For those who still have access to the firewall, you might want to go ahead and
put in whatever baffling you plan to use over the nose steering rods. I waited
until I had the engine on and the plane on wheels. It was a pain to install.

I have 6R and 6L 7S1-1 Slat Ribs that are surplus. These are Zenith manufactured
ribs. They are new, unused.
I will sell them for 1/2 price, and include UPS shipping in the U.S. Outside the
U.S. you will have to pay the shipping charges.
If you have a need for them contact me off list.

| Subject: | Rubber Spacers on main gear |
This afternoon I started taxiing and heard a metal to metal grinding.
On investigation, I found the upper rubber spacer for the main gear on
the right side was missing and the lower one in bad shape. My plane
only has a little over 50 hours. The left side spacers look to be ok
for now. I guess the upper spacer must have departed after my last
landing because I don't remember hearing that noise before.
Is this a common issue or did I not install and/or tighten the spacers
correctly the first time?

Dan,
I think this is weakness on CH701. I finally cut tread from auto tire to
fit. All four pads seem to be surviving great. Cutting the steel belts on
the tire is a little difficult but can be done.
The little sponge like pads from Zenith last about 5 landings.

My original rubber Zenith pads lasted about 3 landings! I went down to
the local Macs Hardware surplus place and got some thick belting. Works
great now!

Happened the same to our 701 here, cut one from a-old Cessna tire (avoid
using car tires, is an airplane :-)- and cut the rubber part(s) to use-
from the sides of the tire...-- Lasted nearly 200 hrs....-- Plane
has 236 hrs and just looks like the piece of tire needs- replacement. Pro
bably this next Saturday...-- Not a dificult thing to do.- Once you g
et the correct size, cut some extras to save for next 200 hrs "preventive m
antainance" or maybe a few more hrs...

I was at my father place a few months ago and out of the blue I asked if he
had any pieces of conveyer belt. He walked to the corner of his shop and
handed me a slab of it. I got a chuckle. Dad's a packrat for everything.
A few months ago in the DVD that came with the Zenith newsletter had someone
doing a pre-flight on a CH701 (I think it was Gus). That CH701 had some
kind of pink material on the main gear. Anyone know what that is?
