Jim (and others),
I think you will find that a vacuum pump is an available oprion on all
Rotax 912 and 914 engines. Additional weight is 1.8 pounds.

I've seen a 912S with a vacuum pump and standard Gyro panel, so it must be
possible. fwiw

Greetings,
ZAC claims to get a 50% discount from Roadway, it's true. I had a 701
kit (everything but fuselage) shipped from ZAC to Western NY. An internet
quote from Roadway was about $240.00, from ZAC the actual cost was $117.00.

Why, funny you should mention that... questions like this are easily
answered using the "Homebuilder Locator Database" at
http://www.matthewmucker.com/builder_directory.asp.
Go to that link, scroll down to "Find Builders by Airport," type in "DFW"
and click "Submit."
After admiring that ugly math equation that I had to derive (and spending a
few seconds in meditative admiration for the guy who wrote the website <g>),
scroll down and get contact information for the builders closest to dfw
airport!

Z.A.C have said they are making drawings for the Continental 0-200 engine
mount which I beleive will be the same as for the C series. as at least 4
are required in the UK and they were advertised as available with the Kit,
but those supplied did not fit. Ray Lasnier is completing remainder of his
601 HD while he waits. He needs this information from Z.A.C. for P.F.A.
Inspector to pass a mount if he builds one. Suggest you contact Nick Heintz

Matt,
I've been a long time user and contributor to the Zenith List you maintain
and really appreciated what it has done for my building and post building
support.
I have an electrical question maybe you could help me with or steer me in
the right direction if you don't mind.
I am working on a wing leveler for my Zodiac and am will be using a MEMS
chip (solid state gyro). The chip only comes in a BALL GRID ARRAY package.
What I need is a source for a prototype board that will accept BGA type
devices so I can then plug that into my breadboard for debugging purposes.
Do you know of such a source? If not, do you have any engineer type
acquaintances that may be able to help?
Regards,
Bill

| Subject: | Stabilizer Ribs & Spar Connection |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "W.R. \"Gig\" Giacona" <wr.giacona@cox-internet.com>
It's Sunday Zenith is closed and I have a question.
The plans say the Stabilizer ribs are attached with 2 A4s but you are
going through skin, doublers & rib. That seems a little thick for an A4.
There is also text in the manual that makes it seem like there are A4s &
A5s. (4 total per rib.) But I don't see that on the plans.
Looking at the photos at the Zenith Builders there are clearly 2 A5 clecos
except in the 360mm positions where there is no doublers.
I noticed all this after building with 2 A5s in each rib except in the 360mm
position where I have A4s.
I haven't riveted yet just clacked but I'm ready to rivet up the stabilizer
skeleton except for this.
Any help would be appreciated. I get the digest so please also please reply
direct as well.

Gig,
Chris Heinz recently published a statement in the Zenith Newsletter that
covers "most often"
things they are asked. One of them is about the distinction between
A4 and A5 usage. "It's generally O.K. to use A5s in place of A4s". I'd
assume this is stated
to fix an oversized 1/8" hole or simply get a better grip for thickness.
You can use your
descretion on this issue. Of course, one would not substitute A5s with A4s
in any case.
Hope this helps,
Larry C. McFarland - 601hds @ http://www.macsmachine.com

Doug,
Did you look at the alternators on the AeroElectric Connection?
They have several. Cheap I'm not sure about.

Hi Bill,
If Matt can't help, try Don Honabach. He is not an elctrical engineer but he has
designed some of his own high end custom electronics complete with custom burned
circuit boards. I bet he could help, and it might even motivate him to get
out of his 2+ year building slump.
Worth a try.

Doug; Great Plains Aircraft, www.greatplainsas.com sells a belt driven
alternator for $89.96. Weight is 6 1/2lbs. Output is supposed to be
approx. 40 amps.
I also know of some people using a John Deere small tractor alternator of 35
amps and about 6 pounds. Have no idea of the price.

Hi Bill,
Check the following links:
http://www.adapters.com/catalog/BGA_solutions.pdf
www.adapter-tech.com
http://www.emulation.com
http://www.arieselec.com
Depending on your debug system, and the number of pins on the package, you
may need
an adapter that is mounted to a small PCB to break-out the pins to something
you can
easily get onto. The smaller BGA packages are on 0.8mm spacing up to about
1.27mm.
These adapters are not cheap, and typically run in the hundreds of dollars
(maybe not
so much for a low pin count package).
I would be interested in what you are working on, as I want a wing leveler
on my
601XL, but decided I would go with the TRU TRAC system ($$). I am an EE,
and design
and fabricate PCB for a living on a contract basis, so I can help you out
with that
part of it. Nowadays, the fabrication and assembly of PCB is dirt cheap due
to
fabrication overseas (Im sorry to say, as this is not good for our American
economy),
if productization or assembly of a few protos is desired.
Send me the product link, as I would be interested in looking at it.
