Hi, I had just recently purchased a CH 701 with Pegastol wings. The aircraft requires some TLC and a new powerplant so I haven't had a chance to fly it. For what I've read they seem to be a pretty…Continue

- I am a Powered Paragliding Instructor. I currently fly powered paragliders and a Challenger II. I just purchased a CH 701 with Pegastol wings that requires a lot of TLC. The engine was a Suzuki 1.3 but have recently sold it. I'm planning to put in Rotax 912 or possibly a Jabiry 2200. Hopefully we'll get the aircraft in the air by end summer or Fall.

thanks frank ive been flying trikes and im wanting a 701 with 100 horse power but also set up for as slow flying as possible.
Hi Frank, have a good friend would like to contact you re the floats for sale. Raymond Zimbabwe
Hi Frank. Just love the Pegastol wings. My slats seem to pop in and out at around 70 knots indicated. The fuel tanks are still giving me some grief with on going leak problems. Would love to rebuild those plastic tanks in aluminium and put an extra drain at the rear of the tank to capture some unusable fuel.
My unusable is also around 5 litres although I can get that down to around 3 litres with some nose down trim!! I have a 15 litre header tank behind the fire wall with a sight glass to keep an eye on things.
Safe flying
Gary
Hi Frank
