Hello to you fellow Canadian. Bob im working down in Windsor Ont. right now and I see your on this site quite a bit. Do you know anyone in this area withen 100 miles that has a flying 701? Most places I work I like to look up builders and go see there projects. But I would love to actually go for a flight in one that is complete.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the info. I'll phone him up tonight and figure all of this out.

My CH701 is HOMEBUILT (experimental) so not a AULA.

Regards,

Norm

Hi Bob, maybe you could help me with that one !

What type of paperwork did Bob Stuart presented to TC for the registration process ???

TC says bill of sale, lease or ...?

Regards,

Norm

Yeah Gidday Bob. Can't have it looking too good otherwise I'll be too scared to get it dirty on the beach and in paddocks with sheep $#!*..........It's getting into your summer so I guess your new skis will have to wait untill next winter. Cheers.

Bob... I have the 912UL 80hp... I've got two "spring loaded ball joint" units to be welded from Zenith and the Tig just got a new bottle of Ar... tomorrow or Monday we start to configure and rebuild the exhaust.

Hi Bob,

Congratulations are in order for the other Bob !! Thanks for the paint tip !

I had a very good price and the guy was very knowledgeable. Only thing left is to paint that CH701 !

Thanks again.

Bob,

If you have trouble viewing the pdf attachments, please email me at Nick@Zenair.com and I will resend the 2 attachments to show the front strut fitting for the 750, no welding is required on the engine mount.

- Fuselage mounting hardware for the STOL is an additional $390.00

Fuselage mounting hardware for the CH 750 is needed for attaching the struts to the fuselage. This includes a steel frame at the firewall area and steel brackets which attach to the main gear fittings.

No welding is required - please refer to the two attached pdf document attached.

Bob---

I checked out the distance to Cobden, 7hr 47min, 589km. Our place is acturally in Sowerby, Ont which is about 9km east of Thessalon on a lake named Little Basswood. We have some friends that live in Dunrobin which is just north of Ottawa.

I Googled CPF4 on earth map and it looks very much like the field that I fly out of in Harvard, IL (0C0) grass with 3 runways.

Hope to see you in September. KIT,

Tom

GOOD'AY BOB---

I sent one comment but being new at the art of getting messages sent,something crazy must have happen in the delivery.

Anyway,  you never know when my wife and I will show up at your door to take you up on the transition to the 701/750. We have a place near Thessalon, Ont. and usually leave there in September, so a trip to Ottawa is not out of the realm of thing to happen. What town are you near north of Ottawa?

Thanks for the offer,and as I said you never know!

Hi Bob,

I couldn't find where in the chapter 459 it is said that teflon tape should not be used. If you can find this for me, please let me know where it is. I'm currently working with an EX MD-RA inspector to finish my plane and he is the one putting together my fuel system ???

The VG's make the difference in safety for landing without ANY doubt.... however... I'm enjoying the HUGE extra lift I get when cruising as well!!  I don't fly any faster, but I AM capable of getting to altitude MUCH faster... haven't taken her above 10k alt yet... but I'd bet I can bump up against 12k Oxygen limits with the VG's!!

 

Fly safe bud!!

Hi Bob,

 

The 601 is registered with a rotax 912, I don't know where you seen Jabiru.. it used to be a jabiru but it isn't anymore, on the website it says 912 though.. I think what the guy from Zenair said was just to put the floats on without letting anyone know so it stays as an AULA , he said if we actually wanted Zenair to approove of it we would have to take it there so they can do testing so it would be the frist 601 in canada with floats. I'm going to try and get a hold of him again to see if he has the mounting specs.

 

Thank you.

Hi Bob,

 

The display picture is our old plane, it only had a 65HP 2 stroke engine, we ended up buying a CH 601 HD with rotax 912UL (80HP), the registration is C-FRBC in canada, it's an advanced ultralight. I beileve my father contacted the guy from Midland and said he didn't have the specs for it. Docking wouldn't be much of an issue because we plan on building a hangar and pull out of the water each time, we live on the lake so it would be convenient. I've tried looking on the internet for specs but can't really find them, I have EDO floats for it, which are very simlar to Zenair's floats.  I Have attached a picture of our plane.

 

Thank you,

Brody

 

Hi Bob:  Not good at computers.  This 3rd time attempting to reply. Gimme a chainsaw. Got your joke about Italian Mallards.  Started growing up in Sault Ste. Marie.

I like the looks of your skis.  Strong, no none sense. 

My dad and uncle were prospectors and worked mostly around Blind River. Looking for gold but found uranium.  They had a 108-3 and a super cub both on floats and skis of course.  The combo skis were not as good as the big solid skis in deep soft snow. Good thing they had the solid skis on one day when landing on 10 mile lake one spring as dad landed long and ran out of ice.  I was in the back and heard him holler 'Cripes almighty!  and the engine revved up.  We water skied to the beach with the tail high.

The drillers fashioned a float from 45 gal drums to get us back to the ice.  Got home in time for the hockey game.  After that event the spring lay up from skis to floats was greatly shortened.  Uncle just died recently, 99. Said he had enough and would die on the full moon in Feb.  He did!

My project is proceeding slowly as I'm modifying for more strength as I will be using a Mazda 13b of 200 hp. which I think will be good for float flying in the mountains. W/B should be interesting but I may use the 801 wing to smooth the numbers.

Bye for now.  Brian

Your skis look good Bob, must be great to get out flying in the snow, always looks good on a nice day. Re my EA81, it has flown 20 hours on a Ragwing Storch so I have not changed anything for my installation, even the radiator and oil cooler will fit under the cowl in a similar position. Cheers, & happy flying.

Hello Bob,

Nice workmanship on those skis!

Steve

Hi Bob:

Don't I wish to fly like a gull.

Thanks.  The inspection wasn't too painful but waiting for the paperwork was.  Lots of details have to be looked after on Canadian paperwork.  Fortunately I was traveling lots for work so I didn't mind the waiting too much
