Hi Ek thanks for the info i like the idea of the stiffners in the wings also wonderd about the effect you have on the airframe when you add little bits here and there, always had the idea of building a 75% scale single seat version of the 701 may be will not work Cheers Phil

Hi Ek you are right but do a lot of flying in the sav and dont use the top window much i was also thinking down the lines of more strength in the air frame what do you think?

Hi Geoff spoke to the instructor today he is keen depending on the weather , would you offer him 10k for the pup i was thinking 7k done a few hours and has been bent a couple of times .Paint on my plane is rough have picked up some striper that you used will try a bit and see if it comes off easy then make a decision. Funny what you are going to do about blocking out the sun i was thinking the same thing the savs have only a small window on the roof i was thinking replacing the roof lexan with a aluminium stop sun and glare Cheers Phil

Hi Geoff had a look at the maps only 148 nm will have to suggest to instructor to come down your way. Have you found a prop? I have a series3 68inch bolly here if you want a lend. I must order my cables still undecided weather to repaint big job to strip,I see the N3pup back on ebay wonder what he would take for it sold my tractor yesterday all cashed up, mentioned to wife but got no responseCheers Phil

Hi Geoff how is it all going down your way ? have not gone near my plane for 2 weeks to much work also started my navs last weekend so that will take up next few weekends.New 503 going into your old Tyro next week or so mite see it flying around will be good Cheers Phil.

Hi all the honeing is done cold.Went there Alan yes you are wishfull thinking. Cheers

Hi guys photos are on the way . For the valves Google k liners ,they are a spiral bronse insert desined for extreme conditions. Our motor hours were in the hi 300s .cheers Phil

Hi guys, would like to add my two bobs worth to your discussion. I fly a club jab which started to use a lot of oil (140ml per hour). It caused a lot of tension in the club, trying to work out what the problem was, when a club member (engineer by trade) explained his idea on how to fix the problem. Once he got the go ahead from the club, he made up torque plates for the barrels and heads the barrels are then bolted to the torque plates to the right tension then honed so when you bolt the barrels back on the block to the right tension you you have round bores. The heads are bolted to the there torque plates valves reseated add KY valve guides.Now our club jab burns very little oil (with original pistons and rings) and runs sweet, and I mean sweet, no more typical jab clatter fixes alot of jab motor probs. Cheers Phil

Hi Geoff have alook at this site Ron's Zenair CH701 construction site tips and tricks Cheers Phil

Hi EK we all would like to have a go at a super cub Cheers Phil

Woops

Hi Geoff found old pic of the plan before i brought it home Cheers Phil
