| Subject: | Re: long wing 701 with VG's |
Gday Jerry,
Great to hear of your success!
I can't quite understand why Zenith clings to that unusually short wing
for a STOL aircraft. In the very beginning he was designing the 701 to
fit the Canadian ultralight category which had a very tight weight
restiction, so maybe it was necessary then, but not now. Only need to
look at the performance of Super Cubs to see what a long wing does....
Now you've just demonstrated it as well......
Are you going to Oshkosh this year??
On Tuesday we are off to some Camel Races in outback Aus. Should be
about a 30 hr round trip. Hoping for tailwinds all the way,
Cheers,
JG

I just finished the 5 hour flight test period after adding 3 feet of
wing span, strut fairings, slat removal, and VG's to my 701. Results
are impressive.
My 701 is highly modifed with a Cam125 Honda Civic for an engine as
well. Empty weight is 800# From the begining, it was built to be a
heavy long wing aircraft.
Flight tests were conducted at about 1150# gross.
Takeoffs were about the same as with slats.
Landings may be a bit longer, however I have not fully explored the
use of flaps, The aircraft now handles better with flaps enployed. 5 hrs
is certainly not enough to give a comprehensive test of all
configurations.
Climb is about 100 FPM more , Stall speed is about 2 mph less, cruise
speed is at least 10 mph more.
You can now make a decent power off landing.
Power off glide improved from a decent of 900" per minuite to about
650 ' per min at 60 MPH. Fuel burn at 90+ MPH is less than 4 gal per hr.
I do want to put the slats back on and see what effect that has,
however it seems that it will be difficult to give up very many of the
benefits.
More later, Jerry

What was wrong with the existing list on KRnet?
www.krnet.org/corvaircraft_inst.html
Does this have anything to do with Jeff being banned (again) from the above
list?

| Subject: | Pitot tube warning |
I knew the airspeed wasn't right, but I continued the takeoff anyway. Flew around
at 15 - 20 mph indicated for an hour, and landed.
Seems that the poly tube supplied by Zenith that was inside the cockpit, under
the tinted lexan had deterioated in three years. This plane was always outside
on the ramp, but it always had a Kennon cover over it.
Suggest that everyone check the pitot tube tube, and cover it, paint it or something.

Nothing.
I just thought the more the merrier?
It's not about who's list is better or what ever; it's just about getting the Corvair
message out from as many avenues as possible.
I would run radio adds if I could afford it. [Wink]
I am still subscribed to the Corvaircraft list.
