|
I flew my 601XL/Jab3300 down to Shelbyville, Tn for an EAA breakfast yesterday and saw a beautiful 701 being flown by Pete of Jab USA (I believe Pete said it first flew Friday 22 August). It had Jab 2200 ((Eight-five (85)horsepower)) engine installed.
See http://www.usjabiru.com/zenithch701.html This is probably the same airplane, except the one Pete was flying was painted and beautifully finished.
I asked Pete if a 3300 would be better and his reply was (if I recall correctly) that for the 701 you really do not need the power of the 3300.
That Jab sure did sound sweet and take-off was . SHORT.. like a 701 does best.
If I were building a 701, I would seriously consider the Jab 2200, based on my experience with the Jab 3300.

"Jabiru USA however, endorses
the 3300 on the 701 because they want to sell us 701 builders the more expensive
engine.

Now the 80hp Jabiru is a bit cheaper that either of the 912 Rotaxes but they have
lost quite a bit of their price advantage over the last few years. Personally,
I would not have even considered the Jabiru 80hp as a STOL engine but I have
to admit the pictures of George Race's first flight that he just posted shows
that it is capable of getting off the ground very quickly. I now have significanly
more respect for this installation."
