    Subject: Re: 801 wing root rib
    From: "bcchurch" <bcchurch@yahoo.com>
    John, Thanks for the great reply. I've re-measured my root ribs and main ribs from both left and right sides and all are the same length. Since the root rib attaches 1) to the inside of the rear spar doubler and 2) to the inside of the main spar extrusions, then I would say that the root rib needs to be shorter than the main ribs by the combined thickness of the rear doubler and the main spar extrusion. That combined thickness is about 6-7 mm which exactly corresponds to the deflection I see in the rear spar when I locate the root rib. I'm thinking of cutting off the rear flange on the root rib and using a short piece of std L to join the root rib to the rear spar doubler. I will, naturally, call and ask Zenith about this. But, I would also appreciate comments / opinions from other builders. Please tell me if I'm doing something stupid. On another note, what is the proper term for the thin sheet in the main spar that connects the top and bottom extrusions? I'm talking about the sheet with all the lightneing holes. I call it a "web" but I'm sure there's a better term. Thanks, Ben -------- Ben Church CH801 Racine, WI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 5057#205057

    Subject: Re: 801 wing root rib
    I think "web" is the correct term. Std. L is probably okay but I made a piece with a long enough flange mating up with the rib to put two rows of rivets into the rib, parallel to the rear spar. I wouldn't be surprised if ZAC changed the shape of the root rib because it is so difficult to get a nice smooth curve in the root skin, and maybe made some the wrong length. I thought Roger told me once that they had actually changed the root rib to have a separate flange riveted on the rear end--but that was about 7 or 8 years ago so who knows? When I was fitting my root skins, I had to make a dummy out of .016 aluminum, trimming and fitting, trimming and fitting etc. ad nauseum, then duplicate it with .025. But even then, I chased a bubble 'round and 'round and 'round trying to get the skin to lay flat on the rear spar, the root rib, and the flange attached between #1 rib and the inboard end of the main top skin.

    I agree John. I made mine twice on one side and three times on the other, neot including the carboard ones I also made. They are far from perfect, but I decided I'd live with them. I wish ZAC would have them moulded out of plastic to simplify making the darned things. The wing tips could be made from plastic, too. Would save a week or more of work, and after banging my head against the wall making them I'd gladly pay the difference! ----- Original Message ----- From: John Swartout To: zenith701801-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 12:29 PM Subject: Re: Zenith701801-List: Re: 801 wing root rib I think "web" is the correct term.

    Bob. Sorry it took so long for a reply, had to find my copy of a catalog. It is called a Ram Air Pressure Cap, # E-481-000. In my catalog ( May 2008) it has a price of $37.95. The tube sticks straight up, but you can bend it the way you need it, once you see what direction you need with it mounted to your tank. Mark S. 701/912ULS

    If the object of this exhaustive exercise is to get the tanks to flow evenly, what happens if one vent gives a tiny bit more pressure than the other? I had the factory caps, had uneven flow because of bubbles, put a valve in each line, problem solved (since 2006).............Fred Sanford..N9701 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 5144#205144

    Best part about pressurizing the tanks is that you won't stain the top of the wing from loosing fuel due to the negative pressure. Bob Spudis

    Hi guys I just went out and looked at my completed wings and found that one was very straight at the root area but the other wing dips in at the rear spar at rib #1 only about a millimeter. I'm not worried about it but will be looking at the rest when I get things closed up. 6-7 millimeters would suck!

    The only way we could clean the brown stains of the gasoline in the wings.. .- before we installed the valves (the wings are-painted yellow using D upont Imron),- was with- a rag using- gasoline.-- Believe it or n ot,--we tried diferent brands of degreaser- and soap (both liquid or in spray) and did not work.- only polish will do, but that way the paint will not last several years,- later we will- had-yellow and green (ci nc cronmate) wings :-) - we used during that time, plain gasoline- from the gascolator test to the rag, here we use Premium auto gas from Pemex, only brand here for the Rota x 912, and Magna (regular) for the 2 cycles... No more stains- since we installed the valve in each tank. Try it over there might work... - Saludos Gary Gower.

    From: "mwpicard" <mwpicard@gmail.com>
    At about 20 hours on the hobbs, my 701 with Rotax 912 ULS also exhibited partial fuel flow and I had a number of forced landings before we finally found the problem. It turned out to be a piece of rubber hose debris in the fuel supply line installed by ROTAX at the factory. So two cylinders were not getting fuel when the throttle was fully open and the rubber debris happened to oclude the small opening on the inlet side of the motor. I recommend you disassemble all the factory installed fuel lines and blow them out to make sure they are 100% clean. I am surprised this could get through the Rotax quality control. It definitely could be a killer. If you need more info contact Doug at Quality Sport Planes as he found the problem. Regarding the oil canning luggage compartment bulkhead. I would really like to cut a large retangular window in it and install a pane of latex with bolts all around. I would like to see all the way back into the plane. Everyone so far has strongly disadvised it saying that it could weaken the plane. I cant see how that flimsy oil canning bulkhead could be so structural....anyone? thanks, Martin Picard 701 en route to Australia (on a ship) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 5212#205212

    From: "mwpicard" <mwpicard@gmail.com>
    One more update regarding floats for the 701. After having to cancel my order because Can Zac disappeared on me and other clients on this list, I STILL havent got a response or even a cancellation acknowledgment from him or Zenith and it is fairly sure that one should be looking at alternatives when it comes to floats! There should be a kit for them. The folks I have been in contact with have had really good service and responses from a number of alternative suppliers - all of which are not aluminium and therefore, perhaps, less leaky, lighter and all around more suitable to the 701 (my uninformed opinion). The list of suppliers that I have found a pleasure to deal with and all of whom could supply you with excellent floats is: Full-Lotus - inflatable floats, straight and amphib Puddle -Jumper floats - composite straight and amphib Downwind technology - Composite straight and ampib Scuola Italiana Volo - Composite straight and amphib plus there are others I am sure.... I have a very rough document with some more details, feel free to email me if you want it. I have decided that there is much to learn about flying a 701 to its full potential and so a season or two on wheels - maybe later on some big tundra tires as my ability progresses enough to be able to put them to good use -- is probably a smart way to go. If you plan to fly floats and dont have your rating yet, I had an amazing and very intensive learning experience at Alaska Float Ratings in Moose Pass.

    I had a fantastic experience taking a lesson from Paul Reindeer who flies floats and skis on his 701 in alaska and is an absolute expert. If you are at all rusty when completing your 701 I would not fly it without getting a few lessons first. I found it took me 3 hours to get the hang of the differences between it and a supercub on landing. Without some help I think I would have dented it... martin N69999 (i have 9s to spare if you need one) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 5217#205217

    Martin, Glad you found the fuel starvation problem. My take on the bulkhead hole is that you could probably do it, possibly hinging a door, but why not put some reinforcement in the bulkhead first? I put a BRS chute on this bulkhead. I needed to strengthen it first and could show you how I did it. Write directly to me if you want a picture of what I did.

    Martin, Nice to know that Paul Reinders has helped more than one of us get our 701's into the sky. Paul is a real treasure of 701 knowledge and an excellent teacher. For those who don't know him, Paul keeps his 701 in Alaska but spends some of his time in Santa Rosa Ca. I think he has about 35000 flight hours; a retired 747 airlines pilot, active ferry pilot, and flight examiner. When I finished my 701 at the beginning of the year Paul was kind enough to go up with me for its first flight and showed me how to fly it. 108 hours later I haven't dinged it yet, thanks to Paul!
