Hello  List:

                I  am at the point of wiring the first wing on my CH701. I need to get both tooling  and crimp on terminals, etc. AS has terminals but I cannot find crimpers.  Any one know where I can find one?

     I noticed in an old post that there is a neat way  to hold 601 wings for painting. Is there such a device for the 701 wing?

     Has anyone ever installed landing lights in the  flat part of the wing tip?

  

 Thanks all, John Read

Also B&C Specialty Products http://www.bandc.biz/index.html which is recommended by Bob Nuckolls of Aeroelectric Connection.  For an excellent article on what to look for in a good crimper, read Bob's article at  http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/CrimpTools/crimptools.html.

John,

I had a nice handling fixture that solved the problem with rotating and 

moving the wings to and from the storage rack

to the paint booth.  Ultimately, I found the wings could be taken from 

the rack to be attached to the plane without any extra

set of hands. It's a simple idea, requires right and left plate 

attachments, but only one stand and a good wing rack that holds

the wings on foam on the leading edge.  701 wings would be larger, but 

the solution is the same.  You only need enough distance

from the wing-nose to the pivot point to clear the nose in rotating top 

to bottom. Put extra holes in place for handling at wing cg

so you can move the pin from the holes that set the height you need to 

get it back into the rack.

See links,

Good luck,

I found a crimper on Ebay a few years ago for my project. An Ancor brand 

ratcheting crimper for double crimping PIDG style terminals. I see a few 

crimpers listed on ebay now that might work for you. Also, B & C has one 

that they sell. www.bandcspecialty.com

 Hi Larry:

 Thanks for the wing support pics. I am building a 701 which cannot be  suspended by the spar root. I think I will have to dream up something that  attaches to the slat brackets.

  

 Regards, John

If your workshop is big  enough and you can put hanging points in the ceiling then this works really  well.  

 For a 701 use two 6' long  boards across under each wing, one out near the tip and the other a  couple of feet out from the root, tied up to hangers in the ceiling.  It  works really well in 

 that you can adjust each  rope to get all the 'angles of dangle' just right, and it's really secure  so you can measure, re-measure and measure yet again before  drilling.

  

 By pulling them up above  head height it's also a good place to store the wings out of the  way.

  

 Cheers, JG
