    Subject: Landing light location
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Rico Voss <vozzen@yahoo.com> For all you experienced pilots out there--- Is there a reason that a single landing light is usually seen on the left wing? For weight reasons, I'd prefer to put that couple extra pounds out on the right wing-tip.

    Subject: Re: fitting wings / 701
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Doon47@aol.com Shay - The wing attachments are fairly straightforward. The forward tab fits in the frame slot and the rearward wing tab goes in front of the frame tab. Once these are clamped the wing can be raised and lowered until correct tip heighth is achieved. Ive completed my jury struts and it wasn't difficult to drill through the steel main struts but I don' t have fairings. Where did you get those strut fairings anyway? Chip Muldoon doon47@aol.com

    Subject: Email reply to digest posts
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Carlos Sa <carlosfsa@yahoo.com> Wayne, this has to be done manually: First hit "reply", and the whole digest mail is copied and preceded by ">" (if your email application is so configured). Next, copy the email address from the text (select the address and press "ctrl" and "c". For example, your address is quoted below, between < and >). Then, position the cursor in the "To:" field of your email application. Paste the email address by pressing "ctrl" and "v". Finaly, cleanup the body of the email, leaving only the pertinent parts for reference in your reply.

    Subject: Stabilizer Skin Bending
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Scott Laughlin" <cookwithgas@hotmail.com> Listers: I know many of you are past this stage, but if you are plans-building and have not bent your stabilizer skin, I want to report that the ZAC drawing suggestion of making a plywood section with a 24mm spacer and pressing down on the sheet works GREAT! It takes two people and some care, but I was surprised at the results. I did it last night and ended up with an excellent bend with no wrinkles. I found out this is new to the drawings (6T2-4) so if you have an old set, you may want to drop me a line and I'll explain how to do it. I have been looking at Zodiac builder photos on web sites for months and I don't remember seeing mention of this method. You can see the board I built on my website under "Stabilizer Construction." Better yet, clicky: http://www.cooknwithgas.com/5_01_03Bentskin2.jpg You can see the board on the left and the skin clamped and bent on the right. The spacer is the length of the board and is 24mm thick. My hat's off to the Zenith guys for coming up with this time-saving trick. Take care, Scott Laughlin 601XL Plans http://www.cooknwithgas.com

    Subject: Re: Landing light location
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Ron DeWees" <rdewees@mindspring.com> Re landing lights.. I don't think there is anything sacred about the left wing except that the pilot can see it easier than from the right wing, but my A&P told me that early Cessna 172s with the light on the left wing kept the bulbs for hundreds of student landings but that newer ones with light on the nose strut went out in a number of hours because of engine vibration and landing bounce. Don't know if the vibration is that bad on the Zenairs or not, but was true on spam cans.

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Fred Poor <fredspoor2002@yahoo.com> I am installing the landing light on one wing and the taxi light on the opposite wing.
