| Subject: | Canadian CH-701 Inspection for Amateur Built Category |
HI All,
I have been building the flying surfaces for my 701; The tail surfaces are
complete, riveted on one side the other side just clecos. I have just
finished clecoing the skins to the right wing and my jugs of A4 Clecos are
looking a bit skinny. My plan has been to have all the flying surfaces
riveted on one side an clecoed on the other, call the inspector and if all
goes well, close up the wings and tail and move on to the fuselage. I will
do the slats last.
I would appreciate some advice (particularly from Canucks with experience
with the MDRA) on how far I can and should go with the flying surfaces
before having them inspected. The fewer return trips the MDRA has to make
the less cost and rework for me. One area I was curious whether I could
fully rivet or not was the wing nose skins. It seems that except for the
slat supports you can see most of the critical part of the nose skin at the
back of the spar.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Regards,
Perry Delano

Hello Coen,=0A=0AThis is a video of my 701 STOL- with slats, built as pla
ns, flys as spected...-- =0A=0AMy landing strip (Aeroclub Chapala) is a
t 5,020 ft ASL, the temperature that day was normal (around 90=BAF)- and
no wind.=0A=0ASincerely I will never get the slats off, I just love how it
handles--- Cruise speed is around 93 mph,- I cruise around 9,000 ft
ASL- normaly in XCountries and sometimes climb to 11,000 when I have to
go over the Sierra Madre Mountains to the coast (Puerto Vallarta, for examp
le). =0A=0Ahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_NHXdC7sFI=0A=0AJust love the
performance...- I enjoy flying it as is...-- I just remember, When I
need to land very short around here, I NEED the full performace of the airp
lane- and engine.- Is a moment to trust the Desinger (Thank you Chris H
eintz).=0A=0AThis is another video of my 701, flown by another 701 builder
Antonio Miranda...-- flying around Chapala Lake:=0A=0Ahttp://www.youtub

anwyk@gmail.com>=0A=0AI have been reading the discussion re slats and vg's
with interest, as I am still far from that point. Present thinking is to bu
ild to plans, and later do some experimentation. =0A=0ABut I must take up t
he "Willis vs Suzuki' argument, with a dose of good humour!=0A=0AI had a Su
zuki, did some amazing off road thinks with it, put some Land Rovers to sha
me, and then got a Willis, albeit the 'modern 1964" CJ3B model. And there i
s just no comparison, unless you run on the road a lot! over the rocks in t
he mud, through the ditches, the Willis will be absolutely boring, it goes
where you point it, while the Suzuki has to work really hard. =0A=0ASo it b
oils down to the mission, and as far as flying is concerned, I want to be a
s slow as I can when I get near the ground. Which is why I bought the CH701
. Now, if the difference is as small as it seems to be from the data, the V
G's must be considered. I will operate at hot and high, so I was wondering
