Jeez! That looks like around 60 grand! I doubt that they will sell
you plans, just a kit and assembly instructions. Not that there is
anything wrong with that. Wider than a 172, sounds nice.

Locally made as in Cowra, that's only 50 minutes drive from here

It sounds nice, but you could get a decent used jabie for a lot less.

Just saying...

Or that KR2 in this months Sport Pilot.

The $19k one that's 99% finished :-)
I'm not a fan of the short arse on them, that's why I would probably prefer
to build my own from scratch so I could hang the empennage a bit further
back. Though at that price it is a good buy considering the man hours gone
into it.
Second hand jabs are thick on the ground and the local airport is filling up
with them, I like be a little different :-)
New Sportscruiser would be nice but I would have to sell both my kids
kidneys to get one :-)

Would you be prepared to buy into the Zenith CH-701 vs Savannah debate?
I really like the idea of the former with a Continental 0-200.

....or are they a little too agricultural?

Me? I *like* the looks, and definitely prefer a high wing.
....and none of that smelly resin stuff.

I grew up on that smelly resin stuff, I made quite a few canoes and kayaks
while at High School for the school and a couple on the side for private
consumption :-)
Haven't seen a Savannah or Zenith in the flesh yet but a I hear they fly
well.
As I learnt to fly in a J160 and have also flown a J230 on the odd occasion
I do like high wing AC but, as anyone who has flown a J160 can tell you they
do jump around a bit when its lumpy and in my dotage I would like something
that is a bit more stable and dare I say comfortable :-)
I also like the almost 180 degree vision afforded some of the modern low
wings, and with a few of the "cowboys" (Or as I like to call them "CUBs"
{Cashed Up Bogans}) that are currently training in my area, the sooner I
get to see them coming the better I like it.
Haven't got my head around tail draggers yet either so don't have an opinion
one way or the other.

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?
