Thanks Terry, I put the same question on another Zenair forum and had good replies. Most owners of 701s see to have level attitude in the cruise. I also e-mailed the Heintz brothers at Zenair who confirmed this was the correct attitude. All the best Paul

Hi, I have recently come out of a syndicate flying a CH 701 as personalities clashed within the group. The only issue that bothered me with that particular 701 was it's pronounced nose up attitude when flying in the cruise. Having not flown another 701 can owners tell me if this hight nose attitude is normal, or was the one I flew not set up correctly? Many thanks, Paul

Hi Planey, Nice to hear from you. For a minute I thought you were from Padstow in Cornwall and then saw NSW, so presume you now live in Oz? I certainly will encourage other flyers to use this site. All the best Paul

Hi Neil, Holcombe is not far along the coast from me as we live in Weymouth. We could probably see it on a very clear day. Next time you are there find the small private grass strip at Branscombe just east of Holcombe by about 17 miles and just inland. There are a couple of guys doing excellent aircraft restoration work there. The strip has an annual fly in plus car show which we sadly missed this year. see http://www.branscombeairfield.co.uk/index.htm Sadly the strip is surrounded by Nimbys who restrict air movements so it is nearly impossible to fly there unless for the big day , usually June.July.

Hi Frank, I have just joined this 701 syndicate, four members, and eagerly awaiting to be checked out!! If only the weather would settle down! How many hours did you notch up in the 701? Paul

Hi Alan, Four years ago we retired from sail cruising after 35 years, and Guernsey was always our favourite destination. Do you ever go back? It is a great place for me to fly into and the controllers at Guernsey are very helpful. Paul

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member to this forum. The reason for joining is I have just bought a quarter share in a Zenair CH 701 based at Old Sarum, near Salisbury in the UK. I am looking to having many happy hours cruising low and slow ! Paul
