I have a czaw 701 and am in the process of updating to the latest Zenith
Bubble doors. I have available a pair of czaw original doors and a pair
of Dannys Skyshop bubble doors. The wife says get rid of the superfluous
doors or modify the 701 to a six door version. Contact me if interested.

This is the 2nd winter for my 701. Last winter, in heavy snowfalls the tail would
drop. I put a couple of tires just in front of the tail hook for it to plop
onto.
This year I drove a couple of plastic stakes into the ground on each side of the
nose wheel. I loop a rope between one and a ring on the other stake then around
the bottom of the nose strut. It also helps keep the plane from weathercocking
which will be more likely once the nose wheel lifts.
This weekend we got our first massive snow dump. The 150 next to me was ass down
with it tailplane buried in the snow. My nosewheel was being held just off the
ground. I liked that better.

After my 701 sat on it's tail due to a heavy snow load I designed and used a
"tail stand", working on the same principle as the ones used on USAF
KC-135's. It worked great and I'll use the same thing on the CH-750.

Hi all. Just lurking right now and in the decision to start mode. I was
hopeful some one near me has started or even finished a 701. If so
please let me know as I would very much enjoy some look and see time.
Thanks
