 |
|
I have been buying the 701 sub kit by sub kit, and have noticed more and more pre-drilling.
The skins for my wings and flaperons were all pre-drilled. The skins for my tail kit ( bought a year ago ) were not.
With the RV kits even the ribs come pre-driled and ready to cleco. When you talk about the RV quickbuild kits the wings are almost complete with only one skin per wing not fully riveted.
Good luck and DO NOT ARCHIVE

Does anyone have any experience with the "new" standard STOL CH 701 kit now includes many CNC pre-cut and pre-drilled skins and components. How extensive is the pre-drilling. Are the assembly manuals improved.
I notice the the build times have been reduced. Will the Zenith 701 ever get to the RV12's matched hole construction level.
Also, has anyone looked into the CH701 Quick Build Kit for Flight Crafters in FA. Where is it quick built (CZ or the Philippines or locally). I'm just ploting and planning so I don't want to bother them ... but I wonder about the price of the Quick Build option.
Thanks,
Lou
