It gets quite a bit of lift without out much drag at this setting. It flys a slower with a little flap but you do not get into the problems you have with full flaps. I also get about 100 fpm extra climb with the take off flap setting. Just remember to lower them when you get to cruise. I have taken my 801 with full flaps in the Valdez May Day Fly-in. The 801 flys amazingly slow with full flaps but the adverse yaw needs to be considered. You can rotate at 20 mph. You will need more nose up trim than without flaps. Once you get it off the ground you put the nose down and get the flaps up. I almost always land with full flaps. OK, I will admit it; I drag it in with power. The other plane I fly is a 185 on amphibs and I drag it in with power. The 185 on amphibs will not climb with full flaps! With both airplanes if you pull the power you need to head toward the runway immediately! You need to keep your speed up and use the speed energy to flare. If you are going to land with full flaps, you should practice full flap go around at altitude because it takes quite a bit of force to overcome the nose up trim. I normally don't trim it out completely on final. As I have said here before do not land with full flaps in a cross wind! On floats I did not have enough elevator control to use full flaps on landing. I normally landed with 15 to 20 degrees flaps. Take off was always with 10-15 degrees flaps I have installed the longer horizontal tail and have VGs on the bottom of the horizontal stabilizer. I have the slats on.

Anybody have a view on this issue as for the 801? ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 12:05:03 PM PST US From: "John Swartout" Subject: Re: Zenith701801-List: 701 Flap Angle choices Bill,, I'm glad you mentioned you have the 10 ft tail. I was told by one of the Heintz brothers several years ago that the 801 could not be rotated at less than 40 mph--not a good feature when you can't do a short/rough T.O. with a bush plane! I'm glad to hear that the bigger HT has taken care of that. I'll have to order one and build it this winter. I'm starting painting in a couple weeks, then final engine installation and cowl fitting. Also I meant to thank you for that very generous and useful and detailed report you gave on the Full Lotus installation. I plan to do that after a a season on wheels.

Although I can see some reason in separating the 701/801 list from the 601 list I don't see the point to the 750 having a distinct list. This means we now have two archives to search and will see more cross-posting. If the answer is just "subscribe to both lists" then why have two lists? -- Craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Stefan Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 7:12 AM Subject: Zenith701801-List: New CH750 list up and running!
