Ron,

My prop is an Ed Sterba 72X46, I have not reached full RPM on the two test flights still going over details. But the climb and speed were really good. I had airspeed leak issue but the GPS was showing 95 mph on the downwind leg, and climb was1000+on the VSI.

Very nice and sounds good. What length and pitch of the prop are you using ??  I have aC85-12  with a warp drive 3 blade but I dont know what degrees to set it .

That is so cool David.  I should fly over to Port Angeles and we can talk all things Zenith CH701s.  I'm at about 28 hours into the flight test on mine.  It's flying great. I just did the 25 hour Rotax 912 inspection/service and I'm trying to figure out an intermittent radio problem.
