<p>I shared this on the 801 board, but figured you all might enjoy it. It's a little look at flying our 801 that we bought in October of last year. Hope you like it!</p>

</p> Tundra Tires on CH801tag:zenith.aero,2020-02-20:2606393:Topic:7103452020-02-20T19:00:21.795ZSimon Turnerhttps://zenith.aero/profile/SimonTurner
<p>Hi. Has anyone had experience with fitting large tires to their 801? I want to fit 26' to the nose and 29' to the mains. My engineer is asking for an example of it being done previously. I can find examples of 701s and 750s fitted with large tires, but not the 801. Has anyone seen an 801 with tundra tires fitted? Any assistance much appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>On Sunday 7/16 about 12:30, My lovely CH801 made its last landing.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Gusty cross caused a bounce when I touched back down the nose gear collapsed, we slid about 50 feet, it grabbed the sod, and flipped. Nothing but band aid sized injuries for myself and PAX gotten as we crawled out. The rugged cage did its job and protected us. It was a lousy landing but not any worse than some before and better than many. But this time the bungee, failed and allowed nose to drop sufficiently for prop to dig which started the rest of the sequence.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Upon examination it turned out that the 2 year old bungee had already failed over half way through since last oil change before Easter when it was visually inspected. I had it on my upgrade list to install a steel spring and shock mod during inspection in Oct, and possibly would have caught it during oil change which was supposed to happen today.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Check your bungees often or better yet do the steel bungee upgrade or equivalent. I have a design for a simple rugged, easy upgrade that should cost around $100 to do.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Total time on aircraft was ~180 hours since new, got its papers in 12/2013. I put 158 hours and 305 landings on it at 84 airports, private grass strips and duster strips in that time. AC is total loss. requiescat in pace N801G. On the brighter side, anyone out there have an 801 airframe or partial kit they want to sell? Depending on insurance outcome, I may by the wreck and transfer a lot of nice slightly used parts.</p>

<p>Compressions at last annual</p>
<p></p>
<p>The sale includes,</p>
<p>1. <strong>Complete Continental 0-200</strong>, ready to fly, w/Slick mags, spin on oil filter, light weight starter, alternator, carburator w/air box, and engine baffling.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Zenith engine mount and a customized Zenith cowling</strong>, as engine still has the Cessna exhaust and mufflers which makes it wider, but much quieter than the standard straight pipe exhaust.</p>
<p>3.<strong>Custom Warp Drive 3 blade, ground adjustable prop</strong>, w/tapered blades and nickel leading edge, with prop spinner.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As near as we can tell we have all of the engine logs since new.</p>
<p>Logs indicate that the engine was purchased from Wentworth after the Cessna 150 it was installed in was blown over while tied down. The engine was not running at the time so there was no prop strike. It has had approximately 200 hrs put on it since installation in this 750 and has never had any incidents of failure or poor performance. It starts easily, runs smoothly every time!</p>
<p>For more information contact Bill Carter (573-721-4400) (friend of owner and original builder of the plane). PLEASE call between 10 AM and 8:30 PM central time only.</p>
<p>Bill can answer most of the questions, and if you're seriously interested he can arrange for you to see and hear the engine run, or possibly even take a ride and see for yourself. As of 2-3-16 the engine is still on my airplane However this may change as the engine will be changed out for my new 320 as soon as the weather breaks.</p>
<p><strong>This is a going to be a GREAT DEAL FOR SOMEONE</strong>. With all that is included this is <strong>setup & ready to fly</strong>. All you will need to do is install this motor mount and engine with included accessories into your airframe. Then attach your controls, & electrical. Add the included cowling, and you're ready to fly. It will save the buyer hours and hours of work, a lot of stress, and thousands of dollars over purchasing separate items.</p>
