Baby Turbo is now mounted on the front of my CH701

Nice project.

You should put a 21 tire on the front same as back. That will give you 3”

Easy way to get some more prop clearance is do what Jon Humberd did with his "Super 701" - simply make some extension plates that bolt to the bottom of the legs of the nose gear fork, displacing the axle down as far as you wish.

Amazing video!! Thank you so much for putting out a 701 info vid. I'm am building the same. My question is why not go with the viking Mitsubishi conversion? I didn't get through the whole video yet but just wondering.

Thank you for watching. I went with the baby turbo over the Mitsubishi for the horsepower. I do not plan on competing in STOL competition, but I do plan on installing floats. I originally was going to install the Honda 130 hp following in the foot steps of Deane Philip from New Zealand and the JUG. I talked with Viking several times about their engines, and also talked with Deane who told me flat out that if he was going to build another CH701 he was going to use the baby turbo. Basically the Viking 140 turbo was born during my shopping stage. I followed it closely and when it became available to purchase, I talked with Viking and Jan told me that the vision for this engine was for the Ch701, and that he and Alissa are also build one. I also would like to note that Viking has been top notch to work with through this whole process.
