David Sometimes the screwups become a memorable part of the building process.
Somehow I built 2 left flaps for one of the first RV3s to fly about a hundred
yrs ago. Didn't discover it 'till I had the whole chapter over to help with
first assembly. Thought I was gonna have to call an ambulance for a couple
of them as they were hyperventilating while rolling around on the ground laughing.
Traded one of the flaps to another builder for a really nice carb air box.
That was almost 30 yrs ago and they STILL laugh about it at meetings. Just
keep building, it ain't brain surgery. LOW&SLOW John Bolding

Hi Don;
I installed my Ack ELT on the stringers behind the passenger seat. The
antenna is further back on the turtle deck. The VHF com antenna is just
behind the luggage bulkhead.

Hi Don,
My ELT came with very detailed installation instructions and a listing of
the regulations for a 'legal' installation. There was a minimum distance
from other antennae requirement. Also it is highly desirable to install the
unit on a good solid part of the structure that will be sure to transmit any
impacts to the unit.
Mine just happened to fit exactly into my battery racks in the tail section,
which I figured fit the bill. I installed the antenna by removing the rear
fiberglass 'saddle' molding and reaching in from behind.
Regards,
Grant

Aircraft Spruce and Specialty sells a nice aluminum flange for about
$5 each that comes in whatever diameter you want. Cut your firewall hole,
bolt one flange on each side for a bulkhead, plumb up the flex tubing (high
temp stuff on the engine side) and you're there. Can't comment on the CO
aspects. Sealing all the holes sounds like a good idea, especially with
winter flying. The CO detector will be part of my essential equipment list
and mounted where it will catch my eye if it goes off.

Subject: Zenith-List: Holes in the firewall
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Mark A. Wood" <Mark.Wood@uvm.edu>
Hello all.
With the talk about the steering rods and CO issues I have been
thinking about other holes in my firewall. I am using an O-200 and I
need to hook up a heating system. I have a heat exchanger and I am
putting together a mixing box for hot and cold air. I am just a
little unsure about the idea of a 2in. Dia hole in my firewall to
bring the air in.
I assume I should seal a metal tube through the firewall and connect
red flex tubing to both sides of this. Anyone have any other good
bits of info to share on this?
Thanks

I'm going to install my ELT horizontally to the floor of the rear
baggage area. There is an L angle brace running laterally underneath the
floor some 10-16 inches ahead of the rear bulkhead. I'm going to add a
couple more L's fore and aft between the L brace and the bulkhead. Will
space them apart in such a manner that the ELT will bolt into them through
the floor. I plan to mount the antenna just ahead of the bulkhead making
for a short and very accessible cable connection. This may not be the most
eye pleasing approach, but makes the servicabililty much easier.

Hi Everyone,
I'm getting ready to purchase an ELT for my 601 and was hoping for some
recommendations on the location for both the antenna and unit itself,
and which models have worked for others. I've read and talked with a few
builders that have put the ELT antenna right behind the rear baggage
locker floor bulkhead which sounded like a good idea. As for the unit
itself, my initial thoughts were to put the actual unit in the area
behind the 'seats' or somewhere in the baggage locker area. Also, does
anyone know if any regulations coming down the line that would make the
current basic models of ELTs obsolete.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Reinforcing the Baggage Shelf to hold the ELT just behind the seatbacks, puts it
in a place where it's easily turned on and off as required and allows ready
battery servicing. The antenna can mount on the turtle back, so that's easy.
You want that antenna up, assuming you can make a forced landing and keep the
wheels down.

Don,
I put my ACK unit back on a hinged door
that drops down from the tails third bay.
The bottom plate is a doubler that reaches
and replaces the std angle at each end.
Drawing and images can be viewed at lower set of pictures
for large assembly\fuselage to center section.
Not as difficult as it looks.

Hi Don,
I mounted mine behind the passenger seat. I made a
channel that is riveted both to the rear centerwing
spar and the channel.

| Subject: | Fuel shut-off valve for CH601 |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "George Swinford" <grs-pms@attbi.com>
I need a recommendation for a simple on-off fuel shut-off valve which can be operated
by a remote handle. This valve will be located on the bottom of my 8 gallon
fuselage tank with the operating handle on a sub-panel below the center of
the instrument panel. The valve will be connected to the handle by a shaft,
probably a length of small diameter steel tubing.
The valve furnished by Zenith is quite stiff to turn and has a short stub of a
shaft holding a handle made of metal with a 90 degree twist. I'm hoping for a
valve with a longer shaft and less resistance to turning. Your ideas and suggestions
will be appreciated.
George Swinford
