CH-701 Modification to cockpit roof.
Posted on August 3, 2013 at 9:46pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
I have read that there is a modification to the CH750 that replaces the flat plexiglas between the wing roots with an airfoil shape that is suppose to reduce drag and turbulance, and even increase lift. Does anyone know if there is such a mod for the 701?
CH-701 Elevator Confusion

The instructions indicate in two separate places, the beveled trailing edge should be on the bottom of the elevator creating a flat and neutral lift trailing edge.
My question is: which is the correct?
