Keith,

Those three lines are all fuel system related. One is the fuel supply line,
one is the return from the engine fuel rail (via duplex fuel selector
valve), and the other is a vent line from ...

I spent eight years plans building my CH701. I asked a lot of questions here and received a lot of insight. Thanks for all the help from a lot of you. Here is a video of the first flight: Curt Thom ...

Attached is a picture of how I eventually ran the wires and lines. I made a strain relief to make a tight bend in the inner most nose rib.

I have a question related to the attached picture. I would like to run some wires and pitot lines from in front of the spar to behind the spar. What do you think about drilling a hole where I put th ...

Zenith says they haven't shipped the spinner with the FWF kit in years.

I'm thinking of getting the aluminum one from WarpDrive. Anyone know what
diameter to get? It looks like the 9" one g ...

Does anyone know if the spinner is included with the Zenith FWF plus Warp
Prop kit?

Doh! That was stupid on my part. I hate the way "reply" goes back to the
entire list.

Joe, If the room is still open, call me and I will get you another card

John,

I was more concerned about attaching it with rivets. I doubt if I can
insulate around them. I thought about using nylon machine screws but I

I made a fiberglass mold and built a carbon fiber fairing for my horizontal
stab (picture attached). I'm having second thoughts now because I have been
looking into the issue with galvanic corrosio ...

Art,

I used a 1 inch spindle sander to notch for the flutes. I have a note on one of my wing nose rib form blocks that says I angled them at 45 degrees. I still used fluting pliers once I go ...

Art,

Like you, I started with 6 degrees on my CH701. I found that 10 degrees worked better. I still had to tweak the angle a bit after the part came out of the form block.

Whenever this comes up, you guys that have been around for awhile roll your
eyes (if you can do that in a forum post). At one time I even looked
through the achieves of the old Zenith list to see w ...

In the ZAC Construction Manual, 4th ed, page 9, it talks about the modified rivet head. I’ve made my own and also bought some from Zenith (with the pneumatic squeezer). I think there was some ...

I think I’m nearly done with my 7C2-2 torque tube mods to create a stationary horizontal tail bellcrank (7C1-1). Still need to paint. Here is a link to some pictures of it:
