    Hi Joel,

    My name is Normand Lambert and I live in Laval. I see you wonder about your work and if it is good enough. If you wanted, I could zoom by and check it out. I built/rebuilt a CH701 and finished it last year. I had to go thru the MDRA paperwork too... Your call.

    Also, RAA415 is having meetings in Longueuil every month. There you can find lots of builders/pilots that could help also.

    You can contact me from this site.

    Regards,

    Norm

    Hi joel,
    Happy to be part of your support group. Don't despair, it's much easier than it looks. The RAA415 has a lot of members that could check your work for confidence boost. Only have to find someone you can relate to...
    Remember, the CH7xx series plane are not pretty nor fast; they are utility planes and altough the aluminum parts dont seem that sturdy when put together they sure build into a strong airframe.

    Keep building; it is all worth it !
    Need to know something ? Just ask on this website you'll get your answer!
    Regards,
    Norm

    Hi Ken,

    My project is moving slower than anticipated...lol  i am planning to move to my country home for good...so i need to plan my new shop and get all the tools ready and moved from the city to the country... not a small task.

    I am currently working on the wings. I have all the tail feathers done and the flapperons and slats done.Wings, fuselage and then the engine left. Scratch building is a long process if you dont spend time on a daily basis.

    Whish I haven't...lol

    But I will get there eventually.
