Hello Bob.
Congratulations on your first flight.
I did not experience any left turn tendance. Was there much difference
between the weight of thr right and left main wheels, when doing the
weight and banlance?
If not, then it could be the ailerons that need adjusting. Only your
weight should not make that much difference.
Regarding the elevator cables, just release the tension in the cables
,and use an elastic band as suggested in the drawings to avoid the
cables from rubbing together.
Glad you did not experience any oil leak :-)
Happy flying.

Thank you Bill,
I'm in need of any info that might be useful. With so many thicknesses
and variations it's hard to
put one's finger on the best course of materials.

I too initially had a "heavy" left wing. My heavy wing is due to the down
elevator cable being pulled to the side by a spring to avoid rubbing the up
cable. The spring puts a slight torque on the stick causing the left wing
to act heavy. Once I put the tab on the right flaperon which cancels most
of the roll and my vernier adjustment (adjustable spring tension on the
aileron push rod) all is fine. I have flown with various tank loadings and
passengers, there is very little roll influence from the loadings.

shipping. Also have a high flow, 10 micron fuel filter for $15 and a K & N
2.25" ID air filter for $20 plus shipping. These are discounted about 25%.

Dear Jerry, Congratulations on the first flight of your CH-801 !!!!! The
photos were great. Where did you get your cowling from, did you make it
yourself or did you use an existing nosebowl and cowl. I have the Jabiru
5100 and it looks like I am going to have to fabricate my own cowling. How
was the oil cooling, I have been advised that for my engine the oil cooler
opening should not be real big. Keep up the good work maybe someday you
might fly into Janesville, WI and we will share stories about out 801's.

Hi Marion,
I don't know why I am asking, since I am building a 601 XL right now.
However, I am curious. Can you tell me the condition of the airplane?
Do you know of the HDS is compatible with LSA?
Thanks,
Paul
