We had fun putting this video together to show the folding wing option on our STOL CH750 prototype plane.

It looks like you could scratch those windows with the wing root if you aren't careful since they stick out...what?...4 " more than flush windows?

You are quite right. Thank you for the clarification.

Comment by Sebastien Heintz on May 7, 2010 at 1:08pm - Kevin - I think you're confusing the 701 info with the 750. This video shows the only ("production") system for the STOL CH 750. For the STOL CH 750, the wing pivots by the rear spar area and "folds down" (as shown in this video clip), while with the 701 the wing pivots by the main spar area and "folds up"

Pardon my ignorance. I know this is the prototype and the fold style may have changed.
Looking at this, the front spar disconnects and the wing folds downward.
On the folding photo gallery, it looks like a later design folds by disconnecting the rear spar and folding upward.
Which is the production design?

Well done!
Now, having purchased the 701 folding option with my kit last month, I wonder what Rodger Clarke below means.
I gather the 701 fold is different. I guess I'll read the plans now to see what is involved (forward cross tube).
Are there any videos of a 701 fold? I'd love to see one.
Thanks,
Joe

Bring it on for the 701 please.
Sooo much better than the forward cross tube design.
