I have been flying C-FCAM since 2001. Installed new RAM115 soob conversion 2 years ago. What a wild child on take off!!
I also fly a Vans RV9A that I finished in 2014. Its a real contrast when transitioning between these two aircraft!

    Hey Cam, 

      I haven't had much of a chance to catch up with you. Working on the fuselage now. Still planning on the ea81 for my powerplant. I got several parts to reduce weight, and make more power. I got the newer front nose fork, and matching post, lighter, and stronger. Charlie

    Cam,

    Just purchased a 701 with a Subaru EA81. I have Zero experience with Subaru engines. 

    I would welcome any comments from you with your vast experience.

    Here is a couple of questions,

    What oil do you use ?

    What oil temp do you get at cruise ?

    What water (coolant) temp do you get a cruise ?

    What is your fuel burn versus rpm ?

    Thanks Dick Jones at KUUV

    Just sold my 601 with a Viking 130 because at my age it was getting harder to get in and out of the bathtub.

    Sorry to hear about all of your bad luck. Better flying days to come. Thanks for the performance numbers very informative. 
    Enjoyed 2 flight/4 hours in the Subaru powered CH-701 before a strong gusty crosswind slammed me on the runway hard enough to brake off the nose gear fork. In the repairing/maintenance to get it airworthy again.
    Having a problem sorting out the coolant system (hoses material, routing, sizes and clamps). Any info would be appreciated.
