Flicka, I haven't been following all this goings on until the last week or two, you seemed to gotten sideways with some of the folks for what ever reason. You must have really done or said something bad, I haven't seen so many people so pissed off in a long time. Around here and on most forums you have to learn to chose your words very carefully. It is interesting to watch but it is getting a little old. Sorry if this sounds like a smart ass, but what kind of name is "Flicka", are you a horse? Seems like some think you are part of one. Use your real name, we are all friends.
However, to answer your question. It very doable, just a matter of offsetting the 0-200 engine with weight in the tail. I knew a guy in Searcy, Arkansas that put a 0-200 in a 701. I never flew in it, but saw it fly. Seemed to work fine, had a starter too. It was the old model 701, i.e., 1100lb. If I can think of his name I will let you know. It's been like 5 years ago. If you have the skill you can put any engine you want to in a 701, it just a matter of what you want to give up for it. I don't think you will find any plans or anything else on how to do. I put a Subaru 2.5 and a Harley in one, neither one worked for various reasons. The Subaru was too heavy and the Harley vibrated too much. The main thing I've learned is that the whole nature of a 701 is to keep it a light as possible or you defeat the purpose of it being what it is. I think the 0-200 is too heavy but like I said it's been done and probably will be done again, just not by me. Take care, Larry N1345L

It's been two weeks since I posted my original question. I still have not seen an answer. I'm a scratch builder. I'm ready to get an engine for my 701. I have also ordered the 750 plans ( post xmas they'll come so says santa-heintz ).
The CAN-ZAC site says that you can put a JAB-3300 or a O-200 ( continental 215 LB's ) into a CH-701. I don't like the ROTAX because just a set of pistons is $2,000. Top end work on high-rev engines is frequent.
I would really like to put an O-200 into my scratch-built CH-701, the only O-200's I have ever seen in 701's is hand prop, with no battery, starter, or alternator, to keep the weight down.
I want to know how CAN-ZAC is putting in O-200's in their 701-QB's??
In two weeks I have caught HELL from this group, but nobody has ever answered the question?
