We are holding another lunch for those attending the Zenith Rudder Workshop in March.

This has become a very enjoyable event for us as well as for the workshop attendees and Zenith Staff. The lunch is free, and is held at American Light Sport Aircrafters Builder Assist & Assembly Center just over 3…

Photo of damaged tail section ready for trailering.  Prop ate rudder & elevator to the hinges and bent stabilizer.  This damaged the upper longerons at the mount points to stabilizer.  Repair is estimated to take five weeks.   

Next photo of a/c w/ wings removed for trailering.  Look closely at tail to see that it is gone.…

My son and I rented a truck, and picked up the tail kit at the truck terminal - his first time seeing one of those.  We used a couple of furniture dollies to move the crate.  Then, while we had the truck, we picked up an air compressor and some wood for the workbench.  Next is to build the work bench.  

Hi group. Has anyone successfully fixed a heavy left wing problem?

 After my first test flight I needed almost full right aileron trim to get back to wings level.

I have tried adjusting the LH flap down 3mm but this had almost no effect!

I cannot measure any wing incidence differences between the wings.

There is almost no appreciable wing drop on stall.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'v been thinking of building a plane for years and just bought the plans for a 701 and have spent more time printing every thing out ,and trying to decide what to build and what to buy ? well the rudder kit sayes it takes about 12 hours and testing the waters with junk I had laying around from scratch I built a 100%mockup of the rudder in less time then the 12 hr for the kit and this included cuting the forming blocks and fabercating the part's assembly was the shortist time (note) this is…

We are trying to install the Ray Allen position sensor for the flap.  We have the linear motor and the Ray Allen sensor which moves 1.2 inch.  Has anyone out there installed this combination, and could you share a description and pictures?  We know the flap arm travels 52mm but the sensor only travels 30mm.

We have the wiring ok to the panel indicator.

thanks, Wes & Lurlene Bressler

Reality TV is for sissies. Honestly, I have seen these programmes of 'challenges' in remote areas - they are really not reality at all... IF you want reality, you have to spend some time amongst the real life challenges that West Africa has on offer - in abundance, raw and ready to make you question the 'necessities' that we all take for granted - after all, YOU have power and a computer in front of you - and they work, as does your internet connection.... so that is a…

I've been too busy building to bother adding posts!  Anyways, cut out the skin, drilled, made the front and rear supports, clecoed the skin back on, marked out the front slot and slots for front supports, took the skin off, cut the slots, deburred everything, painted joint areas with primer and riveted the supports (7H2-6 and 7H2-7, I think they are) into place.

Today I put the skin back on (obviously had to cleco the curved side first, in order to slip over the front supports),…
