OK Guys, thanks for the weight on the front fork, one more thing and
I'm going back under my rock for a month or so.
Does anyone have the main gear leg laying around that they could put on
a scale?
Just the gear, nothing mounted. THANKS John

This is from a bathroom scale that weighs to the 10th of a pound.
I get 20.5# BUT I don't know how accurate the scale is.

Hello Tommy,
-
We did that in our 701...- We got the idea then, from a photo in internet
of a 701 from Shyshop,- we did not made any drawing or anything,- dont
remeber very well-but we just bent the middle tube and formed the doors
over it.- No big mod, I think...--
-
I remember first making a fake middle tube with "cheap"-aluminum tube, we
sit in the cabin and bent the tube to have about 1" tolerance over our arm
s, then checked if the lexan and the aluminum sheet suplied (previus to cut
fit) will tolerate it.- Then worked from that.- The resulting cabin is
plenty wide,- we have taken some pretty "wide" passengers without proble
m.
-
Hope this helps.

Saludos
Gary Gower.
Flying from Chapala, Mexico.-
Yesterday was kind of cold. Temp was 75F.- wind calm few clouds great aft
ernoon flight.

Subject: Zenith701801-List: Older Doors
<twalker@cableone.net>
I have a circa 2001 kit that I'm building. It has the older flat side
doors with metal sides and upper window.
I've seen a few doors like this that were "bubbled." I was
wondering if anyone had any plans or ideas about how to form a bubble door
out
of the older style?
I think Skyshop used to supply a door like this, but I understand they
don't sell to zenith builders any longer.
Any comments/ideas appreciated.

Apples and oranges, but Grove's 701 gear weighs 18.1 pounds:
