CH701 with BMW1200 motor?

I would like to know of other builders who have the CH701 with tried and tested BMW1200 engine conversions. I have a Thunderbird with a BMW1200RT motor on it and I found the performance fantastic. The gearbox and electronics were supplied by Takeoff_UL in Germany.
I am thinking of going this route with my CH701 but don't want to go through all the development excersizes again. It takes up too much flying time.

I have attached a picture of the BMW on my Thunderbird

I looked into it a few years ago, Raymond Henrie built one, you can fine him on the "motoair" yahoo group. I think he sold it? There I have a number of pics from different 701 using it. and from other airframes too. The only one that I found a contact to was a guy named Raould. If you like I could try to dig up his contact info. I know there are more because there are pics of them on the Zenith site.
