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.

Extending the nose gear 2 inches lowered the tail about 6 inches. With my Jab 2200 and batteries on the fire wall, my cg was still towards the back so the solid aluminum helped the cg a teeny bit. Chuck D. Time: 11:08:40 AM PST US Subject: Zenith701801-List: Re: WD prop 701/912ul From: "kmccune" 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. Kevin ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:37:37 PM PST US From: "carl" Subject: Re: Zenith701801-List: Re: WD prop 701/912ul Rick Unfortunately I only flew-off the first 25 hrs on wheel back in 95. My a/c has been on amphibs since and the only picture I can find of the nosewheel strut extension is not great. It was taken after the first test flight and you can see the top joint but the top of the nose fork is in the shadows. I scratch built so I just made two extra strut plates, welded them to a 4" piece of cromemoly (Same as the strut) and bolted it between the strut and the fork. For those who have a problem with door clearance I include a picture of my a/c on floats with a longer nose strut to clear a 9' door. You can see that the a/c sit on the ground with a 5' positive angle. (That's the thrust, cabin tube line). The wing has a +2.5' angle of incidence so rolling with all three wheels on the ground I have +7.5' angle of attack. . The only negative with this is you must make sure you get the nose up to above 10' on landing so you don't land nose wheel first and get into a porpoise. That should not be a problem for the slated 701 Hope this helps Carl ----- Original Message ----- From: "ricklach" Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 12:14 PM Subject: Zenith701801-List: Re: WD prop 701/912ul > > Hi Carl, > > I?ve been thinking of adding a spacer/plug to the front strut to get more > prop ground clearance as you have done.
