| Subject: | wheel pants for 701 - horses for courses |
I fly my 701/912ULS slats off, VG's on, with wheel pants, as a touring aircraft.
At 4800rpm and 18l/hr, it cruises at 100mph+
The pants are pretty massive as tyres are Michelin 8.00x6 6ply a/c
tyres. but the pants certainly take some drag off the system. They
were a one-off build and I suspect that most would need to go that
way.

Hello, all
I don't know if this is applicable to the 701/801/750, but Larry McFarland
has an elegant approach to the problem (he built a CH601-HDS):

Hi Roger:
It IS a firewall, and I just don't think the rubber boots that people are using
fit the purpose, other than keeping out air and exhaust.
I made some nomex boots, and just in case they weren't airtight enough (which I
think they were) I coated the inside with "tent sure" (a urethane paint made
for sealing tents). This is a picture from my 601 which has been sold.........Fred

True statement Fred. My concern was carbon monoxide poisoning. Fire is a
whole different story......Ralph Sharp N701SA

My boots are stuffed with ceramic wool. It takes 3000+ degrees to get it
to burn. By that time you have lost the cowling, windscreen and any oth
er flammable part between you and the motor.
