Hi Issac,
Are you still on the forum? I am building a kit and I ran into the same problem you did. Please let me know how your project went?
Adrien
It's been a year Isaac. So, I thought I would check in with you to see if you ever got your project back up and going? If not, I am still available to help you finish it and fly it.

Hi again Isaac and Nita, I am no longer in The Philippies I was working there as the Chief Pilot for a flight school. But that ended. I didn't see any Zenith's there. But I didn't go to all of the islands. I do know of a guy who is moving to the North island who will start construction of a CH-801 this year. He will be building it up in Cauayan, Isabela where the flight school I worked at is.
Right now I'm still looking for work.
Danny
Hi Isaac and Nita, If you need help finishing the aircraft or training, I can come help you. I live in the USA but love going all over the world helping builders. I have built three Zenith CH-701s and I am an FAA Gold Seal and Master Flight Instructor. I also hold an Airline Transport License both here in the USA and in The Philippines.

Isaac and Nita,
Your airplane is shaping up nicely. Good work.

Did you make it to EAA Oshkosh?

Thanks for your comment on the fuel senders. These were ordinary Stewart Warner senders from Aircraft Spruce. They are used with the ISS gauges also sold by Aircraft Spruce. They have been modified. The original senders were taken apart and all the steel pieces were replaced with aluminum. I saved over one pound on the four senders. This was a lot of work but since I'm using a heavier engine (Cont. 0200) I use every opportunity to save weight. If you need to acess the sender later on just fly cut a hole in the skin over the sender and the rivet a circular patch to close.
When I opened up the wings, I noticed that Wing Rear Channels of both my wings were not exactly in line. So, you are not the only one with this problem. I try to make better wings in this rebuild.
I am looking forward to meet you again around the end of the month.

Re. our conversation in Bangkok. I have been looking for books that might be helpful to you. There is an EAA book: Firewall Forward: Engine Installation Methods, by Tony Bengelis. The instrument panel has two groups, engine instruments and flight instruments. I do not have any (installation) book on this. Flight instruments and engine instruments are explained in detail in many PPL,&CPL training books.
I have a week at home to work on airplane. Hopefully, I can finish with the fuselage in this session.
Have fun.
Champ
