where to get plans
I am looking for plans for plans for a tube and fabric, side by side 2
seater, high folding wing, stol/bush aircraft such as the kitfox, zenair 701 or Merlin GT. 65 hp motor like Rotax 582. If anyone has a set or know where to get them would be greatly appreciated. Bob Stacey |

The Zenith 701 is neither a tube and fabric or a folding wing and doesn't perform very well with a 65 hp engine. |

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. See http://www.zenithair.com/stolch701/fwo.html While it does exist, I don't think its very popular. -- Frank Stutzman Bonanza N494B "Hula Girl" Boise, ID |

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. "Frank Stutzman" wrote in message ...

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. |

If they haven't even started testing them yet, what makes you think they'll be more reliable than Rotaxes or half-VWs? Ron Wanttaja |

Do you get Kitplanes Magazine? The December issue lists all known KIT
planes and I believe the January issues show all PLANS built planes... Scott Rob_S wrote: Thanks guys... I know the Zenair is not fabric and I don't know how it flys 65 horses.
