Hi Ken, I missed the post from Chris and his links regarding the
increase gross for the 701. Im really interested in that as
well. Mark T. and Caleb from the factory have advised me that a
number of American and Canadian 701s are registered at 1200 (although
Chris does not recommend flying over gross) and my inspector had no
problems with it but I am interested to see what changes he made to
the spars. As a novice builder dont think Ill be going there but my
curiosity is up.
Would it be possible to get the link again. Chris are you still there?
Most important I see that you have an alaska.net address. Im next
door in Whitehorse and I believe Im the first 701 builder in the
Yukon. This suprised me is as it seems the 701 was purpose designed
for our neck of the woods. Mark T. was astounded to learn that there
was a fourth country in North America called Yukonalaska (one word
pronounced very quickly) when I attended his workshop.
Ive seen some excellent videos on U-Tube with the boys and their 701s
on floats in Alaska. Their commentary cracks me up. I just want
to see how they stuff the moose in the plane when they go hunting.
Would be great to hook up with you folks when Im over raising ....
and my door is always open for fellow builders if you ever get over
this way. When are we having our first ZAC North fly in? How do
you think flickme would fit in up here?
Thanx and good luck with the build!
Regards Cpt Vic
... just another happy builder having an absolute blast building the
best plane in the world with incredible support from Can-Zac and ZAC.

I also it appears, missed something. When did this take place?

Victor.
You can change the gross weight to what ever you want. You will need to
change the load factor in your POH. I have the old kit and have made
most of the changes to the SP, but not all. What I have done is, using
Chris's calculations on the drawings, I will be using an 1100 lbs gross
weight with a load factor of +3.5 and -1.7. Rather than the +4 and -2.
This will give me the same load on the aircraft.
