Re: CH 701
Hi Goose, yes am back building now that the broken leg is useable .I had a set back on the 4 fuel tanks which had to be redone with thicker material even thought I followed the plans.Wasted 2 sheets of 0.025 6061, any way tanks are now done and fitted. I hope to have the main spars inspected this weekend and then rivet the top skins onto the wings.Then the build gets exciting as will then try fit wings to fuselage set dihedral and fit and drill wing struts.
I will post some photos shortly of the wings once riveted closed and then some photos of the wings fitted to fuselage.

Z-MRP it's good to hear you are still building. Every now and then there's a setback but you must keep going. It's always a achievement when the wings go on and it looks more and more like a real aircraft.
Re: CH 701
Busy working on closing up the wing tips along with a mod to fit a hatch in the wing tip panel to access nav wiring and create a small storage/baggage space.
Re: CH 701
Left wing completed as well as adding a storage hatch in the wing tip.
Re: CH 701
Good progress this last weekend. Right hand wing closed up and riveting completed.Now to do the wing tip fitting and inspection hatch in the wing tip.
Re: CH 701
Wings are now fitted. Dihedral is set now to start making up the wing struts
Re: CH 701
Getting closer to the end of the building and even closer to flying
Re: CH 701
I am looking for the drawings to make up the radiator mounting brackets for my CH701.I am using the rotax ring mounting and unfortunetly my plans only show radiator mounting for the old style of engine mounting.Possibly this drawing would also be in the CH750 plans.
Thanks in advance

Z-MRP you must be close to flying now
Re: CH 701
Hi Goose, build has progressed very well, little slow as I have been doing my CPL licence and IF rating.
Plane is 95% complete, last 5% of the build is taking the most time. All small fiddle work but getting there.Engine run up is done. MGL Efis unit powered up and tested.
Will try post a pic.

Re: CH 701
Hi Goose thanks for the follow up.Yes plane is complete and ready to start testing. I have been struggling for 2 months now to get the registration process completed.I am hoping in the next week or so to have satisfied the authorities documentation requirements.
I must apologize for not updating my build log just been ultra busy at work.
I will get some photos posted short

Re: CH 701
Finally got the Certificate of Registration done. Hopefully we will be able to test fly it some day soon once covid19 madness is over.Plane has been waiting since January to test fly.
