That's the 701 with the "Beanie Mod" - I read a lot of his posts over on Zenith.aero. Seems to work ok and I believe a few others have modified / are modifying their 701's the same.

Guy s Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Pretty cool video and seeing some high rises higher than the 701 I notice 2 electric fuel pumps and wondering what the reason behind that is and guessing safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zodiacpilot Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Is it optical delusion?, possible starboard wing twist (3:40 & 4:58). Not obvious later on final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Is it optical delusion?, possible starboard wing twist (3:40 & 4:58). Not obvious later on final. Are you talking about the ripples in the top skin as seen below? You can see the same thing on the port wing, just a little less clear because of the angle of the sun. 701 wing skins are only 0.016" and the bays between ribs are fairly big, so wouldn't be surprised if there's a little rippling in them in flight. Maybe that's how all 701's look when flying - just most of them don't have tail cam so we don't know about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClintonB Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It’s good that regular people can still do this after the events of 17 years ago. Nice way to sight see all those places without the crowds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
