Ron...I'm doing pre-cover inspection now on my CH701. How may drill holes for drainage did you inspector specify ? Were drain holes specified in the wings in addition to the fuselage ?
Thanks for the compliments on the 701 videos, I try hard to share what’s going on. My airport identifier is 12WV, it is on airnav also if u want to look it up. Glad your staying with a 701,I really like the way they perform, I have you beat a little on the time, I have about 570 on mine, over 100 of those in the last year!
stay in touch and if u want to drop in sometime let me know.
Hi Ron. I do remember you ,didn't see you last year at Zenith Open House in Midland. I am still based in NC3 Brampton, are you going to keep your plane in Bradford? Did you buy your plane locally. I have called you a few times over the last few years but you never answer.Hope to run into you soon now that your back in the air. Tks Wayne

Ron, the flat spring gear is shorter take off ,because of ground effect lift , easier to enter / exit and easier to fuel , but too low for some piers
