Hi Carl,
Ive been thinking of adding a spacer/plug to the front strut to get more prop ground
clearance as you have done. I would love to see a picture or two of yours
to see how it turned out.
Thanks
Rick

Carl:
I got a nice response from Michael Heintz yesterday about the same
subject. I will copy it immediately below:
"Hi Stan,
Sounds like you are getting ready for some serious fun with your CH 701!
The nose wheel fork is indeed an item manufactured on special order by
Zenith Aircraft. When you call Zenith to discuss details, you should
probably ask to speak with Roger who knows all about these things...
Note that the extended fork is best if you are considering a larger-
than normal nose wheel. If you plan on using the wheel supplied in the
kit, but need additional prop clearance, it is quite common to insert
a spacer between the standard fork and the nose gear strut. I have
seen these up to 1.5" tall; made of either aluminum (with lightening
holes) or hardwood. As a general rule of thumb, we try to have at
least 9" of clearance, a bit more if the bungee is older/looser...
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Michael Heintz
Quality Sport Planes"
I also would like to see a picture of your spacer/plug for the front
strut as my current prop only allows about 8" of ground clearance.

Somewhere I saw a tool made for setting the tension on the control cables,
but I can not remember where I saw it or who made it. Can anyone help me?

Hi Sam,
You might have seen a cable tension gage on my site.
It's easy enough to make, but I'm going to put a drawing of the gage on
the site to assist builders one day soon.
