Everyone told me to expect an extreeeeemly short takeoff roll... I thought I was ready - I wasn't.... anyway flew great with no squawks.... reminds me of grabbing all of the collective of a really light UH 1 - grin. Attached a few pics.. the flight pics closer up in flight were on another camera and huge files - I'll have to figure out how to reduce them for email. Btw kudos to all of you who answered my stupid questions and offered advise and support along the way. My message to those who are in the throws of the build...press on regardless...it's worth it in the end...gonna take this off my bucket list...grin !!! ttfn Still grinnin Phil CH 701, Rotax Buhl Idaho ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:34:38 PM PST US From: JohnDRead@aol.com Subject: Zenith701801-List: CH 701 Questions Hello all; Does anyone out there have dimensions for the slots in the fuselage sides of the CH701 for clearance of the flaperon connectors? Is there a good way to support the wings when test fitting to the fuselage. Thanks in advance for any help.

Once you mount the flaperons, trace the path of the connector using a sharpie through the connector hole on the flaperon size ( pre-drilled size only ). Then identify the neutral position of the flaperon. If you search the list you can find the angle of deflection relative to neutral from just last week. Good luck!
