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.

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.
Thanks,
Ken Ryan

I am not sure how long I will have E-Mail, but I will try to at least get o
ne letter off. =0A-=0AHello Flick, as a new person you do not know me and
as such you may find me just another money grubbing person from a company
after your hard earned cash. 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

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?

reason the FAA requires that you do at least 51% of the work, and that a special
airworthiness certificate can be granted, is to support the spirit of individual
experimentation. There is a lot of joy in building your own aircraft,
by integrating the many opinions out there on every topic, and achieving a unique
end result.

as we move forward, I don't know.

the next guy with a 701. If you finally get there, you may find that the practicalities

I think your only the second opinion I have seen from this group. Most of the people
here seem to be selling DVD's, QB's, Build-Assist, or diaper-service; I'm
not sure what the others are selling.
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. That said, when the
FAA is done, even they may not survive.
The self-destruction of this hobby is not because of poor scratch-builders like
myself the the problem is all the rich people paying to have plane built for
them. The problem is all the QB's and builder-assist folks getting $120/hr, I
find the this whole hobby very entertaining.

I think I understand. If someone asks a question, just tell them that they're a
dissatified human being, and they should just jump off a cliff. Rather than offering
just insipid advice, why not remain silent?
Given that the inference here is that your an expert on 701 satisfaction, perhaps
you can tell us how CANZAC is putting O-200's (215LB'S) INTO 701'S??

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.) OK Prove to
us that I am wrong.

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)

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.

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.
