Final Inspection! Done!

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 7:17am 9 Comments

Passed my Final Inspection!!! Went very well just a couple of label snags. I had installed the "EXPERIMENTAL" Decals in my cockpit and that is a different class here in Canada, so I had to remove. Just have to wait on my papers from Transport Canada then off to my first flight. I have been training in Doug Pelton's plane and it has been great. His plane flies awesome. I will post my first flight in the next two weeks or sooner I hope......

Hi Mark,

Your right, not many 701 flyers really fly the backcountry. I’ve been trying to get a group together of 701 flyers here in the southwest to do some backcountry flying and nothing is happening. So I just fly around by my self. I would be interested in anything you learn about backcountry flying in Canada. I hope to spend some tine up there.

Hi Mark,

I see I was the only answer to your post for back country flying information. Did you get a chance to look at those two web sites? If so where they what you were looking for?

Your machine looks lovely, and the idea for the wing levelers is great. Shame we cant get such things in the bush... Keep up the good work...

Hi Mark Mine is powered by the 80hp rotax 912. Its a nice engine and runs well. I fly out of the Lloydminster airport. I put skis on it last winter. I love fling it. When I trim it out it flies beautifully hands off . It always gets attention when I take it to flyin breakfasts and people want to see just how steep you can climb out.

Hi Mark I am Barney Creech. I live at Lloydminster and fly a 701. I am not a builder so I bought mine 2 years ago from a retired doctor in Saskatoon. Where are you from? When do you hope to have yours flying? I also have a Sonex.

What an inspector looks for is located at www.md-ra.com. Once the inspector make a snag list for you then it is up to the inspectors discretion as to how the repair will be approved. Typically they will leave it up to you and sometimes they may ask for a picture for the repair. On rare occasion they may wish a re-visit before you can close up an assembly. I have only heard of one inspector doing a re-visit, it was not on a Zenith design and the inspector actually had to arrange for the fellow to have help.
