| Subject: | a new type of tail-dragger |
Greetings,
I am a student. I have logged ~25 hours in my 701 and >15 in another plane. I
plan to take my sport pilot check-ride next week. Last night, I was doing a
simulated soft-field take-off. I pulled the stick back too far, and when I went
full throttle, the tail touched the runway.
I never left the ground and immediately pulled off the runway. My instructor and
I did a thorough inspection deemed the damage cosmetic. No bolts touched the
ground. No deformation of the rudder structure or mounting holes. The rudder
only had a scratch on the bottom edge. Other than that, there was a bent
tail tie-down bracket which absorbed the brunt of the force. I have already straightened
this bracket with no problem..
Anyone else had this happen. This was not my first soft-field simulation. I am
embarrassed.
At any rate. I just wanted to share. Any new 701 pilots out there beware. It
happened fast. Go easy on the stick back-pressure at take-off when simulating
soft-fields on a hard runway.
--------

Ernest, don't feel bad, I've noticed grass sticking out of the rudder on the factory
demonstrator on a couple of occasions at Oshkosh. Some pilots go so far
as to modify the tail tie down ring with a rollerblade wheel .

I just received my new Airframe data plate from George Race (mykitplane@mrrace.com)
and he has done a first class job of engraving it.
George, thank you for the great data plate and the super fast shipment. Very impressive!!

I have ordered the access/inspection plates from George and was very impressed
as well. Quick shipping to Canada and a great finished product. I will be ordering
the tie downs here shortly
Thanks again George.

If I has only a single tank in each wing I would use the same setup with an
on-off selector switch on each wing root. Simple and safe.

I am installing Aux. tanks also and that is my idea also "selectors at wing
root Main/Aux/off" then to the normal gascolator and to a firewall shutoff. My
question for you is what selectors did u use and can u share pics of your instlation?
Also is there any problem with the selectors at the wing root and removing the
wing?
Thanks Dave

There is one CH701 incident in the NTSB database where the pilot forgot to
turn the valve off on one of the lines when he landed. He normally did
that. When he got in next time, he turned the valve off instead of on.
Engine ran out of fuel shortly after takeoff.
BTW, I found a dozen or so incident reports in the database. Only one
fatal. Most were engine/fuel related.

I have a program that goes through the NTSB database daily looking
for Zenith incidents. Last count, 25 701, 6 801, and a few other 701s
under the Zenair model. The report is at:
NTSB Accident Data for Zenith, Zodiac, Zenair, 801, 701, 601, amd,
czech as of 06/30/2009 04:04 GMT-07:00

p.s. I'll be working the ramp at the AWO flyin next week,
when I can fly in from BFI. My plane will be there if I am.
