I use a dremel tool with a little cut off cutting thing.

I donâ€™t know, John. I donâ€™t have my plans here but on m y invoice it looks like I received 4 â€œSmall Fairingsâ€ and they fit perfectly. The seller, knew what size the 701 took and whatever s ...

BTW, don't worry about them moving or securing them. They are tight enough
that you have to tap them over the steel strut, so make sure you have them
pretty close when you start. It helped to l ...

I put my fairings on when I had it all apart for painting. I lined them up
as well as I could, assuming where the top or bottom of the wing would be,
and rather than a round hole where the jury s ...

I think about 6, maybe 8 pounds. I took off the slats which weigh a bit,
and installed a couple of baggage compartment doors and put in a removable
armrest and added a top and tail strobe, so itâ ...

No problem Don. I don't have the paperwork as its all in the hangar, but it
was a company from Ohio so that's the likely the one. All four struts can't
weigh a pound, if that, and they were easy ...

I screwed up in an earlier post. I brought mine out through a grommet hole on the back of the stick, not out the bottom. Sorry

I flew my 701 for 2 1/2 years with slats and bare aluminum, then this winter I finally painted it and put wings back on, etc. I had previously recorded numbers with slats, then slatless, and for the ...

I ranthem out the bottom of the stick, then into the Tunnel and on.......I had pilot/opilot PTTâ€™s. frequency flip flop and wires for electric trim but it didnâ€™t take that much of a loop at the b ...

The original stuff from Zenith was gone in a few hours so I used some thick tough stuff I got from our local Macs Hardware, a sort of partly surplus hardware place here. I think it was rough tough ...

Ouch! Whatever can go wrong definitely will! Too bad. I changed mine by doing one side at a time using a couple of engine lifts â€“ one hooked up to the engine itself through the engine lift bol ...

Hi George â€“ finally got my painting project doe and put VGâ€™s on yesterday. Iâ€™ll send you pictures of those fantastic baggage doors and access ports you manufacture. I can sure recommend them ...

Mine does the same thing and I put X braces on all the olarger unsupported
panels. I don't know if it helped or not, but once you get used to it and
realize that something isn't coming apart, you ...

I used the white Cortec for a while but it didn’t seem to stick very well. Now as I’m painting the plane and cleaning it prior to the paint, areas that have that stuff on are a bit rough. Then I ...

You are right, Tommy! I've found holding the stick back and keeping the
ball centered with the throttle retarded, and the plane does nothing. It
just sits there and after a while when the airspe ...

One other question concerning stall and streamlining. When I took off the
slats it leaves the hangars on the wings. If I decide to permanently leave
them off I guess I'd just cut them off flush, ...

I' in the process of painting my plane right now. Was looking at it several
times and wondered about it but I'm not sure how one would go about doing it
so it made any difference. I put some fa ...

I used some of that trim tape as suggested by Zenith in their plans. I flew
the plane for three years then am now painting it as we speak/type. The
tape looked OK initially but was starting to ...

I'm about to start painting on my 701. Flew it for 3 years and had too much fun flying it to bring it in to paint it.
My pet peeve is the various types of masking tape. I've tried the brown stuf ...

Way to go John. Mine was the same but the Dynon is easy to set. Mine belched out a puff of smoke on the first firing, probably some engine preservative!
