I have the same combo and same issue. When I called (whever it was) they told me the ICOM did not have the ability to adjust the sidetone. So where is this little ajustment...My Wife will love you forever. Now if I could find a way to stop the ignition noise coming over the radio as wel that would be sweet.

Finally, I got the engine working with the Nippodenso/GM HEI setup... Today, I got the aircraft registration done.... Fun to see my name and plane in the Transport Canada database! We sat in the plane tied down to the ground and ran the engine for a while at 4400 rpm.. FUN! Cooling appears to be good so I'm getting confident that I'll have final inspection in may or june (if school leaves me some time to finish preparing the aircraft). Thanks to those of you who contacted me last week to help. I have a video online of engine turning, but it is a big file for what you get... (is there a way to make more efficient video files?) http://mthobby.pcperfect.com/misc/engine.avi Michel do not archive ===== ---------------------------- Michel Therrien CH601-HD, C-GZGQ http://mthobby.pcperfect.com/ch601 http://www.zenithair.com/bldrlist/profiles/mthobby http://pages.infinit.net/mthobby __________________________________ http://hotjobs.sweepstakes.yahoo.com/careermakeover ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 07:17:32 PM PST US From: roy vickski Subject: Zenith-List: re:701 Fuselage help --> Zenith-List message posted by: roy vickski Brian, It is quite straightforward if you adhere to the photo manual and reference the print for the proper angles. Try not to trim 7f9-8 to short or you will miss 7f5-4, it will take several fit ups to get it right. The 7f12 page of details spells it all out, the top of page 7f15 has the angles and written instructions. You may want your gear/strut fittings on hand and fit them at the same time. I ended up buying an aircraft angle drill after it took me 5 hours to drill the 8 holes through the bottom channel with makeshift drill adapters, you may be able to drill yours before final assembly and save the aggravation and expense. If you are building from a kit the cage will be very helpful. I think I fussed and fidgited with it for a week off and on before I was comfortable and drilled the first hole, but I didn't have wing dimensions or cabin frame fabbed yet so I measured 63 times and drilled once and it turned out real good. Good luck and success on your latest milestone.
