they are a beautiful little aircraft to fly. in turbulence there is
the slightest tail sway due to the all flying rudder but two heavy
feet on the rudder redals dampens this out completely.

one of the chaps has the jab 6 the other the rotax.
install the jab in accordance with the manufacturers directions and
you will not have any problems. the chap initially used an over
diameter oil pipe to the cooler and this caused sufficient pump up
delay in the oil lines that he siezed a bearing. installed after
repair in the manner it should have been and the engine has been a
faultless performer.

what you will find is that the 601 is an absolutely amazing camera
platform for air to air photos. the huge bubble canopy gives an
amazing range of movement to track other aircraft.

dont have any doubts that you are building a good aeroplane.
andrew flew his across australia six times in six months to see his
girlfriend. thats about 3,000 miles per trip. never had a problem.

At 100 mph, I can think of one problem.

OTOH, it is a great little plane. Not an RV, but it doesn't pretend
to be one.
