    Thanks for the info, the G16 is a little bit heavy for the 701. And the out of business gear box company is a little scary too! I liked the Rotomax engine though, keep us posted on the progress and results.

    Mark, Thanks for your detailed and restrained answers for the mysterious "Flicka." "Flicka" will probably never be happy with Zenith, Vans or anyone he (or she) ever has contact with. Finding fault with others is sometimes done to elevate our own self image. Hm-m-m-m, maybe that's why I wrote this. Rich Hartwig N701ZH (still flying in the basement)

    Subject: Re: [Probable Spam] Ch-750 versus Ch-701
    X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (4.41) Chris, Wow! Now I understand what you meant when you referred to your 110% 701. You are really building a whole new airplane. Good luck with the project. It sounds like you have given it a lot of thought and hats off for getting a signed letter of approval. I can fully appreciate that Chris would not be eager to be doing a lot of plan review. My thought is that the 701 is great as is, but would be nearly perfect with a gross weight of 1250. So what I'm really doing is fishing for information regarding the feasability of upping the gross weight to 1250. Any thoughts, comments, and suggestions would be welcome from anyone.

Others on this list will attest that I have be en here on this list since the very beginning some 10+ years ago as a build er such as yourself. I am also the webmaster of www.ch601.org and www.ch701 .com as well as other aircraft sites non Zenair related. =0AI am a heavy su pporter of Plans building, providing seminars and forums on how to build fr om plans. I will also be doing a hands on forum at the Zenith open house in September. =0AI have donated my company's time to Homebuilthelp to produce a few DVD's on education of building Aircraft and components, receive no r oyalties for my time on these nor pay for time spent. I enjoyed doing them and have helped a great many people over the years.=0AI started Can-Zac Avi ation Ltd 3 years ago to support the Canadian Market and builder. =0A-=0A Now on to some of your questions, I may not get to all of them due to E-Mai l issues.=0A-=0AI have noticed that the USAzenair site, makes no explicit approval of the the JAB3300.=0AYet, on the CAN-ZEN site, they explicitly s ay that the JAB3300 is a suggested engine for the 701.=0A-=0AIT is Can-Za c, just to clarify. Zenith is a kit Aircraft manufacturer, they do not supp ort one engine over another nor do they provide support for engines, they d o make recommendations based on trials and designer=92s imput. They are sim ply a kit manufacturer. Can-Zac Aviation is a Distributor and as such we of ten have more opinions and information on helping our customers make some d ecisions. IN Both cases the companies only make recommendations to the buil ders and do not force you to install one thing or another. Look at Zenith =92s picture gallery and you will see all sorts of customized planes, Zenit h is proud of it=92s customers and there accomplishments, unlike many other companies that state no changes are allowed to the plane, cosmetic or not. Even one company that I know of will not allow you to use the planes name if you install a Corvair engine.=0A-=0AIS the Jabiru A suggested engine f or the 701, sure it is so is the Rotax and the Continental, we have FWF pac kages available from companies. Personally I would not install a Jabiru in the 701, I can think of no better engine for the 601 or 650 but I can only personally recommend the Rotax 912 for the 701. THE 750 may do well with th e Jabiru 3300 I will wait until I talk to Peter at Jabiru USAbefore I can c omment on that one. =0A-=0AIs the ZEN-CAN QB 701 a little stronger up fro nt for the slightly higher HP?=0AExact same kit, we only add labour=0A- =0AI'mseeing MORE&MORE JAB3300's on 701's, it seems to be the best bang for the buck.=0AFinal costs between the 3300 and the 912ULS plus FWF brings bo th to about the same costs in Canada. The performance of the 912ULS and lig hter weight for the 701 airframe make it a better choice in my opinion.=0A -=0AMore interesting the can-zen site makes it sound like the O-200 is an option, yet that is 215LB's even for the new TMX O-200 LSA engine.=0AIs th is a typo? A different engine? A cut&paste from the 601 an nobody reads or edits the site?=0ANo Typo and yes I read the website several times before I post it ( yes I still make mistakes) There are many 701=92s out there with the 0-200 and there owners seem happy with their choice. It is the philoso phy of the Company that you may be having an issue with, it is not a spoon fed kit you do have options to suit your needs, if you need to install an 0 -200 to suit your budget, hey I say go for it. Realize performance will not meet the 912ULS but neither will costs. =0A-=0ALet'saddress the basics; You say "I don't understand why you have a hard time, getting info from zen ith". Nobody ever said zenith was known for customer-service. I know from p ersonal experience from calling and/or emailing that my email never get ret urned ( info@zenair.com ), and that when I call its always some old gal tha t is hard of hearing.=0A-=0APlease remember that the Folks at Zenith and the typical builder are friendly people on the whole. They are not a retire d military or a hard sales tactic type to push a sale over on you. If it fi ts and meets your needs then they will help you the best they can. Zenith i s well known for great customer service, you don=92t need a friend at the f actory, you just need a civil, friendly mannerism and though sometimes thin gs may fall through the cracks like E-Mails then simply call and ask for Ro ger or Caleb on the Tech side and Shirley on the order and money side. As f or Shirleys hearing, she is a strong woman, that shoots it straight and wil l not tolerate foolishness or an un-civil manner. IF you go in with a huff you will get a wall, if you are sweet she will be chocolate.=0A-=0APaying someone $20k up front cash, that you don't know, is a very risky biz propo sition, Zen we are led to believe is quite strong, their terms are explicit 50% cash up front for an order. I'm sure if you want to pay more they'll t ake it.=0AI agree, and constantly marvel at people spending large sums of m oney on new companies. Zenair has been in business for over 36 years with o ne of the strongest track records in the business. It is one of the reasons why most people are attracted it is not just the Chris Heintz designs. It is the company support, the history and the fact that they are one of the l argest Aircraft Kit Companies in the World.=0A-=0AI have had the order fo r the CH-750 plans for a month now, and they're telling me November for the plans, and the same for the wings. I learned that when the told me the rud der was the same. Since then I have never ever gotten another question answ ered.=0A-=0AYou learn from past mistakes, when the 601XL plans were first released many changes were needed and updates were often done. In the STOL CH750 the plans are available for the plans builder and someone is working on plans building the plane now to ensure everything is as right as possib le.=0A-=0AThe people at QSP people at EAA-Arlington told me that the same people in the Philippines that were doing vans QB were doing that for Zeni th, but that Zen had got pushed to the back of the queue, and thus was goin g elsewhere. That could be what your talking about. I live near Van's, I lo oked at some of the QB's just for the hell, They have piles to the ceiling of them at their factory.- I wasn't that impressed with the flush rivetin g that said, given that zen is pull-rivet its different, I have never seen a zen QB. My hunch is that SA quality could be worse as these new have even less experience basically Van's taught the people in Philippines how to bu ild QB's, but they have so much work, Zenith got pushed out.=0AWrong inform ation, You would have to talk to one of the Heintz to get a clarification. I know that the 601 and 650 series QBK were being done in Ontariofor the AM D version and that is where I got my QBK=92s for the Canadian Market as wel l as the Northern U.S. Market.=0A-=0ATo me throwing down $10k-$20K cash t o an unknown company in Mexico, MO is a big gamble. To me its essential to ask questions. To me the release of the 750 is like the 801, how was that f or the first adopters??=0AZenith is likely the largest kit company in the w orld, I would also say that they have more flying planes then Vans. Please ask your questions in a civil manner to the fellow builders on this list, h owever you should also do a little more research. If Zenith is an Unknown t o you then I believe you have not looked at Google yet.=0A-=0AIn the RV w orld there are 100's build-log websites, where you can email directly to a builder, and get real info about a company. In the Zenith world, it appears that MOST builders aren't HTML/HTTP geeks, which means is there are very f ew websites that contain good technical information, ran by a person who kn ows their stuff, and thinks like an engineer, because they are an engineer. =0A-=0APersonal opinion, the RV world is populated by a very high majorit y of Militaryand Ex-Military, these are people with a regimented lifestyle and necessary bonus to building a plane in solid rivets. They may have bett er websites due to lifestyle and availability. Zenith members though they c ome from all styles and walks in life, they tend to be more relaxed, the 70 1 I believe is in more farms and barns then any other model out there. Many don=92t even have internet, they are sitting with their buds.=0AHoweverthe re are a great many websites with uncountless hours spent by builders of Ze nith products. Though once they are done building they tend to disappear, a s they spend all the spare time flying.=0A-=0A-=0ALet'stake the last an swer, "if your not happy move on". Well zenith doesn't answer questions, an d you did answer a few. Basically you told me that you have paid 100% of AS K PRICE, and your going to sit like a good pup and wait for Uncle Heintz to ship your toys when they're good & ready.=0A-=0AFlick, condescending and ignorant in one sentence, it is easy to understand your lack of responses, your posts upset me on a first read and it takes a few tries to write a re sponse that is not as strong. Zenith, as stated before is a kit company, if the design is not suited to your needs then please don=92t buy it. We do n ot have sales men, at the shows are the same guys that work the factory flo ors. It is your decision, no pressure no hassels. I believe from some of yo ur other posts that you have had a problem in the past , sounds also like y ou had issue with the Van=92s world. Please keep in mind, different crowds here. We are not here to fleece every cent out of you, as you inferred in a nother post about builders centers. Some designs do so and lend themselves to doing as such. That just isn=92 the fact here. Heck I just bought myself a new Truck, a 97 Explorer to replace my 76 ford Van. That is not the sign of someone who fleeces it=92s customers.=0A-=0ALastly, there seems to be some tangential misunderstanding that asking questions means you think Zen ith sucks. That'sa theory of weak minds. I think asking questions is essent ial. Getting answers to those questions shouldn't be so hard.=0A-=0AFlick , It is not asking questions that is a problem, that is why builders have F orums and list to help each other out. They are not the company, but typica lly will support their decisions and other builders while and after the bui lding process has begun for them. It is your aggressive attitude that leave s many bewildered and defensive, your first post was offensive to a few rea ders myself included, as such many would not respond to your questions. The Uncle Chris line is used in a derogatory manner upsetting many others, as you have seen a few responses to. -=0A-=0ANo questions needed, the fact s on the info sheet" that's a recurring theme here, 'no questions needed' j ust EAT the SLOP in front of you, and be a good camper, otherwise Uncle-Hei ntz might send you off to purgatory. There are all kinds of people. Too man y of these happy clubs become a family, and the family's gatekeepers protec ts the family from outsiders, who just might ask tough questions.=0AI have a very hard time being civil with this Question. It is not a surprise that it elicits an angry response. However if an individual is used to spending life cheating or being cheated then understanding can follow. I don=92t kno w which Flick has been. =0A-=0AUnless you have placed your butt into the 750 then the info sheet is all you have, plus the recommendations of those who have sat and flown in the plane of which due to It being a new model ar e very few. For those who bought site unseen, not is simply =93eating the s lop=94 it is a decision based on respect and values of the Company, known b y those who have made a deposit sight unseen.=0A-=0AYou will find that Ze nith and Chris Heintz is hold of the highest respect in the industry, it is not just a blind calling it is a respect that has been well earned over a great many years. Chris Heintz is not only a designer devoted to making the kit industry and his designs available to the average person. But he has a lso devoted a lot of time to the average persons learning. In Canadaa lot o f our Aviation categories and regulations are written verbatim from Chris =92s recommendations. =0A-=0ARead the websites, try to be a little more c ivil and less aggressive and everyone here will be happy to answer the ques tions they are capable of. This list is a great bunch of people and having them on your side is a bonus.

    From: "flicka750" <flicka750@gmail.com>
    The Fsat-Build Kit is supplied "firewall-back" to allow for easy installation of your choice of engine, including Rotax 912S,Jabiru 3300, Continental O-200 and more. The kit includes all airframe parts, including landing gear , standard fuel system, Acrylic formed Windshield, controls, and all hardware required to finish the airframe assembly. Standard features of the airframe kit include electric elevator trim tab, extended rear baggage compartment, Tundra Tires with hydraulic disk brakes, and more (see equipment list for details). Not included in the Fast- build kit: powerplant and instruments packages, and paint. [quote="billmileski"]Flicka, Dear Beloved BMILKESKI, I'm a scratch BUILDER. I want to know how they're putting O-200's into a CH-701, given that its 215LBs for the LSA version. NOBODY wants to answer my question, and 'Mark Townsend' seems to have fell off the planet, which is odd, as usually when there is a "2+2=" question he's front and center. I want to know how they're QB works, because in MY CH-701 plans it says MAX WEIGHT for engine 180LB's. Are they putting lead in the rear fuselage? Is the usable weight of their QB product #400LBS? My humble opinion is that this assertion that they're QB-701 will support 3300 or O-200 is a pre-sale myth. That said maybe they're putting a Zodiac 601 FireWall Foward? > > > > > > An observation.

    I think your only the second opinion I have seen from this group.

I completely agree, I'll ask tough question, identify that one or two people out the hundreds in this silly 'Uncle Heintz' Cult, and then know who to go direct to should I ever have a question. This group is very, very funny. I'm think about writing a how-to-start a kit-plane biz, and run it into the ground article. All this non-sense about given CASH up front for a KIT, when most of the companys are going out of business. I'm sure that VAN's & Zenith will be the last man standing.

    Hey Flick How old are you 15 or 16 It isn't the fact that you ask questions that bothers me. It's your overall attitude. Judging from what I've seen so far and the fact that you are UNWILLING to reveal your name, I believe you have no real interest in this list or what it stands for. I believe your sole purpose here is to cause disruption to an otherwise valuable asset to all of us who are sincere builders. Get a life, grow up (I've seen your kind on lists before.)

    Jean Paul, You are pissing in the wind if you persist with any give and take with this type of individual. I have learned a long ago that the only way to get rid of someone, is to completely ignore them. Believe me, sooner or later, they will go away. It might take a little while, but when they find out that they can't be confrontational with anyone they will disappear in to the sunset, never to be seen, and especially heard from again.. There is nothing more frustrating they trying to pick a fight with someone who completely ignores you.

    All, Anybody have any hints about scratch building the cabin sides. A couple of questions are: 7F9-9SP is only 730mm long, but the side is 746mm, which way do I favor the length, flush at the rear or flush at the front of the side. 7F9-2, does this start at Section A-A and get mounted forward and basically stops at 7F9-4 (have a good Labor Day weekend everybody!!!!!) (Colorado Balloon Classic is this weekend, I have been crewing/flying since 1982) Thanks, Keith Ashcraft (real name) CH701-scratch (real plane) N 38.9940 (real coordinates) W 105.1305 Alt. 9,100' (real altitude) August 28, 2008 (real date) (sorry, I REALly couldn't stop myself) ________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may be proprietary and are in tended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addr essed.

    Subject: A Question for Mark Townsend
    Flick, Please don't miss understand, I in no way mind hard intelligent questions, if not intelligent then at lease reasonable or even civil will do. You have brought up this same line several times but you still do not see the value in reading. In no way does the paragraph below states that I install any engines on a QBK, I build the airframe as stated by a very simple term called Firewall-back, engine choice is your choice, not mine. I place those 3 engines as a choice due to Zenith having an engine mount available for each of them, weather made by them or other suppliers. The 0-200 is an available choice and there are a few flying in Canada and the U.S. I make no opinion to a persons choice, but I freely offer mine. Now if you actually looked around a bit more instead of finding one paragraph that you miss read ( or didn't read) you would see my link to the Ready to Fly model for Canadians. Look Close, because on this model I do install a motor, Guess What it is actually a Rotax 912ULS! Wow, did I not state in another letter previous to this that the Rotax is my personal choice and one that I would install. I would not install an 0-200 in a 701, even though I have installed auto conversions in my personal planes, I have told several clients that I would not install one in there plane. I am sure you didn't read my previous post, or your last series of posts would have been different. I am sorry I must have made it too long, to a point where you skipped over it or just didn't bother. Too bad I answered all the questions you had that I was aware of and even offered friendly advice about using the list. In addition. 2+21 2+2=640 2+2=party 2+2=flyin 2+2=4 Listers, I do not moderate lists, I believe any intelligent, reasonable person should be allowed to have there say good or bad. Bad, Is normally just a misunderstanding that needs to be corrected. However, in this case with Flicka after reading today's posts following my response, I believe that maybe members would wish to talk to Matt, I will not it is up to the list members. I do request that if civility suddenly appears, everyone deserves another chance to become a contributing member.

    Me too, I was at work in the middle of a meeting when it popped up on my screen and burst out laughing! The other guy could not figure out what he said that was so funny. --- On Thu, 8/28/08, ZodieRocket <zodierocket@hsfx.ca> wrote: > From: ZodieRocket <zodierocket@hsfx.ca> > Subject: RE: Zenith701801-List: A Question for Mark Townsend > To: zenith701801-list@matronics.com > Date: Thursday, August 28, 2008, 6:17 PM > "ZodieRocket" <zodierocket@hsfx.ca> > > > Duhh, I didn't catch it till now, your right it is > funny and the wife is > looking at me funny again as the coffee comes out my nose. > > Mark Townsend > Can-Zac Aviation Ltd. > president@can-zacaviation.com > www.can-zacaviation.com > > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com > [mailto:owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com] On > Behalf Of Dan > Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 6:57 PM > To: zenith701801-list@matronics.com > Subject: Re: Zenith701801-List: A Question for Mark > Townsend > > <dwilde@clearwire.net> > > MacDonald Doug wrote: > Doug > <dougsnash@yahoo.com> > > > > Uh, with bolts > > > > Do Not Archive > > > > > > > >> > >> Above is from the CanZac website. > >> > >> Perhaps somebody can tell me how Mark is putting > >> O-200's into a Ch-701?? > >> > >> -------- > >> flicka750(AT)gmail > >> > >> > Great answer Doug.

    7F-9-9SP is flush at the rear. I can get you a picture if you need it and 7F9-2 does go from Section A-A to 7F9-4 but it is hard to see as mine was part of the components kit and built at the factory. Let me know if you need the pics.
