You would be better off with a CH750 if that is your engine of choice.


I thought that too, but they cross the line between
"comfortably-trailerable" and "damn-near-impossible-to-trailer."
Also, their STOL specs are (surprisingly!) a lot poorer than the 701.

Some folks have put 0-200s into 701s with success, so it can be done.
Also, the 750 would come perilously close to GA.

Anyone know of any 701s flying around the Sydney/NSW area?
