I've spoken with Mr. Wood in Colorado who installed a 914 in his 701 about 

10 years ago, and who has about 900 hours on it. He is very, very happy.



His reason for going to the 914 was that his strip is at 5000 ft and he needs 

13000 ft just to clear the terrain in certain directions. He loves his 914 and 

would do it again in an instant. 



He also told me that there was no more than a 10 pound weight penalty in 

going from the 912ULS to the 914, and that the 914 has been a beautiful, 

reliable, trouble-free engine.



I'm wondering if there's anybody else out there with a 914/701 installation, 

and if so, their comments.



Thanks,



Ken Ryan

Ken, the only two negatives I've ever heard about the 914 in the 701 were cooling it and of course the price tag.  I seem to remember Skyshops had a special cowl for the 914 or something to that effect to allow better cooling.



I could be wrong though, this is remembering a couple of years ago.
