| Subject: | CH 801 drawing list for jigs |
This is probably a pretty tough request, but any one with CH 801 experience
know which drawings have jig patterns, and or are the jigs supplied with the
kit or builder fabricated?
I just wanted to get a head start on jigs, if the components are not
supplied with the kits.
Thanks

All-
The ability to add pictures to posts has greatly increased the value
of the list. The problem with the archives is that all the necessary
information to complete a task is dispersed. I'm just as guilty as
anyone when it comes to sharing progress real-time, but I've noticed a
number of complete "Technical Reports" in the past few months such as
Eric's that give all the information to complete a complex task in one
location. (The Home Depot bending brake, Gary Boothe's flanging dies, my
procedure for installing HDS gearbox bolts and God knows how many more
buried in the great archive dumpster).
Creation and posting of these compilations is the greatest
contribution a lister can make, but everyone else is at a loss as to how
to easily retrieve them from the archives. I save them in a personal
"Keepers" file, but I trust the Matronics database more than my hard
drive.Thus, my suggestion:
Matt, could you create a file for Technical Reports and assign a
posting password? In other words, when a lister like Eric posts his
compilation he types at the bottom, say, "TR Archive-Canopy" (Sort of on
the same lines as "Do not archive")? Then, listers would have easy
access to complete procedures. It wouldn't hurt to make this applicable
to existing archive files. If someone comes across one of these posting
gems while rummaging through the dumpster, he can make it easily
accessable.
What do you think, people?

Great idea Bill.
I saved Erics instructions for canopy fitting, as I am sure many on the list
did as well. Like you stated, there are many more excellent "Technical
Reports" that would be so helpful...if they could be more easily accessed.
You fellas are great assets to us inexperience builders.!!!!!!

| Subject: | Corvair Engine - 1964 vs 65-69...? |
Hi Patrick
If you are considering the Corvair engine I would strongly suggest that you
purchase William Wynnes conversion manual. It will give you all the
information you require to make educated decisions, including all the
information required to complete the engine and purchasing parts etc.
If you have any questions William is unbelievably helpful.
Go to his website www.flycorvair.com and have a look. In my opinion (for
what it is worth) the Corvair is a viable option mainly due to the excellent
builder support that is available.

| Subject: | Re: Key switch info |
Hi Aaron
Sorry for delay in reply actually found weather fit to
fly Friday afternoon.
Beware if you have a Bendix or A C S switch for confusion there are two
terminals marked GRD which are not connected together.
For Rays 0 200 the connections we have used are as follows, he has 2
impulse coupled mags fitted.
BAT + supply
S to starter solenoid coil
grd To screen of cables to left & right Mag Both screens are earthed
at the Mags.
R Core to Right Mag (R connected to grd in Off & Left Mag
position)
L Core to Left Mag (L connected to grd in Off & Right Mag
Position)
If you only have one impulse coupler on left Mag then Link R to GRD (other
ground terminal) [this GRD terminal is connected to other grd terminal
when switch is in start position] I did have drawing of back of switch but
it must be in hanger so you will have to check which GRD terminal is which
is which with a meter.
I believe I got the circuit From Aeroelectric book.
The switch manufacturers also recommend you fit a discharge diode across the
starter solenoid coil, one was supplied with a new switch we bought to
replace an old one we found had a intermittent start contact.
As others have pointed out the other terminals are for vibrator retarded
starting of which I have no knowledge and is a very old system.

I agree, good idea, Bill (Naumuk). In addition to "Technical Reports", how
about "Flight Test" or "Flight Report". Sure, we could get out of hand pretty
quick with these sub-categorization but these two would cover 96.25% of the good

Hi Ken,
I'd assume you're building a tri-gear, so a trailer needn't be longer
than 60% the length of the
plane. I had to make my bed wide enough for the gear, long enough to
allow a 4 to 5 foot overhang
in back and low enough to be able to pull it up and on. Wings were on
their own rack and trailered
separately. This trailer just fits in the right forward side of my
t-hangar and is about 15 ft long hitch to tail end.
It was a free-bee, but required a total rebuild of the bed and tongue.
I also added a winch, a jack stand
and 3 ramps. It doesn't go much past 50 mph with this arrangement, but
it works well enough.

If you need specific data and dimensions, I can take notes and get
them. Don't think the 701 has
a radically different gear footprint from a 601 HDS.

Craig,
Did you buy the whole kit, or some components? When are you scheduled
for delivery? I have completed the slats, flaps, rudder, right wing and
am finishing the left one. Fuselage kit scheduled for delivery in 2 or 3
weeks. The only jigs you need are for the slats and rudder. I'll see if
I can figure out my scanner again.

Craig,
I forgot. You can find the rudder drawing if you go to the 801 home page
and click on assembly manuals. Then go to drawing 8RU02. That is the
drawing you need for the rudder cradle. They will send you a metal
pattern to cut out the curve for the slat jig you need to make. Look at
the slat drawings, "positioning of the skin" for the jig instructions.
Let me know if I can help.

Mark-
Are they readily available through these sites? If so, I was
unaware.

Bill this is Exactly why HYPERLINK "http://www.ch601.org"www.ch601.org
and HYPERLINK "http://www.ch701.com"www.ch701.com were created. Though
it is nice to have them in the archives , putting these nuggets in a
website that is accessible for all and organized to some degree is far
more beneficial.

All-
The ability to add pictures to posts has greatly increased the value
of the list. The problem with the archives is that all the necessary
information to complete a task is dispersed. I'm just as guilty as
anyone when it comes to sharing progress real-time, but I've noticed a
number of complete "Technical Reports" in the past few months such as
Eric's that give all the information to complete a complex task in one
location. (The Home Depot bending brake, Gary Boothe's flanging dies, my
procedure for installing HDS gearbox bolts and God knows how many more
buried in the great archive dumpster).
Creation and posting of these compilations is the greatest
contribution a lister can make, but everyone else is at a loss as to how
to easily retrieve them from the archives. I save them in a personal
"Keepers" file, but I trust the Matronics database more than my hard
drive.Thus, my suggestion:
Matt, could you create a file for Technical Reports and assign a
posting password? In other words, when a lister like Eric posts his
compilation he types at the bottom, say, "TR Archive-Canopy" (Sort of on
the same lines as "Do not archive")? Then, listers would have easy
access to complete procedures. It wouldn't hurt to make this applicable
to existing archive files. If someone comes across one of these posting
gems while rummaging through the dumpster, he can make it easily
accessable.
What do you think, people?

19 ft overall,with no prop ,rudder and horizontal stabiliser. Maybe
other 701's would be longer. My unit is powered by a Subaru EA 81 .The
rear of the motor is only about 4 inch's from the nose gear assembly.
Hope that helps

Listers,
Can someone provide the length of CH701 with tail removed? I need to
get a trailer long enough to haul a completed airframe with tail and
wings removed.
Many thanks,

| Subject: | Re: A little off topic |
Not done yet but here is what I have so far.
Planning 20hrs
Empennage 201
Engine 37
Facilities 100
Miscellaneous 10
Tools 100
Wings 404
Total to date 872
Received the plans in mid October 2005 and have been keeping a daily log of time
and activities.
I am working on skinning the first, Left wing, but all ribs and spars are made
and set for both wings. I make both left and right parts when I can.
Figure I have another year to go.
