When I put the crank on the lathe to polish it up and test it for straightness oil actually spun from the oil passages. So I had to wonder, how "heat treated" could it be if it didn't even get hot enough to burn the oil out? Well at least I know it's straight. http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:29:48 AM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Re: Looking for a 701 From: "Mike Hoffman" I see there is a 701 w/100hp Rotex posted at Winter Haven Airport, Winter Haven Florida.

My web site only repeats what I'd found so useful on other Zenith builder sites and it nearly got out of hand. Pleased you find my site a worthwhile visit. There are lots of things I've tried to improve in there that make handling, transport, weight & balance, etc., easier, but the credit goes to Chris Heintz for providing the momentum of such a great light plane. This plane is such a joy to fly!

Al and I double checked the firewall angle with a digital angle. We measured the engine angle on the plane and it measured 2.7 degrees down. Al and I spent the afternoon shimming and playing around with it without success. We thought of shimming the lower motor mount attach points to the fuselage and we would of had to pull it back more than an inch. I sent the mount back to Tennessee and the factory confirmed the problem. The people at Jabaru are first class! They said they would return my mount to Oshkosh (seeing that I live a mile or so from the airport). They used it in the Jabaru booth for display. I am putting the mount on this week and I will confirm with everyone when it's mounted. If I had a welder here at home, and I was good enough to fix such a critical part, I would have. I thought it was better to have the factory take a look at it. I did learn one thing! trial fit the mount first before you paint. I spent a lot of time priming and painting it before I fit it! Real bad move! I plan on building everything firewall forward first, then a complete disassembly, then paint and polish.

I used your idea of the screw on Panel top and its proved a good choice. Thank you for your website.

Plane is finished but needs: doors and do have the Lexan and frames and firewall forward. It has tundra tires, header and wing tanks and spring gear. A Subaru EA81 engine is included (non-running) but would need to be re-built. I do have it listed on Barnstormers. The asking price is $17,000. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tommy Walker" Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 2:24 PM Subject: Zenith-List: Looking for a 701 > > Listers, > > A gentleman called me yesterday wanting to know if there was a builder who > would build him a 701.
