How would an Aerovee powered CH701 do? Really like the Aerovee engine, and especially, its price. Cheap parts, solid engine, well priced. Sounds perfect for a 701. I understand it's light on thrust however, how will it manage? Not a fan of redrives, except I like the planetary systems, but can't find any info on them. Looking to build a good bush plane for up here in the far north with commonly available parts, cheap rebuilds, reliable, etc. If the Aerovee will do a decent job, will go that way. Only hitch is I'd like floats one day, hoping it has the guts with a good prop.
