Hi,



I am new to the Ch 701 and was wondering if the pegastrol wings are foldable, as found in the Zenithair options?



Thanks in advance,



Mike

Not the original ones that came from Dedalius. Don't know about the Raymond version.

The folding wing option for the 701 

is not very practical,it takes just as long to take the wings off 

normally ,they fold up really high in the air-- make great sails!

it is not very tow able that way,

the folding wing kit option has a tube permanently mounted under the main spar crossover tube inside the cabin!!!

and they use quick disconnects on the fuel lines ,does not come with any for the light wires ,the gas gauge wires and the pitot tube!!

Thanks everyone for that information. It seems those who fly with the Pegastol wings really like them. I can see how when folded up the might present a lot of sail area when towing. 



Can the Pegastol wings simply be removed if necessary?  Is that a big deal to do?

Thanks again,



Mike

I've had mine off and on about a half dozen times (trucking to airport, make holes for fuel lines, etc.). Two people and a wing stand and about 10 minutes per wing. A third person makes it a bit easier. I originally was worried about the plane tipping over if I removed a wing with no stand supporting the other. Then I forgot to put the stand on the side not being removed. It did not fall over and was stable enough that I never bothered with the stand on that side again. For a stand I used a 20 dollar, poor imitation of a, Workmates with the split table top that can be used to clamp something. I made something that looked like the Greek letter 'pi' out of 2 vertical 2x4's and one 2x4 across the top with some padding on it. The vertical were shoved in the slot on the tables and were clamped at the required height.

Ray,



Thanks for those details, that is what I was looking for. The more folks I talk to about the 701 and those wings, the more I think about how to talk my wife out of her 1/2 of the garage....



Thanks again!



Mike

Of course you realize the wings are not available anymore.  Hopefully 

Raymond will have them up for production sometime in 08.  I got an e-mail 

from him yesterday and he is building his CNC equipment this winter.  I hope 

so, because I get a lot of e-mails from people with a lot of interest.  LRM,

PS, I putting LRM now because there are too many Larrys on the list and I 

find myself answering other Larry's messages.  Take care.
