Subject: Re: Zenith-List: N701ZX 1st flight --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Johann G." 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. Johann G. Iceland.

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. Chuck D.

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.

However, I am curious. Can you tell me the condition of the airplane? Do you know of the HDS is compatible with LSA?
