I made the mistake of buying one of the "off the shelf" right angle drills from a Big Box Store to save money. One of my dumb moves while building my 701. I finally bought the right tool wit ...

There is a lot of Skyhawg in N701KN and we'll miss you and your creativity. Be well.

Thanks for sharing that, and I'll bet there are several on this forum that feel the same way.

Great news, thanks for the video John. You are still ahead of me on the building and maybe gaining ground. Congrats on the successful engine start.

Anyone know where I can buy the 22,000uF 25V capacitor listed on the Rotax wiring diagram? The price wanted by a Rotax service center seems a little outrageous.

Now I've done it! I stored my completed slats high up on a wall bracket in my shop and apparently the vibration from my air compressor caused one to fall when I was not there.

I have a big dent in ...

Les, could you forward the pics of the oil cooler baffle to me? I could not open them.

Sounds like a good plan, but do yourself a favor and do nothing until you rig the elevator cables, and then experience what happens as you move the stick left and right. You'll understand at that poin ...

Zenith uses a bungey on one of the cables attached to the passenger side. I'm at that stage right now, and several of the guys on this list pointed it out to me. A picture is in the instructions.

I had the same quandary, but it all worked out in the end. Mounting the horiz. stab. too high will cause problems later when you install the cables. There won't be adequate clearance and you'll end up ...

Thanks to all that came to my rescue. Excellent ideas guys, thanks again.

I'm stumped. When I tried to tighten my elevator cables for the first time, the stick started to bind when I moved it to the right. I could not find where it was binding for the life of me. Then, I di ...

Test reply.

I'm at the same stage you are right now, and I think the answer is that there is not enough clearance between the elevator horn and the various obstructions at full deflection for the turnbuckles to b ...

OK guys, what do you say we stop fanning the fire, and let this die.

Here's my "one man's opinion" and I'm not trying to influence anyone; Jon is a great guy and has been of immense help ...

Once again, the Matronics List guys come through. I was about to do a bonehead thing and start modifying the elevator horn, but you guys advised against it based on experience. You are right.

I ta ...

I'm afraid I've mounted the Horizontal Stab on my 701 too far forward, or possibly too high off the Fuselage. When I test mounted the elevator I found that it will only deflect about 18 degrees at a d ...

Wow! What a scary reort. Thanks Gig.

He should not have taken you to task, that is exactly how I was taught by my CFI who was a pilot for over 50 years. He learned that flying fighters in WWII. "Speed with pitch, altitude with power ...

I bought the Sears wrench and it works great.
