Northrop Rice Aviation Institute of Technology offers a career path specifically for aviation maintenance technicians. The Bachelor of Science in Aviation Maintenance Engineering Technology is offered at the campus in Los Angeles, California. Our new Bachelor of Science in Technical Management can be pursued on-line. Visit http://www.nrait.edu for more information. JIT MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS Manufacturing is a "value adding" activity, where the conversion of materials into products adds value to the original material. The objective of a manufacturer is to add value and do so in the most efficient manner, using the least amount of time, material, money, space and manpower. To minimize waste and maximize efficiency, the processes and operations need to be properly selected and arranged to permit smooth and controlled flow of material through the factory and also provide an optimal degree of product flexibility. Take this course to and learn some tips on creating a well-designed and efficient manufacturing system. http://www.aerolearn.com/courses/MF114 ############################################################### The E-Learner is sent only to Aerolearn.com registered users.

OK, I'm not talking about making the 701 an aerobatics aircraft, but the idea to remove or "deactivate" the slats is not new. There is a kit manufacturer that sells a kit very similar to the 701, but with automatic shifting slats. This is to increase flying performance while keeping stol performance. Take note that C. Heintz did'nt like that at all when this came to market. He wrote about the issues with such a design in a past edition of the Zenair News.

Thanks, Randall True in Creston, Ca. >> I chased coating problems for a living for 33 yrs and offer the following for what it's worth to you. If you were working on your car and got your hands all greasy would you rub them with MEK (or any thinner,even if it was safe) and then wipe you hands on a dry towel? Probably not. What you would do is to get the oil and grime suspended by using a surfactant (soap ) and then rinse the goop away with water. ALL that you do with solvents and a rag is chase the oils around in smaller and smaller concentrations . It doesn't take much to affect the adhesion of a coating. Use a good metal cleaner (WO-1, Metal Prep) to get things loose and WASH IT OFF . Two applications is better than one.

The spray in the cans, zinc chromate or zinc phosphate, has several drawbacks: One causes cancer, neither is good to breathe, they clog easy, and are expensive. You can go to a boat shop and find a quart size can of zinc chromate that you can brush on. It goes a lot farther that the spray cans, is cheaper in the long run, and you don't have to mess with a respirator to keep from breathing it in. 2) John already gave you a good answer. The only thing I might add is to not touch the parts with your bare hands after cleaning them. 3) Don't know 4) Rumor mill has it the Zenith is working on an aircraft the looks similar to a C-152. Hopefully with much better performance. Nothing has been released officially. Somewhere on the Zenith site is a place where you can sign up for their email updates. http://www.zenithair.com/maillist.html I'm sure they will send out a message when it's official.

Thwing" Subject: Zenith-List: auto-engine cooling system that works --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Randy L. Thwing" Dear Listers: After following the recent discussion regarding water cooling system design/placement/problems, I took my camera to the airport yesterday and took a few pictures of the BeltedAir, Chevrolet 4.3L, V6 powered RV-6A. I know it's neither a Zenith aircraft nor a subaru engine. It is a very clean liquid-cooled installation that works. The baffling completely isolates the exhaust system from the ram air. All air that enters the cowl inlets that is not used by the carburetor is directed through the radiator. Maybe the concepts shown here can be used in the ZA installations. Thought you water-cooled builders would like to see this. More information is available at www.beltedair.com Links to the pictures are: www.mindspring.com/~newstandardmfg/beltedairtop.jpg www.mindspring.com/~newstandardmfg/beltedairfront.jpg Hope this help, Randy L.

As a rule I find this list helpful and enlightening. There are builders in every stage of construction with every level of aircraft knowledge and building skills. If we build each other up instead of cutting others to the quick, we just might help save a life or at least make someone's building and flying experiences more enjoyable. We never stand very tall when we step on someone else.

I'll bet that there was some performance analysis done when the plane was on the drawing board that may have considered other options and some original fight testing done that prompted Chris to say no spins, maybe because of the slats. I like the folding wing option and the building method. I also like spins but I wasn't considering flying outside the planes limits, that's why I asked. Does this mean that a taildragger with a radial engine are out of the question? :) Thanks for the CH152 suggestion.

It has a good appearance and seems to adhere very well. I don't know how dangerous it may be if inhaled, but less than zinc chromate, I'm sure. I have no experience with zinc oxide so I can't make a comparison there. MEK has worked well for me, especially when used with a green Scotch-brite pad. I never heard of spraying oil into the primed areas, but i know that LPS 3 has been used. I doubt that it's necessary.

It's not supposed to be so toxic and it brushes or rolls on easily. I have completed the tail, and wing control surfaces so far using just under a quart. I've gotten good adhesion cleaning with just laquer thinner, but I'm not one to debate the experts. I've read about the oil type protectants, supposedly they work pretty good. I don't know what type of frequency you need to re-apply them though. I definitely lean towards priming the interior while its being assembled, it's like the ultimate z-bart treatment. Good luck on the rudder!

But my straps in the kit appear to be 0.063. I still beefed them up a little to prevent the bolt from pulling through and because I doubt I'll see 175 again.

They don't show any sign of corrosion damage. That proof sold me on the use of Zinc Chromate. What I did not like was the toxicity of the sprayed version. It contains some nasty chemicals that will be readily inhaled. I just bought the can of zinc chromate liquid and cut it with lacquer thinner to apply it with a paint brush. I hope its not too toxic this way. ______________________ Frank Jones C-GYXQ 601 XL ______________________ -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of randall true Subject: Zenith-List: Questions from a new member --> Zenith-List message posted by: randall true I'm building a 601 intro rudder kit to see what the Heintz system is like. 1) Is spray zinc oxide a pretty good way to go, or is there a better and or easier way to do it? 2) Is there a better pre-cleaner than mek? 3) Does anyone know if the system that sprays in oil after the parts are done is effective? 4) What is this CH152 you are talking about and where can I learn about it?

I found that if a short steel plug with a taper is placed in each end, it can be hammered to bring both ends to a smooth radius flare. I'm, for now, using 1"-.049 and bringing it to 1-1/8" flare which provides a serious grip over the conventional rolled hump. Looking for a good heater core for this thing.

Your emotionally over reactive way of responding to an honest, if na=EFve inquiry, is akin to the hysteria most often exhibited by women.

You go ahead and be eloquent if you want ( I don't have such a nice way with words as you do ) but I hate seeing folks consider doing stupid shit and than people on this list trying to "analyze" what went wrong and blaming Chris Heintz for it--i.e. a while back you were all talking about his weak tie down point, and come to find out it was rotten rope.

I understand there are some interesting tidbits that might be useful in the construction of my 701. I do not want to waste another tree and order a set of copies for myself, so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in 'loaning' me their copies for a week after which I would return them. I would first send that person a cash deposit to ensure they would in fact get them back from me in a timely manner. Also, I would be happy to pay a fee for this service! (deduct from my deposit for shipping/handling etc) OK, I'm a cheapskate! But since these are not online (and why is this? ZAC has a great website and email notification system), and if anyone would like to recoupe some of their original cost of these newsletters and help a builder out... then email me direct.
