    Hi Ron, I would love to see your 701. What do you think of the Jabiru and how is the installation and support from the company?

    Good looking 701! How long have you been working on it? Have you any experience in flying 701s?

    Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on it. Let me check up on the time/distance and when I would have a day to travel to Muncie. What would be the best time for you, during the week or a weekend? Do you have any preferences?

    I appreciate the offer and will KIT,

    Hi Ron---

    Having flown heavier planes all of my life, that is the reason I feel I need some transition to the lighter 701.

    I checked on the mileage and time to Muncie, which from Harvard,IL it is 310 miles or at least 6 hours. This makes it a real road trip. I am still very interested so once the spring winds and rains pass and more stable weather is in the cards I will set something up with you. I took a look at 7i2 on Google map and it looks good for most weather with 9/27 runway.

    I'll KIT, and thanks again,

    Tom

    hI Ron,

          Í'm building a 701 with 2200 jab, i would be interested to know which prop you are using i have been advised to use a wood prop fixed  64x 30. I'm thinking more like 64x32. also what is your cruise speed  2900 rpm and rate of climb.

    would appreciate your help!
