Hello,
My name is Mr. Michael Mccarthy, I have contacted you before without any response from you. Please replied if you receive this message. I have something very important to discuss with you, I have a vital information to give you. Could you please get back to me on (mmichaelmccarthy4@gmail.com ) for full details.
Michael Mccarthy.
Kevin... I made three identical (except for direction of the flanges) ribs for the Beanie... one in the center was supported by the diagonal crossbar, the forward crossbar and the rear fuselage roof. It was relatively easy and the Lexan formed smoothly over the top. I then trimmed the main wing root covers with a rubber edge trim to meet the Beanie. I've posted pictures here on this site. BTW, I also made a vent tower that has since been removed as I found it was not needed.
Thanks for the offer. I'll try to get those locally first.
I may call on you if I cant get them.
Thanks again.
Norm
Hello. I'd really appreciate that drawing. CH will sell me a mount, but not a print.. I'm trying to get that figured out along with the 750 wing skin splice for the inner and outer skins, to decide if I want to go one-piece. My email is coreychartier@yahoo.com. Thanks, Corey
Hi Kevin, Good to meet you here. How's gone with your 701? Not much progress with mine.
Hows the Tube going, the river one that is ..call me about fuel line for plane... BOB 907 - 892-7369
G'day Kevin,
Do you have any more information on Oleg's two part doors? How about your own version?
Cheers,
Paul Saccani
hey kevin im not shure if you got the other email the engine is from aero max the ww group i could not get intouch with them when i needed so it worked out better with aeromax they also have designed a stator charge system no belt and puts out plenty of power very light
the engine was test run for 2 hours they also made the motor mount they have the template so if its something your interested the cowl will be available as soon as i make a mold and test it and make shure the numbers are in the green, as of now after running 30 minutes the cht 250-300 oil temp 180-195 so after test flying checks out we willmake it available plus the cooling system is cooling plenums also we will have to test also if not convert back to old set up its been tested and flying with other planes working great but 701 flying slow we have to test be well joe

Ok this one is not that far from here, it's the kind of places that I want to go with the 701, did you said floats ? :-).
The air foil is somewhat lower than the root rib. The shape is derived by making a cardboard pattern of the wingroot top skin 7v9-3 then cutting the part that would extend over the top of the cabin in a straight line along the edge of the cabin. The profile formed is then used to make mdf form blocks . When the wing is mated to the fuselage the root top skin and the skin the cabin roof meet with a butt joint. The gap has to be the covered with a formed in place fiberglass fairing. If I were to do it again I would make it the same height as the root rib. In this case you would have to extend the cabin roof skin to the root rib. The wing root skin to be trimmed flush with root rib. Again a fiberglass fairing would be used to cover the gap. I got the idea to install cabin vents in the space created by the raised cabin but the rib I made is not high enough to accomodate the available eyeball vents. By making it the same size as the root rib would allow this.
yes it would change the cg , somthing to consider .
are you building from scratch you mentioned that your wings are longer with no slats .this is what i am planning to do as well, i just dont know if i will add to the nose ribs yet.
im just trying to determin the effects before i start building the wings .
good talking to you keep in touch
