Dave,
I was thinking the same thing. I'll be there from Sunday for 7-days. Hope to
see the gang at the Zenith Dinner. I'll be camping at Camp Scholler with a
large group (about 50) from EAA Chapter 46. Our site is at Lindburgh & 38th,
under the big party tent, stop by for a visit.

Hello Gang,
I read all the messages on this topic, but I'm still
unclear about bracket requirements for the
extinguisher. I was planning on using a small (1 lb)
2B-C kitchen extinguisher available at Canadian Tire.
This one has a plastic bracket.
My inspector insists that the extinguisher be held in
place by a steel bracket. I don't know how many G's
he wants the bracket to hold, but I tried pushing
pretty hard on that plastic one and it did not fail
(around 20-30 lbs).
Any opinions? If anyone made a steel bracket, please
let me know how you did that.

backyard :-)

Hello,
I dont know what a 2B-C unit is, but I remember reading about
a guy who deployed one of those "yellow chalky" types in his
cockpit in flight, and the resulting yellow cloud obscured his
vision for some time.
Be careful about what type you choose... (2B-C ??).

If that is a pressurized powder type, it will do more damage than the fire.
The powder is corrosive. I have a small Halon type that comes with a steel
mount.

Not a good choice. Halogen recommended for aircraft use. check it out with
EAA or some other experts. Dry powder extinguishers can raise havoc with
equipment and not good to breath in a confined space

Halon??? I hope you're not planning on using it to put out a cockpit fire
in-flight! You're right, in that Halon extinguishers are not corrosive to
your aircraft, but because they work by displacing the oxygen in the air,
they are not recommended for use in closed confines occupied by
oxygen-breathing mammals. This is especially true of the older Halon types
(such as 1211) which in addition to oxygen displacement, they produce toxic
gasses. While limited exposure (say up to 15% concentration) is survivable,
it will still bring on hypoxic symptoms. Higher concentrations - such as
those you would likely produce if you use it in a small closed cockpit could
very well bring on asphyxiation. So while you might be successful in
putting out the fire, you really won't like the after-affects.

Dave,
I intend to be at Oshkosh Thursday the 31st and Friday the 1st
to just take pics and check out new engines and stuff. Home
base for me will be near Galley's Chapter 75 Repair Tent both days.

I kind of agree with this. Halon extinguishers are
the norm for aircrafts (except that they are not much
available in Canada now). Some new stuff like FE-36
replace Halon, but they weight twice as much for the
same effectiveness.
I was told that the problem with a Halon extinguisher
in a CH601 is that there is too much ventilation in
this aircraft. Halon absorbs oxygen, which supports
fire (not me speaking as the expert, but that's what's
been told to me by some who pretend to be). So, if
you're in a sealed cabin, then you are also out of O2.
But if there is too much ventilation, the
extinguisher is ineffective. Does this make sense? I
know that when they installed the fire suppression
system (a Halon system) in the computer room of my
previous employer, they sealed the computer room and
pressure tested it.
An extinguisher representative told me that the major
problem with a powder extinguisher will be that it's
gonna produce a cloud that will imper visibility. He
also said that if the canopy is humid, the powder will
stick to it.
So, it seems it may be more convenient to land and
then take care of the fire.... OUCH!

I've been told (by the same "expert" I mentioned in my
previous posting) that the "A" component of an "ABC"
extinguisher is highly corrosive. This would not be
the case with the 2B-C extinguisher I mentioned in my
original posting. Does this make sense?
Still, the powder will create a huge mess.

My father and I will have our CH-701 on amphib floats
at the seaplane base from Monday - Thursday next week.
We're planning to be at the base most mornings and
evenings.
I'll have my cell-phone # posted on the International
Pavilion message board (near the IAC building on the
flightline) under Portugal if anyone wants to arrange
to see the airplane. It is an early CH701 with the
standard Zenair floats, pneumatic gear, and a Rotax

A B and C refer to the type (class) of fire that can
be handled by the extinguisher.
A refers to paper, wood or such fires
B refers to fires supported by combustibles
C refers to electrical fires
The number before a letter represents a unit of size
(effectiveness of the extinguisher for a class of
fire).
The dry powder works by insulating the combustible
under fire from the oxygen that supports the fire (to
have a fire, three things are needed, oxygen, a
combustible and heat).

Bad luck that the Zenith dinner is the same night as the EAA homebuilder
dinner. I was hoping to attend both.
I'm camping in Scholler all week with a couple of other EAA245 members.
Does Zenith have a shuttle or something to Robbins for people like us
who don't have wheels?

Anyone going to Oshkosh this year? I haven't seen any chatter on the list.
I'm planning on being there Tuesday the 29th. Weather permitting I'll
fly my '65 172, it'll get me into vintage parking. The builders I was
with at the workshop had talked about going to the Zenith booth and putting
our names on a list so we would know who was there. I will miss the
builders dinner unfortunately. : - {

John,
When you sign up for the dinner at Zenith's booth note that you need a
ride on the sheet and sometimes you can luck into one. I need a ride as
well.

Halon??? I hope you're not planning on using it to put out a cockpit fire
in-flight!
Halon is essentially the same chemical as freon. CO2 works by
displacing oxygen, halon is an oxidation inhibitor, which is not the same.
It interferes with the oxidation process and is far more effective than CO2
in an enclosed or ventilated area. You do not need to displace all the O2
in your cockpit to put out a fire with halon, it is very effective.
Halon 1301 has low toxicity (1211 does indeed break down into toxic
components) and is recommeded for small aircraft, but it will displace O2,
so once it is used it needs to be ventilated. It is also an A, B, C,
type of extinguisher. NFPA 408 is the standard for aircraft hand portable
fire extingushers and can be viewed online. I'm not a fireman but I do
work on fire suppression systems and am trained in the use of chemical, CO2
and portable halon fire extinguishers. I will have a halon fire
extinguisher in my cockpit.
I do not suggest anyone take my advice without doing the research
yourself. The proper fire suppression equipment too important not to make
an informed decision (especially at 12,000').

Marcia and I will be attending Oshkosh and staying in the dorms. We will
have a rental car. When I register for the builder's dinner I'll check for
anyone who needs a ride. Please leave me a way to contact you. A cell
phone number would be great. I'll be able to take 2 or 3. And I multiple
trips may be OK too.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: Carlos Sa <carlosfsa@yahoo.com>
Hello, listers
I just received this newsletter from ZAC, and thought it would be of interested,
in particular:
1) Air Venture info
2) Dual sticks for the XL!
############################
From: info@zenithair.com
Subject: Zodiac Kit Aircraft Update
ZODIAC Enthusiasts:
We're off to the annual EAA Airventure fly-in (Oshkosh, WI - July 29 - August 4).
Once
again, we'll be located in the North Aircraft Display (booths 424, 425, 430 & 431)
area at
Airventure and look forward to the opportunity of meeting with you and showing
you the
aircraft. Designer Chris Heintz has "forum" lectures scheduled daily during AirVenture
(see below for schedule).
Our popular annual Builders' Dinner has been scheduled for Thursday, July 31.
Sign up
for the dinner at the Zenith Aircraft booth.
For complete details:
http://www.zenithair.com/news/oshkosh2003.html
We're introducing two new ZODIAC XL features at AirVenture: Dual Control Sticks
Option
and the Tail-Wheel (taildragger) Gear Configuration. The Dual Control Sticks Option
is
available to builders wanting to equip their ZODIAC kitplane with dual sticks instead
of
the single center stick. The trademark Heintz Y-stick has been popular for more
than 20
years now in many Heintz designs, but some pilots have indicated a preference for
more
conventional dual control sticks. Complete Details:
http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/xl/update.html
Many industry insiders tell us to expect the FAA to announce some concrete news
about the
progress of its Sport Pilot license proposal. For up-to-date news about the new
license
and aircraft category:
http://www.sportpilot.org
Also coming up this summer:
12th Annual Zenith Aircraft Co. OPEN HANGAR DAY:
Saturday, August 23 at the Zenith Aircraft factory in Mexico, Missouri.
Details: http://www.zenithair.com/news/oh2003.html
Our factory workshops continue to be very popular with new kit builders, and typically
fill up a month in advance. We've added a second workshop for the month of August.
The
workshop is held right at our factory in Mexico, Missouri, and allows participants
to gain
hands-on building experience, tour the factory, and fly in the ZODIAC! At the
workshop,
you start actual construction of your ZODIAC by building the vertical tail section
(rudder). If you can't attend a factory workshop, we can send the complete Rudder
Started Kit
for just $300.00. Workshop space is limited so register early to reserve your space!
Next available workshop dates: August 14 & 15 and September 25 & 26, 2003

--> Zenith-List message posted by: ZodiacBuilder@aol.com
Well, It's official. The flight surgeon has formally told me I'm not to fly.
Due to my recent surgeries. Also due to the fact that I'm on Cummadin.
(Hyper-coagular disorder)
They don't think that I will quallify for a waiver.
The appeal proccesscould take 6 months to a year. So I've decided to sell my
plane. Perhaps build an XL and hope that the sport pilot classification is
made into a rule.
I will be posting the airplanes specs and my asking price in a couple of
days. I hope to find her a good home.

I ended up having lunch with Chris & Mattieu Heintz today. They were both
down at the AMD factory, and I was getting some maintenance done on my fleet
of Alarus CH2000's.
I think LSA is going to be huge for Zenith & AMD. I'm hoping to get some
Zodiac XL's for my flight school once LSA is passed.

John, Sorry to hear about the medical. But I have a question for you.
Instead of building a whole new plane like the XL ( although there are
many reasons for doing so) why not just build a set of HD wings for your
plane or trade someone your HDS wings for HD one's From my understanding
the 601HD is a shoe in for the sport plane category.

Roger from ZAC told me at Arlington that the tail dragger option will be
able to be retrofitted to existing XL.
Ordered the dual stick on-line today!

What the heck is that newsletter? Never heard that ZAC offers one via
email, and I've beena builders for almost 4 years. And -- if they're set
up that way, why wouldn't they use that media to update builders on
changes/updates to plans, etc? Maybe someone can bring that up at the
builders dinner at Osh....
