    Hi Jim,
    This is a CH701 behind that EA-81 and associated plumbing.
    Flies real nice with plenty of power...

    Hi Jim,
    No I didnt, but I moved the battery as far back as I could.
    Still balanced pretty good. Remember, any weight you add is behind the CG so no problem with balancing...
    Pilot, copilot, luggage all are behind the CG so they all help balance out the engine and stuff...
    Regards,

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for your comments. It is a very good engine, lots of power,quiet and economic. Look at RAM Performance engine website, they do EA-81 like nobody else. If I had to do it over, I would buy their engine/conversion and drop it in my CH701.
    They also sell parts and can do work on your engine...
    Just a tought.
    In any event, if you have questions, don't hesitate.
    Regards,
    Norm
