I have used auto fuel when I had the Revflo carb on my engine. I didn't have any problem with the auto gas, but had plenty of problems with the carb. I'm now using an Ellison and am much happier with it. So far the only down sides to the Ellison is the cost and the requirement to use avgas.

This was before he decided to sell it. If anyone is considering an almost complete project this is a GOOD one. I have built 3 other homebuilts besides the 701 I'm constructing and have looked at probably a hundred projects in garages over the last 30 odd years and this 701 is in the top 3 or 4. The workmanship is as good or better than what you get from the Czech Aircraft works. I'm very sorry John has to sell it as that decision is generally spurred by something serious, plus he promised me a ride!! Wish I could buy it.

Using weaker springs may prevent the engine from achieving full power. I have a vernier throttle on my plane and don't find the pull force to be excessive, but then I did not use the throttle setup that came with the kit. My plane has a single throttle control that leads to a bracket where it connects to the two throtle cables from the carbs. Check the cable guide tubes from the carbs to your throttle linkage, they should be as straight as possible. The more curve they have in them and the smaller the radius of the curves, the more friction they will have. -- Bryan Martin N61BM, CH 601 XL, Stratus Subaru.

I have installed a vernier throttle control, but I find the spring pressure requires a substantial "pull" on the throttle to throttle down. Has anyone replaced the springs with lighter springs or even removed the springs from the carbs? I have loosened the split nylon tension block used with the old throttles and merely use it as a guide, but the pull required is substantial. >Your comments will be greatly appreciated. >Best regards....................................................Dick Wilbers Florida 97% complete > ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:08:25 AM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: 801 for relief From: Grant Corriveau --> Zenith-List message posted by: Grant Corriveau > forget it; the Indonesian Army would steal them and the pilots would be > lucky to get back home. > Howard Carter For a 'slightly' more accurate picture of what's happening - check out the updated reports at www.mafc.org DO NOT ARCHIVE eg: Jan 5, 2005 - Aceh, Indonesia Report from: Wally Wiley, MAF Area Manager, Asia The C206 has been in the disaster area for three days now and is based in Meulaboh. Today we flew the first flight into the disaster area with the Caravan bringing supplies. Yesterday, it was pouring rain and there was a man sitting on what remained of his house (just the foundation). He was holding up a piece of linoleum to keep the rain from hitting him directly. When asked about his family he said that his wife was killed and all of his kids are missing and he doesn't know where they are or what happened to them. Today, Samaritans Purse made their helicopter available to us for areas that we can land the 206. They found a place that is about 45 miles away from Meulaboh. When they landed there the people begged for any food that they had saying that they had not eaten for the last week. The pilots told them that if they helped get an area cleaned up for the plane to land that they would be back. They did help and the plane was able to return today and brought two loads of rice. They report that about 3,000 villagers are left there out of a population of approximately 10,000. A doctor is desperately needed as many of the survivors have broken bones and other injuries but have received no help as of yet. We will be flying some medical help in tomorrow morning to Meulaboh so that they can start meeting those needs. It's heartbreaking to know that there are still so many of these areas where people need desperately to be helped. We will be flying down to another area tomorrow and out to an Island called Nias that was also hit by the Tsunami. We want to find the areas that need our help the most and areas that we can serve with our smaller aircraft. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:24:13 AM PST US From: "Dirk Slabbert" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: CH701 Project For Sale --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Dirk Slabbert" John, this is very sad, hope it never happens to me. If it was at all possible I'd buy it any day, I sometimes used your pics as a photo assembly guide!

I found a catalog on line with all kinds of bearings and cups etc. Unfortunately, I've since reformatted my hard drive and lost everything. I searched the Archives and couldn't find it. Would the sender please send me the name of the bearing company. Thanks, Dan
