After nearly five years, I'm happy to say I completed my first flight in my CH701.
The airplane performed flawlessly and it was one of the most exciting flights
I've ever had.
Much to my surprise, the airplane initially climbed like a homesick angel. While
I tried to keep a climbout speed of 50 mph, I edged it up to 60 mph and was
doing 1500 fpm! The Rotax 912ULS seems like a bulletproof engine.
I also found out the landing gear is pretty stout and can take a good beating.
Don't ask me how I know that. :D
Thanks to all on this forum for all the advice. It is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Dan Ginty

Congratulations Dan!
I know exactly what you mean, did my 1st flight last week. Except it took
8 years to this month when I started this.
It sure feels good to be done. I have about 18 landings now behind me. No
stol stuff yet. Flying from a large grass
strip.
I do have a few squawks though.
Pressure on stick, wants to roll to the left, I know its from elevator cab
les.Spring to offset pull fixed it.
Had to bend down trailing edge of elevator because using up all trim to st
ay level.
Of course aeroflash supply failed due to bad large capacitor, they sat for
many years not being used. Replaced Cap.
Prop pitch adjusted to get more power, started at 11.5 deg now at 9.5 and
getting 5300 at full power.Its a Warp drive 3 blade 68".
Will bring it back to 9 deg to try and get 5800 out of my 80hp rotax 912
but that pitch sounds too small.
