I've spoken with Mr. Wood in Colorado who installed a 914 in his 701 about
10 years ago, and who has about 900 hours on it. He is very, very happy.
His reason for going to the 914 was that his strip is at 5000 ft and he needs
13000 ft just to clear the terrain in certain directions. He loves his 914 and
would do it again in an instant.
He also told me that there was no more than a 10 pound weight penalty in
going from the 912ULS to the 914, and that the 914 has been a beautiful,
reliable, trouble-free engine.
I'm wondering if there's anybody else out there with a 914/701
installation,
and if so, their comments.
Thanks,
Ken Ryan

Jean-Paul,
Last I knew, he was in the Grand Junction area, (West central, about 20 miles from the Utah boarder)
Where is your assignement at here in Colorado?

Ken,
Not quite there yet..but... I am going with "something" turbo'd. I have flown with a guy that had a 912S from Paonia, CO (7V2). With both of us (approx 320lbs) and approx 1/2 fuel (10gallons) the 701 did a good job. Not exactually sure what our TO run was, guessing <200'.but his field elevation is still low in altitude approx 5,800'.
I am trying to convence myself that the 914 $28K+ price tag is worth it. Also, have been keeping watch on the Raptor105 Diesel engine (comparible to the 914). Ramengines.com has a couple of turbo'd engines also( start with a 115hp and end with 140hp)
Gary in Mexico, (I think), tells of his experience of high altitude flying once in a while, maybe he will jump into the conversation. (maybe do a Matronics search on him, in the original zenith list, gary gower, gary growler not exactly sure, I will have to go back and look at some old emails from him)
Keith

Keith,
Do you use the 912ULS on your 701? How does it work for you at that
altitude?
