Optional Repositioning of CH-701 NoseWheel

By moving the nose wheel to the inside of the firewall, it allows for a 6 inch movement of the engine towards the firewall. This then allows for a better center of gravity with a more powerful engine.

Oh Dang! I want one. Really looks good, great job, can't wait till it flies.

What is the reason for moving the nose wheel?

[@muddydirtclaud4904]

So is this considered a "CH 701TX" or "CH 701XT" (Turbo Extreme or Extreme Turbo) I mean it's really up to you. I just love the whole Idea.

What was/is the driving force behind this modification?

[@eggenfellner]

Bigger engine for this smaller aircraft, allows us to get the engine mount close to the firewall.

surprised your not using your bungee, instead of the pucks.

[@eggenfellner]

We would, but easier to just leave it for now, we prefer the steel bungee and the way to tension our steel bungee is much easier versus the "prying"
