Thanks Brian.
Boy, the list is dead lately. Only concrete answer I've got. No answer on the Rotax
list at all.....Geoff

Geoff's pictures were great and explained it well, Brian. I had just replaced
the two plugs on a 912 I have on a Kitfox and wish I'd seen his pictures before
ti tackled the job.
My 912 S came already wired and ready to go though. The rest of the rest of the
wiring I got right out of the Installation manual and Dynon Instruction book.
Pretty straight forward.
Bob

To get the plug apart there is a small tab to push while you are pulling it apart.
It comes off easily enough if you find the correct tab to push. Then wire
the Mag wire to a terminal as per the picture Geoff or Brian posted, then push
the terminal into the plug till it clicks, then plug the plug back in. Don't
push the terminal into the plug till you have wired and soldered it as you
might not be able to get it out again. Wire it up first! Then wire the other
end of the mag wire to the mg switch you are going to use.

Great suggestions that I probably will be able to use in cold ND! For preflight
I've used an engine cover (and old Kennon from a 172) and attatched a 4 inch
rubber flex tube to a ceramic heater which I shove under the cowling and hook
up the heater to a timer set to come on 2 or 3 hours before I plan to fly. If
the battery is not in front of the firewall and won't also get heated by the
heater (on my Kitfox) I wired in a small 12 volt battery charger with a float
feature and hook it up to the heater and timer too.
I doubt a charger will be necessary for the 701 as the battery is in front of the
firewall and will get heated along with the engine.
Most of our rural airports have 120 volt plug ins which are great for keeping planes
warm while enjoying the $100.00 hamburger or breakfast! Harder to find an
"electric bush" out on the ice of some lake when we ice fish!

| Subject: | Flapperon setting |
According to ZAC the inboard flapperon part is to be set on the same plane as the
top of the wing, basically zero degrees from it.
I'm told that there are a lot of Champs and Cubs that through trial and error the
older A @ P's found that setting ailerons in a slightly negative position would
give them another 4 or 5 mph over the zero setting. I wonder if anyone has
tried this on a 701?
As the flapperon in the 701 is set for the outboard one to be a bit negative with
reference to the inboard one it is already slightly negative to the wing when
the inboard one is set 0 to the wing. So I'm curious if this would make any
difference?
Bob

The Tab on top seems to be completely unmovable. This is why I sought help. I assume
there would be a tab on the opposite side also, which would be on the bottom.
I can't even SEE it because the two plugs sit so close to each other...Geoff

Yes, the little tab is hard to see and figure out. When you push it down
don't get frustrated like I did and inadvertently break the little
crosspiece of plastic that holds the tab. This is why I had to solder new
plugs on in the first place. Because I screwed up and pushed too hard and
pried on the little piece of plastic that holds the tab instead of just
pushing down on the tab. They are similar to regular automotive plugs so
if you have a mechanic buddy, get him to show you how to do it. That's what
I ended up doing.

Another 701 in North Dakota! Where are you located? I'm 30 miles north
of Fargo.

Bismarck, ND! There's another one 20 miles from Grand Forks and one in
Hawley, Minn, though I haven't seen them! I've got about 25 hours on the
test flight program so far. Nice little plane, although slower than my
Kitfox!
