The tail is complete and totally flat and warp free. I added another 4' particle board extension for the wings, will let you know how they come out.

    Subject: Re: Any advice?
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Bill Howerton" <Bill@Howerton.com> Well, everyone, I though I'd take a second to thank everyone again for all their advice, and let you know what I'm doing with your information. Based on everyone's advice, I plan to study the .pdf documents on-line along with my printed manuals, then will print up a color version of them as I prepare to work on each section that they pertain to. That way I think I get the best of both worlds -- up-to-date color diagrams, without draining the color printer of all its ink (in truth the color printer is my wife's printer - I use a b/w laser - so this helps minimize her annoyance with my newest hobby) My work table is now complete -- It is 4 feet wide by 12 feet long. I used 3/4 inch particle board which I screwed to a 2 X 4 lattice frame. This is being supported by three heavy-duty saw horses which I also screwed into that same frame. I then carefully worked to get it completely level. I have to admit, it took some work. My garage (like most of yours I'm sure) slopes downward to allow drainage Using a carpenter's level laid on the table's surface, I placed boards of increasing thicknesses under the legs of the horses to get the table level. I then drew a one-inch grid over the entire surface (yes, that was a tedious job) using black sharpies and dark-lead pencils. Knowing that I would be marking up the surface, and also out of a desire to protect the particle board from moisture and staining, I then applied three coats of clear polyurethane. I wanted the surface to have a hard durable finish. As far as your suggestion that I get a 90 degree air drill: Well this may sound funny, but I already owned one, but had no idea why I had it. My father used to build airplanes for Northrop -- F5's mailny, he also used to work for Bell Helicopter in Vietnam patching up bullet holes in the skins. When he past on a few years ago, I inherited all of his tools -- to include all of his aircraft-specific tools. Among them were a variety of clamps, cleco wrenches, strangely-shaped bucking bars, adjustable countersinks, and yes, a 90-degree air drill with several bits. Although I have to admit, when I first saw it, I wasn't sure if I would ever find a use for it, so it's been sitting in the big drawer with my other pneumatics. Based upon your information however, I now see why he owned one. If it wasn't for your advice, it would have remained in that drawer forever. Thanks again! Bill

    Subject: Fuel line routing
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Rick <rick.pitcher@verizon.net> I'm trying to decide where to put the fuel selector valve in my 601HD and would like to see some pics of others' installations. I plan on using an extended handle so I can mount the valve towards the floor of the cockpit so the lines run continuosly downhill avoid in order to avoid any low spots for water to accumulate. The best spot that I can see is low on the firewall, but the nose wheel steering push-pull rods travel up and down in this area. Any thoughts or photos from someone who has already sorted this out? thanks, Rick P.

    Subject: ZAC Pneumatic Rivet Puller
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Steve Dixon" <dix39@charter.net> I recently bought one of the rivet pullers ZAC sells, and it continually leaks a small amount of air through the system. It produces an audible hiss as long as it is connected to an air line. In spite of this it seems to work just fine. I need to determine if the hiss is normal in which case I can learn to ignore it, or if I should contact ZAC and make arrangements to return it before too much time goes by. I previously had one of the Harbor Freight pullers which didn't leak at all. Has anyone else had this experience with a ZAC puller? Thanks, Steve Dixon DO NOT ARCHIVE

    Subject: CH601 HD - tolerances
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Carlos Sa <carlosfsa@yahoo.com> Hello, all I have cut the upper and lower spar cap doublers (6V2-7HD and 6V2-8HD) out of an 0.125" plate (3 mm). Due to systematic error, all these parts ended up being only 37.5 mm wide, instead of the specified 38 mm. I have sent an email to ZAC asking if this is acceptable, but, while waiting, I'd like to know what this group thinks...? (I know it's not a jet fighter, but it's part of the spar, so I'd rather ask than worry.) Carlos

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Michel Therrien <mtherr@yahoo.com> When it involves structural calculation, it is probably better to call Chris Heintz. He is a nice guy and answers the phone. Sometimes, ZAC will refer you to Chris. My opinion is that that .5mm won't affect a thing. But if you want to be certain, check with the designer.

    From: "Don Honabach" <don@pcperfect.com>
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Don Honabach" <don@pcperfect.com> I hope I'm not missing the obvious, but my pneumatic rivet puller (not sure where I got it from though) doesn't hiss and never has nor have any of the other 601 builder's that I've visited in my area. It would seem that a hiss sound would mean air leakage and there shouldn't be any air leakage when the tool is at rest and just connected to the hose. Have the basics been checked? Is the connection to the air hose tight? If you don't use some type of sealant (tape, etc.) you will get air leakage on most metal screw type connections. Have you tried to connect any other air tools up and do they make any hiss type noises?

    Subject: Re: ZAC Pneumatic Rivet Puller
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Steve Danielson" <steved@nc.rr.com> Mine hissed right up until it died about 6 months ago (lasted several years and a couple owners) I bought the harbor freight one (the cheaper one, not the one that says aircraft), and it has been much better, and no hiss. The heads from the ZAC one fit the harbor freight one and I have been very happy with it. Steve
