A great local bushpilot and our Mentor (is wonderful to listen to his advise), 3 years ago asked me to have the chance to test fly my 701... Shure was a honor for me, because he is a tail wheel pilot, "he hates training wheels" jokes around.
To watch him fly the 701 was a beautifull aerial ballet, no hard aerobatic manuvers, just the plane tested to the limits of normal manuvers.
He got out the plane very happy. He loved how the plane performed. One thing he mention was that the 701 was a great plane for a novice pilot, he told me "you have a huge stall alarm built in" with a big smile...

My 701 does the same thing. What makes it do that I have no idea, but I do make use it to control my speed on landings. It's like a built in stall indicator except no conventional stall occurs, just the big controllable mush.
Do I wish the wing profile continued over the cabin, you bet. I truly believe it would be a better plane if it did, as I suspect the buffeting MAY start there. For one thing I could peer into the wing at a sight glass and know exactly how much gas I have. I could run a vent line between the gas tanks to equalize the pressure of the tanks so they would feed evenly, Cessna does it that way. Does the stall (buffeting) start over the cabin long before the rest of the wing, I have no doubt.
All in all I love to fly the 701 very much but believe there is room for improvements in several areas. To be fair you could say that about any airplane though.

Gary
Can you remember if he had anything else to say, likes, dislikes??
Always interesting to hear and learn from more experienced pilots.
Thanks, Don B...
