First flight of N638PS a Zenith CH 701 kit built over three years- nine m
onths and a few days. ran out of parts and excuses....

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 c
amera 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 th
is off my bucket list...grin !!!

John, a good way to support the wings while fitting is to make stands out o
f 2x4s.- One for the inboard and one for the outboard for each side.- L
eave them a little on the short side and then use foam or pieces of cardboa
rd to shim them up to the final height.
-
To get the placement of the slots,-I had the flapperons in place on the w
ings.- I think I stuck a marker through the stud hole in the root plate o
f the flapperon and drew an arc on the side of the fuse.- Next I rigged t
he flapperons at their neutral postion and marked this as zero.- Using an
electric level I then marked the up limit and down limit of the travel.
-
For cutting the slot I drilled out the upper and lower limits of the arc wi
th a step drill being sure to leave a little extra room for the movement.
- To cut the slot, I took a scrap piece of extruded "L" and made it into
a sort of compass.- I drilled a hole to fit over the fuselage flapperon s
tud and cut slots in the "L" at the forward and aft cut lines.- I then pu
t my Olfa P-Cutter in the slots and used the "L" to guide the blade while i
t scored the skin.
-
Hope this all makes sense.

Hello all;
------------Does anyone out there have dimensions f
or 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.
