I have a ZAC-made fiberglass cowl and engine mount for a 601 Subaru EA-81 (Stratus,
but
maybe other conversions, too) for sale. Never been used, of course. ZAC gets $445
for
each, and I'm willing to take a hit on these for anyone needing one or the other.
I believe
(but am not certain) that this is the same cowl ZAC supplies for the Rotax 912,
except that it
comes with a scoop and two side blisters that need to be glassed on; I think it
is ready to go
for the Rotax as is.

| Subject: | Couple of 701 questions |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: Brendan Bartlett <b2bartlett@rogers.com>
Hello,
I'm interested in possibly building a CH701 in Canada (Brampton)...right now I'm
in the process of getting my Private Pilot's License. Before I start anything,
I have a couple of questions I hope someone on the list might have the answers
to:
1) is the cruise of 80 mph with a Rotax 912 accurate? I'm planning of installing
a 100hp 912S.
2) I haven't decided if I want a kit or to build scratch from plans...how much
time do I save with the kit? Is it worth it? I'm probably going to start building
in a basement and if I go the plans route I'm planning to fabricate parts
I can ship out to my final assembly area (which I don't have yet). If it takes
4 years, part-time, I'm fine with it.
3) this question sounds crazy, and if it is, great let me know. Is it possible
to carry a small (14 foot, kevlar, 42 lb) canoe on a float equipped CH701?
Obviously this affects the aerodynamics of the airplane, but would it still be
flyable and would the canoe survive after landing?
4) has anyone tried pressure actived leading edge slats? I found a company offering them at http://www.dedaliusaviation.com/newdedalius/anglais.htm.
They sound impressive, but I'm not sure they're worth the 20% improvement in cruise
speed when you consider the extra equipment you have on your wing.
Ideally, what I want is a good easy to fly airplane which can be used as a rugged
bush plane for Northern Ontario and I can still use it for the occasional
cross-country (500 km) flight...I think the 701 fits the bill pretty well. If
I had the cash, I would go for a Beaver or Twin Otter, but I don't!! I wouldn't
want the gph burn rate of those airplanes either.
Thanks for any and all info....
- Brendan Bartlett

Hi folks,
for those of you flying with the IVO prop: what type of prop are you using for
the CH601 HDS / Rotax 912? Am I coreect assuming, that the 3 blade 68'' inflight-adjustable
Ultralight prop is the right one?
How satisfied are you with the prop in terms of performance and maintenance? Somewhere
I heard, that there is a problem with the brushes and the slip ring (getting
dirty and causing poor electrical connection)?
Thanks
Thilo Kind

Subject: Electric FLAPeron control for the CH701
All Ch701 builder/fliers,
Although I am not even close to this point yet on my project, but, has
anyone ever built, or thought about building, an electric flap control for
the 701? I think I remember reading on somebody's website about the thought.
Also, according to the plans, there are only 2 postions for the flaps, UP
and Down. I have seen some photos that show a medium (1/2) setting, plus,
the article on the Zenith website
http://www.zenithair.com/kit-data/701-ms.html
<http://www.zenithair.com/kit-data/701-ms.html> talks about using 1/2 flaps
to get a feel of how the airplane handles. Any information on this?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Brendan,

They sound impressive, but I'm not sure they're worth the 20% improvement in
cruise speed when you consider the extra equipment you have on your wing.
It seems that I remember somewhere that the improved cruise performance is
not that high, (only a couple of knots, not 20%) The website quotes " Our
Pega Stol wing WILL increase the cruising speed by + or - 20% and improve
all other aerodynamic performances accordingly." notice the WILL increase.
These implies that they have not achieved it yet. This 20% improvement would
reduce my flying time by 1 hr. on a 500 mile flight!! Also, if just the wing
will improve this cruise performance, then think about cleaning up all the
other parasitic drag on the rest of the plane, and we should be be able to
increase it by another 20%, so an 80mph cruise just turned into a 112mph
cruise. They are also stating that the wing weighs the same as the original
Zenith wing. Now this information might be correct, but the way it looks to
me, is, the numbers are something that they are hoping for. But remember,
the CH701 is designed to be a dependable, durable, easy to build, STOL
plane. If anybody has other information about the performance on this wing,
then I will be all for changing my building process and pursue obtaining
more information on these wings.

| Subject: | Dual radiators... |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: Grant Corriveau <grantc@ca.inter.net>
When using a dual radiator setup, is there a preference for series vs.
parallel connection? I'm thinking of putting a pair of motorcycle radiators
on my CAM100 (Honda conversion), either in each corner of the cowling, or
maybe one in each wing root. Series would be less plumbing ...
I'm moving my 'chin' mounted rad. It's been working fine wrt keeping engine
coolant within limits, but the dumping of hot air into the engine room has
led to other complications.
Thanks

If your cruise is within 8 to 10 mph of the VNE a 20% increase in speed would
blow your wings off... Good luck. HP will increase the take-off and climb
performance, or will drag floats around a bit quicker, but suggest you not build
a 701 for fast cross countries. Other planes do that. Other planes that
require a 1000 ft paved runway and climb 7 or 800 FPM

Grant,
In our next project, the 601 XL, we are planning to use the Jab 3000 so
no water cooling instalation. But in your position I will go towards
one radiator in each wing root, like the Spitfire. I read that is more
efective in cooling while taxing, also they look very cool in that
position...

You may wish to install a roughly 12" x 12" access hatch for future work like antennae,
cable maintenance. Mine is in the 601 HDS left sideskin; some have put
them in the bottom skin.
I would never attempt to crawl into the tailcone: it's not designed for such abuse!

We did not find any problem this way, because the rear fuselage is flat
(well almost) in the table, the padding worked OK for the plane and the
"rear End". Well, a big guy will no be very confortable working inside
that "airconditioning duct" :-) :-)

From the archives, the question answered is about an indicator
but he appears to be using a wiper motor to move the flaps. You
can try contacting him directly. I think he quit monitoring the
list after completing his 701.

Ken.
I can give you a simple circuit I've made, with a potentiometer
as a sensor.
I replaced the 3 position flap command with an electric one : a
wiper motor,
a threaded rod and 2 limit switches under the left seat.
The circuit is a ICL 7106 which reads a linear pot and drives two
7-seg LEDS,
which gives (by adjusting the input) the flap value directly in
degrees,
plus a 12V to 5V converter to feed the chips. Cost : 40$.
But since my scanner is dead, I'll fax you the drawing if you
give me your
fax nb (event' by direct e-mail).

The heat from the chin-mounted rad was causing damage to my Hall EFfect
sensors -- there seems to be a degradation to the epoxy used to hold them in
place, and even some physical damage as if there has been a loss of 'gap' at
some point and the sensor has been touched by the magnet. This along with
the general effects of excessive heat under the cowl (fuel vaporization
possibilities; wear and tear on other components...) has convinced me to go
ahead and try my radiator idea.
Even better than 'under' the wing, I'm looking at INSIDE the wing. The
HD/HDS wings have that natural 'bay' just outboard of the gear legs where
the wing attach brakets are accessible. There is plenty of room in here for
a 6 or 8" by 18 or 20" radiator. One on each side will give me more than
the manufacturer's recommeded 200 sq. inches. A NACA duct on the bottom of
the wing, and a venting surface on top - in the gap cover that we fabricate
for this area - located in the zone of max. lift should produce a positive
lifting of air through the radiator. The good thing is that at high angles
of attack with max. wing lift, there will also be maximum airflow through
the radiator, which seems ideal. (So hopefully no scoops at all will be
required).
While on the ground the engine isn't producing maximum heat, but the key
factor may be if there is still enough rising of air through the rad to keep
things cool during long taxi times, etc...
Thanks for the encouragement - I'll keep you posted - but you'll have to
stay tuned - I'm a slow worker ;-)

Hi, Grant
Cool idea, but how would that affect lift?

Found a formed hose for the right side that works pretty well with a little trimming.

I just went through that process. I put shipping
blankets down underneath and inside the fuselage. I
folded the one underneath near the back to keep it from
rocking. It came out OK with no damage to the bottom
skin. I made sure I prepared everything ahead of time
and brought it in with me so that I didn't have to go
in and out more than once.
I don't know if there is a better way to do it. If you
have room (height) maybe you could stand it up and
support it on the edge of a bench and use a step ladder
to get far enough inside.
