You won't go wrong with a -9A unless you have your heart set on doing aeros at some point. I'm putting a new panel in my -9A and will put it on the market in a few months as I need a 4-seater. I should've listened to the KRviatrix and built a -10.....

Hi Bex

It appears from the video that the arm from the bell crank to the aileron is outside the bottom wing skin is that correct?

I will get you the to firewall sizes today and post here

The 750 is much larger than the 701

Thanks Allan! How's that Cruzer coming along?

Going down GA experimental and fixing a 0-320 140 hp engine

Heavy I know but heaps of power

Hey all,Starting work on the lower rear fuselage of the 701 and realise I need nutplates for the rear access hatch (and other inspection panels in wings).

 

Don't really want to do an order to the US because the freight would be far more than the item cost.

 

Is there anywhere in Aus that sells these? I'd need about 50 of the plates and screws.

 

Part numbers are:

 

Plates: MS107SL3

 

Screws: AN525-10R7

 

Also #40 blind rivets, not sure if these have to be anything special as the nut and plate would be taking all the load.

 

Thanks!

 

Cheers, Marty

You can try Superior aircraft parts in Brisbane they have a big supply of hardware or

Aircraft Propellers and Spares. ... Building 127, Third St MoorabbinAirport. They have lots of hardware too

Hi Bex

Something you might want to look into is that the kit must meet the FAA's 51% rule if you wish to sell the kits in the USA and other places

FWF, instruments paint etc don't count I believe

Looks like an RV 6A

No spare parts for Jab motors

Every Jabiru engine owner has a real problem if they need parts

There are over 7000 Jab motors around the world with very little or no more spare parts available

This is not good for anyone

The market for second hand Jabiru planes will now be rock bottom

Zenith bubble doors come with a three point latching system

It is the builders responsibility to ensure the doors are locked and do not open accidentally in flight

Remember the airport has to have no RPT so you do not need an ASIC card. There are a lot of pilots that do not have one so that rules out Dubbo, Bathurst etc

Can anyone on this forum tell me whether Zenair Australia really exists and if it does, how the hell does one contact them?As I've previously posted, I bent my CH701 and now need to order some airframe parts. Over the last two months I have emailed them twice, left a voice message once and a text message, all of which have gone unanswered.

I'd obviously prefer to order in Australia rather than direct from the USA but am beginning to think that I may have to do that!
