Paul, check out this set of louvers made by a Zenith 601 builder.  I
don't know how he did it as I cannot see a weld between the
triangular ends and the louvers.  I am going to write to the builder
to find out more. Perhaps someone on the list can offer insight.
This one is set up to go over a VW Rabbit radiator but no reason that
I can see that a similar one could not be made to fit any situation.
You have to admire the craftsmanship.    Jerry

Cool pardon the pun :)

How come you are not building a 801 instead of a 701?
The 801 will accommodate a rotary. Looks like about the same amount
of work. There is no replacement for HP when it comes to getting
out of a short field at given aircraft weight. A 250 HP  p-port  rotary
with a variable pitch prop would give this airplane spectacular
short field take off characteristics. For getting into short fields
you could always drop an anchor attached to a bungee cord :)

You are right but bigger, heavier, etc is not the path I want to
follow.  I don't want a 4 place.  However, I am enjoying sheet metal
(I knew I would)  ..Who knows,  this one may not be the last.      Jerry

Do you still have your Tailwind?

Paul Lamar

No,  sold some months back.  No way it could land in the back
yard.    Jerry

What are the dimensions of your back yard? I got an idea for
a faster takeoff.
