Hi Group!
My wife and I have decided to build a 601-XL from kit components and we were just
notified by ZAC that the empennage kit was shipped today. I'm sure that most
of the assembly is fairly straightforward. However, evey kit I have worked
on has its own pecularities. I would appreciate a heads-up from 601 builders
on any part of the empennage assembly where you had problems or think a newbie
builder might run into potential troubles.
If you happen to be visiting Las Vegas and would like to see an XL in the nest,
please e-mail us.
Best wishes,
Jim and Carolyn Cullen

Right.
If I can find a file that resolves foreign postal codes and airports to
latitude/longitude, I can add that to the database.

There are several good places to make mistakes in the
tail. Check out my site at www.toddtown.com to see the
ones I made. I made some of the very common ones, so maybe
you can avoid these.

(subtitled "Solving the Brent Battles problem." <g>)
All,
I'm really, really, really afraid of what's going to happen to my web server
here, but I think that the builder locator database is ready for testing.
There are currently 49 builders in the database, all but one of them are
Zenith builders. (One record didn't make it from the test to the live
database, so if you registered on the test database, make sure you still
exist in the live database.)
My code is, I think, working, but the stress y'all are going to put on the
server will tell for sure.
Just so you know why I'm fearful, here's the query that the web server runs
against the database:
Select TOP 10 BuilderName, BuilderNum, BuilderAircraftMake,
BuilderAircraftModel, BuilderCity, State, ((Atn(-((sin(Latitude) *
sin(0.570296874877829) + cos(Latitude) * cos(0.570296874877829) *
cos(Longitude - -1.6933788635836)))/ Sqr((-((sin(Latitude) *
sin(0.570296874877829) + cos(Latitude) * cos(0.570296874877829) *
cos(Longitude - -1.6933788635836)))* ((sin(Latitude) *
sin(0.570296874877829) + cos(Latitude) * cos(0.570296874877829) *
cos(Longitude - -1.6933788635836))))+1))+2*Atn(1))*57.29746) AS Distance2,
Int(Int(Distance2) *60 + (Distance2 - Int(Distance2)) * 60) AS Distance from
Builders, RadianZipCodes WHERE Builders.BuilderZip = RadianZipCodes.ZIP
ORDER BY ((Atn(-((sin(Latitude) * sin(0.570296874877829) + cos(Latitude) *
cos(0.570296874877829) * cos(Longitude - -1.6933788635836)))/
Sqr((-((sin(Latitude) * sin(0.570296874877829) + cos(Latitude) *
cos(0.570296874877829) * cos(Longitude - -1.6933788635836)))*
((sin(Latitude) * sin(0.570296874877829) + cos(Latitude) *
cos(0.570296874877829) *
cos(Longitude - -1.6933788635836))))+1))+2*Atn(1))*57.29746)
Is that a hideously monstrous SQL query, or what!? I think I can hear the
web server scream in agony every time I hit this page. Anyone with a spare
pair of fast Pentium II processors want to make a donation? (For the
curious, the complexity of the query is necessary since the Jet database
engine doesn't support an acos() function natively; it must be derived to
compute great circle distance.)
In any case, the database is live at
www.matthewmucker.com/builder_directory.asp. Go check it out.
Please email me with problems or suggestions.
Please do NOT pass on the URL to others until we've exercised this system
for a few days.
Don't be too surprised if I take the database down if problems are
discovered.
-Matt

Hi guys,
Thanks for the info on painting. I think more thought my be required. I would like
to do it myself if possible to try to keep the cost down. When completed I
would like a finish that is easy to repair if chips etc. happen. My friend paid
a lot of money to have his RV6 painted and he is not happy. The paint used
will not let him remove his fuel tank screws without ripping off the paint around
each screw.
Regards
Paul UK.

Hi Todd:
Many thanks for your reply. Actually, I came across your web site while
Carolyn and I were researching which airplane we wanted to build and I took
the liberty of printing out copies of your Builders' Logs! I hope you get
to continue work on your airframe (and stay ahead of us by a few months!) so
we can learn more from you. I'm pretty handy with avionics -- I installed
an entire UPSAT/Apollo IFR stack in our Cherokee 180 (under the supervision
of an A&P) and would be happy to return the favor if you need any help in
that area.
I'm relatively literate when it comes to computers but not at all when it
comes to web sites and I'd like to set up one similar to yours. I have
Microsoft FrontPage on my computer but haven't had enough time to diddle
with it to learn it. Any suggestions on how I might speed up the learning
curve would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again and if you ever make it to Las Vegas, look us up.

A quick lesson I learned today.
Since I work crazy work schedues and it doesn't make sense to have Roadway deliver
the kit into my subdivision, I pick the kits up from the Roadway terminals.
I picked up the wing kits today and looked at the Invoice.
Roadway will charge you a $33.30 fee just to call you and tell you it is ready
to be picked up. In the future, I will just monitor their website and call them
myself to see if it is ready. Worst thing of it, they called my cell phone
which I have to also pay the minute charge for (my fault for giving them that
number as well).
Im just happy my wing kit has arrived.

Is Roadway the best way to have a kit shipped? Since we are paying for the
shipping do we have a choice on which carrier to use or does ZAC exclusively
use Roadway because of price? Jack Russell Fresno-Chandler CA

One day, the pilot of a RV-6 was told by the tower to hold short
of the runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned
around, and taxied back past the RV-6. Some quick-witted comedian
in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute little plane.
Did you make it all by yourself?" Our hero the RV-6 pilot, not about to
let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8
parts.
Another landing like that and I'll have enough parts for another one."
There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing
because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked". Air
Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two behind a
B-52 that had one engine shut down. "Ah", the pilot remarked, " the
dreaded seven-engine approach".
A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While
attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was your
last known position?"
Student: "When I was number one for takeoff".
Taxiing down the tarmac, the DC10 abruptly stopped, turned around and
returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off. A
concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What was the problem?"
"The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine,"
explained the flight attendant," and it took us a while to find a new
pilot."
"Flight 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 degrees.."
"But Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"
"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"
