 |

Amazing that these planes want to fly so bad...
My hangar buddy has put his 701 in the ground on a hard landing....
912S engine mount bent
Nose wheel bent
Right wing leading edge slat bent with wingtip end broke..
Can anyone tell us where to get a leading edge slat for the right wing...
Neither of us are builders....He would like to buy one...
Thanks,

With the damage you describe I would call it a crash landing or a botched
landing certainly not a hard landing.

I really am amazed how tough this aircraft is..........even when the engine mount bent.........The prop (warp drive) sustained only a scratching of the prop tips....
The nose wheel bent back and did not even hurt the engine exhaust....The main nosewheel rod...did NOT bend.........Good grief thats tough.........
Oh yeah........Just had the bubble doors installed and a fresh annual...WAS running great..........More gusty wind is what I am told.

Well, if no one on the list has one to sell, you can contact Zenith.
info(at)zenithair.com I'm sure they can sell you one.
