i to looked at a 701 a while ago. It is simple engineering and that is good from a build point of view. But the cruise is very slow.
I was also put off as the manufacturer of the kite for Europe was in Czec and had a very good qulality record and had improved the design. but they have given it up for their own products and the kits now come from the US, and are not as good (so i have been told and have seen on other sites, linked form the zenair site)
