For weight reasons, I'd prefer to put that couple extra pounds out on the right wing-tip.

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?

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.

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.

If it weighs anything - stick it in the right wing to counteract the lead in the left seat ; ) jeff do not archive ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 06:40:00 PM PST US From: Fred Poor Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Landing light location / one on each wing --> Zenith-List message posted by: Fred Poor I am installing the landing light on one wing and the taxi light on the opposite wing. Reason: when taxing on the ramp at night, I can switch from one to the other ( if I have to) to check any blind (dark) areas.
