I do not consider a super cub wing a bad performer and I've seen vg's enhance takeoff
sometimes a lot.

[quote="JohnDRead(at)aol.com"]I am familiar with vgs and how they work. The fact
is that a slotted wing is the best way to get STOL characteristics. And I'll
repeat vgs make a poor (or under performing) airfoil work better. They will
not make a regular airfoil into a STOL airfoil. Find a copy of Abbot and Von
Doenhoff, they explain slots very well.

| Subject: | MIC-switch Install |
Ive decided to install a permanent MIC switch in the control stick of my 701. After
looking at the stick movement at the bottom Im not sure where or how would
be the best way to route the wire out of the stick and under the seat to the
instrument panel. The wire will be coming down the inside of the stick tube from
the switch at the top and coming out somewhere. I was hoping someone with
experience in this area can give me some valuable advice to save me some time
and cut MIC wires.
Thanks

| Subject: | Re: MIC-switch Install |
The way I installed mine was to drill about a 1/4" hole in the control stick between
the gussets for the pivot point. I ran my wires out there and into the
horizontal tube that carries the rotation back to the flapperons. An inch or
two back from the seat front, I drilled another hole in the horizontal tube and
exited the wires there. Another hole in the side of the tunnel and routed the
wires up to my intercom via the right side of the cockpit. All of these holes
had grommets installed to prevent wire damage an I allowed a decent service
loop to prevent binding.
Keep in mind that I am still only building at this point and have not flown with
my installation but I have played with it extensively and found no binding or
chafing on the wires.

| Subject: | parting out Zenair 701 on amphibian floats |
Hello Listers
I have decided to part out my Zenair 701 on amphibian floats. I will
consider
offers for any of the major components e.g.: wings, floats, etc.or will
sell
it in its entirety but without the engine. The engine is a Rotax 618, two
cycle,
which I will sell separately. The engine and airframe have close to 300
hours and
have always been hangered.
I am located on Leesburg airport in central Florida.
Anyone interested please contact me off list for additional information and
pictures.
I must act soon.

I have a friend who is interested in building a 701. He recently found
a completed plane in which he could sit to see how his frame fits. He
is 6' - 1" but has very long legs in relation to his torso. When he sat
in the plane and put his feet on the pedals, he said the top of his
knees were above the top of the Y yoke. This hindered him from moving
the yoke to either side. I'd like some suggestions on how others have
overcome this problem or must he look at alternate planes? Thanks for
your help. Robert Schoenberger 701 60%

on the older 701's there was a " most forward or most back" position for
installing the rudder pedals. Maybe the plane he sat in had the "most
forward" position when built.

| Subject: | Does anyone know if 701 training is available in Alberta? |
Hello all.
I am plans building a 701 in Newfoundland Canada. The nearest 701 is over 300 miles
from home which is why I have never seen, much less flown in a 701! I will
be flying to Calgary next month for a couple of weeks and was wondering if
anyone knows where to get some training on a 701, within a reasonable distance
of Calgary Alberta ?
Thanks. :D

Had the same problem, I'm 6'1". I moved my instrument panel two inches
forward. I also mounted my petals as far forward as possible. My

I'm also 6'1". I built my 701 from a new kit. I moved the rudder pedals about
an inch and a half forward Everything else is according to plans.
I feel comfortable in it

| Subject: | Re: MIC-switch Install |
I did mine with a hole near the bottom of the yoke and a grommet, of course.
I ran the PTT wires from each side and the 4 wires from the electric trim
switch out the same hole, then exited the whole bunch of wires out the
tunnel. I put some protector of some kind on the wires between the stick
and the tunnel wall, and while I protected them with grommets and the wrap
around stuff, if I remember correctly I gooped them all down liberally with
some kind of silicone seal/glue. After I made sure my wiring was OK, that
is.....

| Subject: | secondary fuel pump |
I have a 912 UL engine with only the engine fuel pump. I know that many 912's
in other planes have electric pumps for cold-start and for obvious safety reasons.
Has anyone put an electric secondary fuel pump on a 912 in a 701.
I am not sure how to plump it. As the engine pump uses suction, is it OK to pressurize
the inlet side of that pump with a secondary pump. This would eliminate
the need for a second fuel filter. I can also see away to plumb the secondary
pump around the engine pump with check valves and a few tees. That very
quickly becomes very complicated.
I know that a secondary pump isn't on most 701's. Seems like a good idea to me
though.
thanks.

Ernest,
I have mine right after the gasolator in series with the mechanical pump.
Some will argue to put it in parallel, I suppose both works. If I was to do
it over I would install a return line shown in the Rotax manual to help
prevent any vapor lock.
