If I remembr correctly, the hinge goes between the bubble door and the
tube frame. Otherwise like you said it wouldn't work.

Unrelated to building airplanes, it is too bad there wasn't a fleet of
701's, 801's, 750's down there. These would be ideal aircraft to haul
relief supplies, at least some injured people, observation, etc. They
could get in and out of places that normal aircraft could not. They're
not heavy lifters, but ideal for a lot of disaster relief!

I was thinking about that also. I think an average 701 should be able to carry
around and extra 200-250# into a somewhat remote area.
That is a lot of water, food, and supplies.

Re the bubble door hinge. The hinge attaches to a U shaped piece of
aluminum that is attached to the tube frame. The bubble door instructions show
the piece - my kit came without it but Zenith shipped them to me in a few
days after I talked with Shirley at the factory. The hinge is at 90 degrees
when the door is closed and about 180 degrees when open. The U channel also
allows for accurate adjustment of the door for a good fit in the closed
position.

| Subject: | enricher cable designs flaw |
had an interesting breakdown this morning. tried to start engine as normal and
after a short tug on the enricher knob, it came out in my hand. scratch one flight.
i am not sure if my purchased model was built by design / plans but the
cable comes through the firewall in the center just below the v shaped engine
mount and above the top of the nose wheel tube. single cable into two (one to
each carb) just at this point. last time out flyin the patch i traversed a rather
steep / heavy drift on the way to the runway... felt a clunk through the rudder
controls but didn't think much more of it . did some head scratching today
to figure out why a broken cable.... found cable is strung/ mounted 3" above
nw tube.... tube has travel marks up to 4"on it below the bottom guide. In
several years this has never been an problem but with rougher ground conditions
and possibly deteriorating nw suspension bungee the top of the tube sliced off
the cable. Just a heads up for you guys still working on this stage.. this
incursion area needs to be rethunk.
