Thanks guys...
I know the Zenair is not fabric and I don't know how it flys 65 horses. I
would love to have $40k to splash on a kit with a 912 but with about a
quarter of that available I am going to have to settle for something a
little more realistic. I don't mind tackling a scratch built project if I
could find a set of proven plans for this type of aircraft.

Well I can't help you but I can help you shorten your list some. The
Zenith
701 is neither a tube and fabric or a folding wing and doesn't perform
very
well with a 65 hp engine.

You are correct on most of those items, except that 701 does have an
option for folding wing. Seehttp://www.zenithair.com/stolch701/fwo.html

While it does exist, I don't think its very popular.

Whoa! guys, gals if any.
Your still thinking about using Rotax and half VW engines. Not to bag
on them but there not the most reliable for the price or the weight.
When i was off web browsing I found these guys http://www.rotaryae.com/
They are rotary but you may want to take a peek they changed my mind
from the lycoming, VW for my Quickie Q-200 I now have one on order as
soon as there testing or something like that is done.
