    Seal-Send-Time: Sun, 6 Jul 2003 06:56:44 -0500 --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Don Walker" <dwalk3dw@msn.com> Well, guys, Here is a question I should have asked a while back. There are times when my HDS will pop loudly and abruptly. Usually it happens when I unwittingly kick the ball out of the center or am rocked around a little bit. Sometimes it occurs when I accelerate through about 108 mph. Sometimes when I land, this seems to "readjust", so to say, as the tailwheel hits the ground. I have found a number of places on the skins, mostly fuselage sides, which I imagine could pop like this with changing pressures. But there are other places, too. I have checked the obvious. The motor mounts are all tight. No loose rivets. I think it is just an oilcanning, but it is pretty crisp sounding. Any thoughts. don Walker HDS 292 hrs. ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil & Michele Miller To: zenith-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2003 1:07 AM Subject: RE: Zenith-List: Aileron flutter --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Phil & Michele Miller" <millerpg@ps.gen.nz> Jeff, For God's sake listen to what you are being told here. If you want more information, try this link http://members.eaa.org/home/homebuilders/authors/bingelis/ Scroll down a wee way and read the two articles, "Control Surface Balancing in Homebuilts" and "Control Surface Flutter Problems".

By flutter I mean that the ailerons wiggle up and down slightly but quickly.

    Subject: Zodiac Flaperons
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Graham Byass" <gbyass@cygnus.uwa.edu.au> Phil I am from 'Down Under' but I do not know the guy you are chasing. However I have installed flaperons on my 601HDS - unfortunately it is still a few months from flying but the system seems pretty bulletproof. The main changes I have adopted are the use of pushrods for the ailerons and flaperons with 'mixer' bellcranks in place of the normal bellcranks on the outboard ends of the centre wing. I guess flight testing will be the proof but I will have to wait a while. Graham Byass Western Australia -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Phil Raker Subject: Zenith-List: Zodiac Flaperons --> Zenith-List message posted by: Phil Raker <phadr1@yahoo.com> Hello, List: Do any of you from "Down-Under" know a builder named Charles Furlonger? I haven't seen any postings from him on this list. According to a recent issue of Zenair News he has a design for drooping the ailerons on a 601 to achieve flap effect which has been approved by Cris H. I'd like to contact him to compare his system with the one I'm building. I've sent messages twice to the e-mail address that Nick gave me, but have received no response. Do any of you know Charles, or are any of you familiar with his plane/design? You or he may contact me off-list at: phadr1@yahoo.com Phil Raker - N556P: HDS/Stratus; about 3/4 complete (trying to get back to building after flood, job change, and interstate move) __________________________________

You and other who corrected me are absolutely right, it states that the "ignition must cut in between 150 and 220 crank RPM".

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: John Livsey <jlivsey@bigpond.com> Bill, I used parts no's 932-3308 EN3C5F and 932-3310 EN3C5M from Allied Connectors. They are fairly small (A bit expensive) and are weather proof and are good for the elevator trim but not nearly heavy enough for the ruder light. Their catalog page is at http://www.alliedelec.com/catalog/pf.asp?FN=366.pdf regards john livsey

    Subject: Re: Flutters and pops.
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "George Swinford" <grs-pms@comcast.net> Don: Normal deflection of the structure under changing loads also can cause a skin panel to "oilcan". The aft fuselage skin panels are obvious candidates. Since you describe it as happening when the ball is displaced, torsional deflection of the fuselage due to rudder loads might be the explanation.

    Subject: Sold My 601 HDS
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Charles Sonberg" <2408s@cox-internet.com> I sold my 601 HDS with Stratus. I wanted to post what I think are good and bad points with this aircraft. Well, mine at least. Good points 1-Easy to build 2-Great factory support 3-Great kits (Received a few wrongs parts, factory immediately corrected) 4-Engine starts easily and was very strong 5-Very fun to fly 6-Great stall characteristics Bad Points 1-Plans could be better 2-Slow 110 mph Problems Had to reinforce upper nose gear shelf as it bent during taxi tests Oil temps low, she never used oil. The person who bought her used 2 quarts in 10 hours. Any ideas as to why? Chuck

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "RJK" <rjk1964@bellsouth.net> Hello all. I am brand new to the building process and I am currently working on the 601 XL rudder start kit. I am curious about the gap that is present at the trailing edge of the rudder just past the ribs? I don't see anything in the "Starter Kit" instruction guide that mentions this gab or how to close it up. Am I missing something or is this detail further discussed in the complete plans? Any help is appreciated. Rick Zodiac 601 XL Cumming, GA

You should be able to have a friend shine a flashlight in one end and you will be able to see it at the other end. You will find the same type of gap on the elevator, and ailerons.

The fix was actually quite simple. We adjusted our ailerons so that they were both 1 degree below the top of the wing... which as it turns out makes the exactly level with the bottom of the wing. Strange that the ailerons are not shaped exactly the same as the wing, but they are not.

I did a cut and paste of the PDF file, then attempted to fix the formatting. I'm not sure if I fixed everything, but it will get you started. I uploaded it to the Matronics photoshare. Hopefully it will be available in a day or 2.

    Subject: Rotax 912ULS Tach Trouble
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Frank Jones" <fjones@sympatico.ca> I've been having a heck of a time trying to get a Micro-1000 Digital Tach (same as Tiny-Tach I think) to work properly on my Rotax engine. I've configured the wire wrap to go around both spark plug wires to one cylinder so I can do the differential check. It seems to work out ok at low RPMs but it provides a very unstable readout at higher RPMs, to the point that it really isn't usable. Has anyone else experimented with these? I'm thinking of two alternatives: 1) hooking up the input directly from the tach pickup provided on the engine - probably need a 10K resistor or something like that, but I'm not sure if the number of pulses will be the same so who knows if this will work 2) buying a new analog tach like 2-1/4 UMA. Has anyone had any experience with any of this? ______________________ Frank Jones C-GYXQ 601XL - oh so close to flying ______________________

    Subject: Gas strut
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Richard McLachlan <richard@foxfield.demon.co.uk> We have a double gas strut that holds the canopy open on our CH601HDS. The lower gas seal has failed, so we need a new one. Does anybody know if it is a Zenair part or if not who make it? -- Richard McLachlan CH601HDS/R22 G3OQT Landing Site info at http://www.foxfield.demon.co.uk
