Dear Listers,
As I write this its still November 30th so technically the List Fund Raiser
is still underway! :-) I've gotten so many nice comments from Listers in
the last couple of days along with their Contributions that I just had to
share them with the Lists. Guys, I really appreciate the kind words and
great support that has come in the last few days.
If you've been meaning to support your Lists this month but have just been
putting it off until the last absolute minute, now's a perfect time to make
that Contribution!

A special thank you to everyone that has already shown their support. I'm
compiling the List of Contributors and will post it in a couple days. In
the meantime, please read over some of the nice things people have been
saying about the List along with their Contribution...
Thank you!!!

Empty weight of the ZOD is 683lbs with a 100HP engine...They climb
pretty good!
I I forgot to mention my A/C is also unpainted and assembled with pop
rivets...There is no sign of corosion under the rivet heads either.
I'm really looking forward to building again, I have never driven a
solid rivet but I hope other sheet metal skills weill give me something
of a head start...:)

Interesting data point on the Zodiac. What do they weigh? I thought that
6061 was much weaker per pound than 2024 but not as corrosion prone
(hence the alclad on 2024). It would still be more corrosion prone than
the pure AL of the alclad coating on the skins, which is probably why
Van's recommends priming.
