A possibility might be to wait for the CH750, which is reportedly bigger than the
CH701, and might be a better candidate for the Corvair.

I hate that! :o Last night I searched for corvair and 701 but I couldn't find
a single topic. This morning they pop up... well like pop corn. :)
Guess I had typing problems last night.

| Subject: | Re: Getting all the little Chips out |
Hey Patrick,
Excellent question. I just waited to rivet all of the skins until the entire
skin-fitting process was done - leading edge included. I ended up having to dis-assemble
the entire leading edge and remove the top and bottom skins so I could
deburr the spar cap angle and clean out inside, but getting the chips and
shavings out and deburring is that important to me. Since this is my hobby and
I have no social life, the build for me is really about doing the best job I
can - not necessarily the quickest. I'm definitely not the speediest of the bunch.
Tape works great, as well as compressed air. Just don't seat chips and shavings
deeper into nooks and crannies by blasting on them too aggressively with an
air gun. I'm coming off sounding like "Mr. Clean", but just ask my wife, that's
definitely NOT the case. There are actual aluminum shavings in my bed. Scary.

| Subject: | Jabiru engine choughing |
Hey guys/gals: I purchased a Jabiru powered CH 601 HD last week (in
California). I did not have any problems flying it home (Central Florida) But
when I
went out yesterday, the engine wants to cough every minute or so. It really
gets your attention.
I have removed the cowling, checked the fuel for any foreign matter and
looked carefully over all the engine connections to ensure that nothing has
come loose or changed. So far it looks great. I must admit that I do not know
what to check next.
I was told prior to the purchase that the carburetor has the
modifications for the leaner burn, and it ran great on the way home. Over 25 hours
up at
altitude (11,500 or 9,500) and burned about 4.5 gallons per hour at around
1400 degrees EGT.
What do the Jabiru engine experts suggest?
Thanks
Lynn

Hello group ,yes it can be done the same as the Sonex .This morning I
was amazed at how easy it was to form the leading edge skin using the
vacuum method .It only took about one hour with the help of my lovely
wife . The results are very satisfactory.

Hi Lynn,
I won't claim any expertise with the 3300 but I really enjoy mine.
Why not contact Andy Silvester, your local distributor in FL, to ask
him. Andy is always tactful and thorough in his answers and usually
prompt. He will be the person you'll need for replacement parts and
advice through your Jab flying days.
http://www.suncoastjabiru.com/<http://www.suncoastjabiru.com/> A phone
call Monday would be ideal.
My suggestion would be you check all fuel strainers (if any) and
especially the gascolator screen for foreign matter. Check the coil to
magnets gap on both coils - should be .010. Go to Pete's valuable info
site
http://www.usjabiru.com/technical-tips.html<http://www.usjabiru.com/techn
ical-tips.html> and see if the "idle adjustment" settings are correct.
Is this a "newer" engine with hydraulic lifters? If solid lifters, when
did previous owner do last adjustment? How many hours on engine?
Any possibility of water in gas since you're now in FL?
best of luck jeff HDS/3300 305 hours

| Subject: | Re: CH701 Usable Fuel |
Has anyone used a 3rd smaller tank in the fuselage, by plumbing both wing tanks
to it and the plumbing this to the engine? It would only take a couple of gallons
or less. And if you made the tank tall and narrow and place the outlet on
the bottom, then most maneuvers would not effect fuel flow.

Hey Jeff: I forgot to include in my first message that I had checked the
magnetos (New coils, rotors and caps less than 50 hours ago) and they showed
about 15 RPM drop per side, but the engine did the same thing on left, right or
both mags. The engine is the older, solid lifter variety and the previous
owner states, as well as his log book entries, that the lifter clearances have
been checked. I did not find any water in the fuel. The engine has less than
150 hours since new.

| Subject: | Questions on regs for E-AB Aircraft |
Two regulatory questions on E-AB aircraft for all the reg guru's:
1. Are E-AB aircraft required to carry an ELT?
2. Is it legal to sell a portion of your E-AB aircraft in the interest of creating
a partnership, even if the new partner has not contributed to the aircraft's
construction?
Thanks for any responses.

| Subject: | aileron trim kit |
After getting all the in put from the "Heavy Wing Subject" It would
appear to me the best avenue to take is the aileron trim kit from
zenith . It appears that weight , fuel, balance is always going to be a
on going issue. It would better to just touch a switch an keep every
thing in balance. Any body know what the kit goes for ?

Lists for $330 on the Zenith website. I think that would be your cost
whether it is ordered as an option when you buy the wing kit, the entire
kit, or as an afterthought.

Like Debo I too assemble everything and drill everything to final rivet size.
Then it all gets taken apart, deburred, wiped down with alcohol or lacquer thinner,
then I use a two part self etching primer. Let it dry 24hrs then reassemble
it and rivet.

| Subject: | Re: In lite of the recent price discussion...CH 701 |
My 2 cents worth. I think you will regret it if you put a 230 lb engine on
your 701. My Suzuki weighs in the neighborhood of 200 lbs. I had to put 30
pounds of ballast as far aft as I could to eliminate a nose heavy condition
and lack of up elevator authority. In the process, what with the extra 50
lbs of engine and the 30 pounds of ballast, I have lost 80 lbs of useable
load. The empty airplane weighs 0ver 700 lbs. So, with a full fuel load
and my 190 lbs, I can carry a 90 lb passenger. The trade off, of course,
is less fuel and less range.

| Subject: | RE: Jabiru engine coughing |
Lynn,
Don't know if it will help, but I once had the terminal end of one of my
spark plugs (the little screw on tip) come completely loose.
I noticed it when I removed the plug wire and saw the threaded end where
the tip screws on. The tip was still in the plug wire boot end. I had
had a "more than normal" rpm drop on a mag check (usually it is not
really noticeable) and was going to check my plugs to see if one was
fouling.
I have found some of the terminal tip ends loose during my preventative
maintenance checks and now always make sure they are all tightened.
Could you better describe the conditions under which the cough occurs?
Could you also better define the "cough"? And of course, if you do find
the problem. please let us all know the corrective action.
Based on my experience, I believe you are really going to like flying
behind the Jab.
