I would love to see a picture or two of yours to see how it turned out.

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.

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.
