What length bending brake is needed for the 701? I have a good
brake but only 52 inches. Thanks, Jerry

Thanks for that reference. I had been on the site several times but messed that page somehow. JG's reasoning based on real world experience is compelling. I too am leaning toward eliminating th ...

Hi Larry, I must have missed something in the VG/slat discussion. Why are you increasing the wing span? Most reports I am aware of, the standard wing was used. Jerry

The impression I get is that the slats improve STOL performance when
taking off i.e. high power settings- prop wash. However, when landing
with low or idle power below 50 mph a 701 with slats wi ...

To Mark and every one else who responded, thanks. I will take your advice to hitch a ride in a slated 701. I live in northeast Indiana but I would drive all day for a demo ride. It is true that I h ...

Thanks, I have searched archives with no luck. I know the thread
exists but so far I have not found the right search words. Jerry

I am just getting started. Tomorrow I plan to pick up material for
form blocks. Is 3/4 inch hardwood good for all situations?
Thanks, Jerry CH 701

I would think any industrial supply would have the complete Loctite line. Likewise, check with a bearing supply. The ones I go to carry Loctite. Jerry

The 701 is restricted by CH to 200 lbs engine weight and 100 hp. My
question is what is included in the engine weight? Is it everything
firewall forward? Is it wet? and so on. Thanks J ...

Does anyone have experience with the Autoflight PSRU? They produce
one with a 2:43.1 ratio that would work well with the rotaries
relatively high rpm. I just ran across them while searchi ...

Thanks, reverse engineering from the recommended prop clearance (9 inches) , it is clear that a 68 inch prop will put the thrust line about where it should be. Jerry

For the 701, what are the typical prop lengths, assuming 100 hp?
Thanks, Jerry

I've spent an hour pouring over the plans and cannot locate the
design thrust line. Can anyone help? This is for preliminary
design for a Mazda Single Rotor installation. I feel like the i ...

Larry, not a Harley, but single rotor mazda's are under development and have a similar situation with large power pulses. Here is a video showing what is happening to the prop in response to the pul ...

Simple, using a parcel service costs them nothing and is convenient.
One hundred per cent of the cost is passed on to us. Jerry

Ben, I believe the Corvair is a bit heavy for the 701. Jerry 701 0% done.
