm glad to hear your maiden flight was a success. Tom

Thanks for the info.
Questions : why RPM limited to 4000 ? What is your reduction ratio on the redrive ?
Hi Robert,
No problem. I know your situation and did not expect a lighning fast answer ! Thanks for the infos. You too keep it up ! If I can, I will try to attend the fly-in.
Weather permitting and all.
I'll post some more pictures tonight.

My name is Norman Lambert. Remember me ? You came to visit a long time ago.
I was building behind my house in Laval.
I can see that you finished up your 701. Good for you !
As for me, I just finally started the engine last monday !
I currently fly a Cherokee 160 so i was in no rush to finish.
The bug hit me ! So I'm back at it.

Hi Robert, Were you thinking of doing an engine swap? I might be interested in the subie stuff, if you are. Thanks Charlie
Robert, did you do a mod on your wing, if so, I’d like to visit with you by phone, Ray Veatch
Hi Bob,
Got your message, will phone you up tonight - Monday October 21st.
Good news from the 701 without Slats... Just love it. You do need to install VGs if you want to take those Slats off !
Hope your 701 flies as good as mine.
Regards,
Norm

I' m curious to know how i'm doing as far as weigh is concerned...
Let me know.
As far as paperwork goes, what is involved there...I'm getting there too.
I really would like to know.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Norm
your 701 looks really good ! Are you using the subaru -psru you said you would ?
Let me know the details.
Mine has the subaru psru that you saw last time. Twin ignitions, nice stainless muffler and carburator.
What are you using ? What's your empty weight ? Keep me posted.
For the time being, I own a share on a Cherokee 160 but hope to switch to the 701 soon.
Regards,
Norm
