Rick,
In 1998 when I built my hanger, I used old tail height figures from
Zenith. Turned out the rudder would hit the roof joist. I called ZAC
and asked if I could put a 2" spacer between the fork and the nose gear
strut. Answer was yes. I now sit a slightly positve angle of attack on
the ground and when taking off there is no ptich up tnendency as when
you rotate form an negative AOA to a positive AOA. Which I saw when I
flew ZAC's 701.
You can see a pix at www.geocities.com/cffd66 look under "Airplane" then
" Ready for Inspection". I just used 8 long bolts through the solid
block.

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

That service is temporarily out of service.
What is the block made of?

Chuck what height were you able to get the SP version tail height down to using
the 2" spacer? I wouldn't need to modify the shed... I mean hanger as much, if
I could fit the 701 in an 8 foot tall door.

Hello Kevin,
-
If you install a little roller in the rear tie down ring,- you can roll t
he airplane around the hangar,- just check the height of the leading edge
s and probably the propeller (cant remember what is higher).
-
I put my 701 in that position outside my hangar to wash and wax the wings,
empenage and the rear top fuselage.- I also use a piece of wood about 1"l
so the rudder will not touch the floor.
If the airplane is corect balanced will stay there, just in case I add a 10
lbs sac in the center of the empenage, if I have to leave it unatended.-
-
-
Just push down gently on the rear fuselage,-near the stabilizer -with t
he arm.

Hey fellas! Has anybody sprung for those sexy strut fairings?
I was wondering if they did any good? Or were just in the way/ more trouble than
they're worth etc...
Looks like fun to put together.
Thanks,
Dan

Yes they do look "sexy" I guess. They are also supposed to be very functional.
I have heard a conservative 3-4 MPH increase in speed all the way up th 6-8
MPH speed increase. Strut fairings are well worth the effort to install. My
701 will have them once finished.
