Monoleaf main spring corrosion
After 4 years of operation in salt water the major problem that I encountered was corrosion of the Monoleaf main spring.I attribute this to the electrolysis phenomenon and due to the fact that the monoleaf main spring is of different aluminum alloy than the rest of the aiplane.Other than that the airplane is corrosion free. I welcome any suggestions for avoiding this in the future.

Do you recommend the "Vortex Generators" for the 701?

I built my floats from plans.They are not quite finished yet.Are you using a "Soft Start Module" on your engine to retard the timing?I have the same engine but have not started it yet.The "Soft StartModule" is supposed to reduce "Kickback" on start up.
Heinz Genrich
Thank you for getting back to me.I also spoke to Bob Jones and he said his angle of:Incidense" is set at 3/1 2 degrees.Could it be that you have a different engine than the 912S
Heinz Genrich
What is that angle in degrees between your wing and the top of the floats?
Heinz Gerich
You are very close to where a lot of my family lives. We are originally from Poro and Galata, but I have family in Megara and Vlihada. I also have family on Salamina in Psili Ammo and Agios Giorgis between Xeno and Steno. I have been to the Perama many times to take the ferry boat over to Megara. It is a small world!
I am building a 601XL powered by a Corvair motor that I built. I am about 75% finished. Feel free to take a look at my pictures and video. There are not many pictures, but I'll be adding more soon. I hope to be done this year around fall.
Good luck
