Hi Johann and welcome l am doing a rebuild on a 701 l have a 912 ul what prop do you use . cheers Geoff..

Hi CK as far as l know Allan Barton is the only one l am importing parts for a 701 at the moment , doesnt seem like there is any stock in Australia.

No apologies needed just take two panadole and have a lay down..

Hi Ian why not combine the two Recreational Flying Pilots keep everybody happy. cheers Geoff..

Hi David l have just bought a ch701 and the figures in the performance manual are +6G/-3G design load factor (ultimate) Gross weight 500 kg. cheers Geoff.

If you spent more time covering than puning you would be flying sooner.

We did 800 hrs with a free air 503 on a drifter we took off all the cowlins and fan it ran great temps perfect.

What sort of engine are you refering to

When you call out CLEAR PROP when you pull start the lawn mower..

Have ago yourself it isnt hard it is quite easy and very enjoyable you could cut that price in half.

Why would you go of in tangent you be more comfortable going of in you Neiuport 11

Hi Maj got some BR8EV plugs today do l use the same gap setting that you use for BR8ES or is the gap different for these types of plugs. cheers Geoff...

l was hoping you where going to say silver , looking at your pics doesn't seem to be any silver nitrate after you sauate the fabric with nitrate you then put a coat of silver nitrate for UV protection after that the rest of the coats are with butyrate if l was you l would recover the hole thing .. cheers Geoff...

Hi what color is on the underside of the paint and when the paint flakes off is the ceconite clean .

It can be done but with the effort of preparing the ceconite surface it would be better to recover .

Peter if you keep up all these puns l will be busting at my stitches..

Thats all we used when l was a kid making model planes was flour and water it glued well..

Also Tomo saftey wire the D shackle on your rudder attachment if the D shackle holding the tail wheel spring is the same for the cable..

Hi Peter l have used 2.7 ceconite also they call it the Randolf system like Maj said it is easy to use and with last l got all my requirements from Aviquip in Morrabin ring them they will give you a price just work out how many square ft of area you need to cover. cheers Geoff...

If only i could fly like that

Hi Maj would you recommend them for a 503 inverted or run the BR8ES cheers Geoff

Yes never straighten those brackets we have had a fatality with that been done.

We might not spell very good but we can lift heavy fings

Hi l have a 200mt runway l fly the drifter in and out but l had to transport the fox to a longer runway ,with STOL of a 701 l wouldnt have to do that. cheers Geoff

Hi could l have your opinion on fuel tanks placement ,l have been looking at a Zenith ch 701 the fuel tank is behind the panel are there any safety issues with this system l am not keen on having 36Lts of fuel in that area are there many other aircraft with this design. cheers Geoff..
