Great Kobuk Sand Dunes

Made the trip I've been trying to make before starting the 701 build.  It was a long road but the pay off was worth all the work.  Took off from home airport PAOT, Kotzebue AK, to PAIK Kiana, picking up the Kobuk River and following it to the great sand dunes.  the most northern desert in the world.  Was one of the most  fantastic trips I've made in the 701.  Here are some pictures.  ill add more pics later…

Myself and 2 friends (all A&P's) started scratch building our 701's (3ea.)in october 08. After finishing the rudders we went after the horizontals and elevators witch are currently done. I wish now i would have kept track of the times and dates but all I can say for sure they all went togther smothly. Since were building from scratch and doing 3 the roughter table is one of the top used tools we have for building identical blanks like ribs… Continue

David, I just saw your comment on the snorkel vent cap.  Also realized that almost 2 years ago you were on the 'friends request' of my sign in.  I apologize for not responding then but I'm not a computer geek.  I'm hoping to get my 750 flying this summer here in Wasilla.  I'm lucky in that two members live close by.  They are Bob Jones and Bill Bear.

Hi David,
Happy to have you as a friend.how did you modify your wing?
I know it is longer so what did you modify to make it happen?
Thanks for any info provided. I like to exchange info on the 701 flying and building...if you have questions, comments dont hesitate...
Regards,
Norm

Hi Dave thank you. Is that with flaps and power? With 15 degrees of flap and about 3000 rpm I am getting about the same. My original 35 mph was no power , no flaps. I am also in the flight testing stage, currently trying different landing techniques. There's probably a whole thread on landing but haven't gone looking yet. So far the best short field over an obstacle seems to be approach at 45-50 and add a burst of power to flare, landing with stick full back. Engine out approach has to be at 60 to have enough speed for the elevator to get the nose up to flare. have done a few 300 foot landings but not yet consistent. Any thoughts??

Hi David. I appreciate you taking time to help me out. My email is kimbullm@hotmail.com. I bought my plane partially completed and have had to do major rework to get it flying. Just finished pulling the left wing almost completely apart to correct a 3 degree twist built into it by the previous builder. It is flying ok but the stall speed is higher than I expected (35 mph with 15 deg flap). My home strip is about 375 ft at 3800 above sea level so I need good stol performance. Hence the interest in the long wing
