It is a CH701, built just as designed by Chris Heintz, and is one of the 600 or so flying all around the world built to his specs. We made no changes. Build yours like you want - we can each do that right? I feel that if I keep the bubbles out of the line, the tanks will feed evenly. Enough on this topic....Fred.For Jerry and Bob, yes, the demo 701 does have a header tank.do not archive |

Hello Fred,
The problem why Fritz is not flying with you is because you CHANGED the kit system:
You are using clear hoses, I made my fuel system as the plans, WITH the black hose that comes with the kit. So Fritz will be perfectly safe flying witrh me around Chapala Lake,, he will not see any bubbles in the gasoline hoses.
 
Just a Joke. Sorry, couldnt resist.
Saludos

Flying happy without dangerous bubbles in Chapala, Mexico.
Do not archive of course.

That reminds me of the best night off field landing advice I ever heard....
"Conserve the battery and wait until you get down to 100 AGL to turn on the landing lights. If you don't like what you see..... turn them back off."

Do Not Archive this either
