    Hi Phil The latest pics, the bungee set up l have removed some of the nylon slide for the nose leg steering and made a plate to act as a bearing on the top to take some of the load from the bungee it is a lot smoother now . l only have 40 mm travel in the nose leg so the nose wheel should take up some of the shock its a 8.00x6.00 tyre. cheers Geoff.

    Its going to be new to me all l have ever flown is a tail dragger it becomes second nature for take off and landing so when my zenith 701 is finished l will have to learn to fly a nose aircraft it will be a new skill.

    Hi EK The same offer is also here if you are ever in Victoria you can choose between Drifter or the 701 when it is finished. cheers Geoff.

    Hi Phil Yes saw it couple days ago its an old one need a full rebuild. Don't know if l have my bungee to tight it took a good lever to instal it. cheers Geoff.
  16. skyfox1
    Hi Phil Put the nose leg and bungee on today cant believe how tight it is l am having trouble turning it side to side without a lever it seems to much load for the steering rods , l haven't install them yet have to weld a couple of gussets to them they seem weak where the rudder cable attaches. How tight are yours and can you move it side to side by hand at the push rod attachment points. cheers Geoff..

    Hi Phil Thanks the paint job isn't as good as l would like, using gloss two pack it shows up all the imperfection in the aluminum dents scratches from the past use, at least it is better than it was when l bought it. l still have my shopping list to get Lexan, Prop ,tyres ,brakes.Seats. So you are going for the new motor you may have to modify your cowling. cheers Geoff.

    Hi Met your welcome to come and go for a fly in my drifter when you get your endorsement do some real flying, l remember when l used to fly under 300 agl in the early 80 s l 5hit my self once when got up to 750ft in those days got caught in a thermal and up she went was in an Easy Riser so light took for ever to come down ,used to fly all over the farm at about 50 ft was legal then no license either . what a difference 30 years makes. cheers Geoff.

    Tell me if l am wrong but this is what l have been doing for years when l set up my aircraft mostly rotax 503s l always use adjustable pitch propellers . Because max revs for a 503 is 6800 l set static revs at 6600 so at full power on take off it shouldn't exceed 6800 rpm,it does varies a bit depending on air density. l have never set for max torque only rpm. cheers Geoff.

    Hi EK Thank you and a happy new to you and hope you have a great 2013. l hope you start a building project in the future Zenith 701 would be a good one for you, l hope to finish my project in a couple of months l have finished all the upgrades and in the process of paint parts then assembly starts all the fiddly bits what takes up a lot of time . cheers Geoff.
