Sounds like it may not be a very big deal. Joe ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:23:26 AM PST US From: "ZodieRocket" Subject: Zenith701801-List: New 801 in the sky Hi Folks, well after quite awhile of on and off work C-FHUC is in the air. It is a proud 801 with a Lyc 0-360, autopilot and full IFR with Grand rapids combo units. First flight was on Monday, with a cowling repair to follow. A little too much was removed for the ring gear and during circuits the cowling pulled forward into the prop. Tues saw another hour and cht's and oil were still a bit high, some small trimming ( 3 different times) and installation of 35 deg lip got all temps in range. Wed and thur saw me chasing wires to the magnetometer and swinging the compass 8 times before I got it to work. Friday was engine time and the fire sleeved oil lines from the oil cooler were too close and had to re-routed. But I added another 4 hrs of hobbs time on Friday. This is the first time this week I have sat on the computer to catch up on a few E-Mails. It has been a tiring week for up at 5:30 am and not getting home before midnight every day this week. Now I am heading out the door again as we have weather coming in this afternoon at about 2pm and I would like to add another 4 hours to the meter. All handling of the 801 is excellent, it tracks and curises like a dream. I have a lot of hours in a 701 and find the 801 everything the 701 is but a lot smoother and stable in the air.

My 801 had almost the same teething pains. T hese things fly soo slowly the air needs some "suggestions" to move prop erly through and around the plane.
