I really enjoyed flying low and slow with the 701 but I wanted to go places before I was too old. This year has been great but my plan to fly to the UK was thwarted by an equipment failure 2 days before the flight. With the Bristell I can make the flight in one day but I normally fly to my friend in Germany, near Dortmund and then fly on to the UK next day.

Which part of Poland did you visit? I live about 100km north of Szczecin on the Baltic coast.

Are you in Tasmania Marty? I am English but living in Poland. I had a 701 which I sold to a friend in Szczecin. It is and old one, built in'95 but was is a great aircraft and gave me much enjoyment. 

3 years ago I built a Bristell NG5 which I flew first on my 72nd birthday. This aircraft is also giving me a lot of fun, "Boys Toys"

I worked in Oz for 4 years, near Perth and made some great friends there. One of them has a small farm in Tas and is a Radar technician working for BAE.

Anyway, good luck with your 701.

Regards, Michael

Hello Marty,

I think that the parts you are referring to are 7C6-5 and 7C6-4 Drawing No: 7-C-6.

There isn't a lot of detail but probably enough.

I hope that this helps, 

Maybe you could contact a friend of mine in Oz, Andrew, who built a 701. some years ago. His address: [email protected]

I feel sure that he would be happy to help.

Kind regards, Michael

Hello all,

I am a going to be in the Perth/ Henderson area of WA for a month from mid June and would be interested to meet with any CH701 owners in this area.

I have one that I fly in Poland and would like to maintain my hours.

It is also possible that I will be there for a year from August so I will definitely be looking for some means of flying then.

Michael
