Thanks everybody for the input. I'm seriously looking at the Pegazair
100,
I't appears to have all the features that I'm looking for. I'll keep the
group posted on my descision, and I guess details of when I commence my
build.

Again, thank you all for your input

The beauty of the peg (over the Zen 701) is the chrome moly fuselage,
which means no "oil canning" and better surviveability and
repairability in case of a "hard landing". With the automatic slats it
is a bit faster on the same horsepower, and it is designed for a
greater FWF weight (300 lb limit) so a "real" aircraft engine can be
installed without making it into a single seater.

I was seriously thinking 701 a few years back (with a Soob) but I
found the soob was too heavy for my thinking on that plane - and the
Peg was a "similar mission".
