The 'oxygen system' in a commercial airliner is NEVER used in conjunction
with cabin smoke/fire. It is for depressurization problems ONLY. In fact,
at lower altitudes, cabin air is recirculated through the system. Also, as
you can imagine, in case of cabin fires, the last thing you want is to have
more oxygen added to the mix.
The Halon extinguishers are intended to be used in relatively enclosed
areas, with ventilation added as much as possible as soon as the fire has
been dealt with.

Here are the links for the regs for installation in
Canada. FAA regs are similar. Amature (Experimental)
aircraft must be equipped with a fire extinguisher
that complies with them.
http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/regserv/carac/CARS/html_e/doc/nav-2200.htm
(click on the link for chapter 551.400)
and:
FAA AC 20-42C,
http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/1ab39b4ed563b08985256a35006d56af/cf2f4f1406354490862569ad00777471/$FILE/AC20-42C.pdf
Cerified light aircraft in Canada are typically
delivered with 2B-C extinguishers due to the cost vs
Halon. (ie 2B-C and Halon both comply, but Halon can
cost 3x as much)

Halon is much more destructive to the environment than typical refrigerants.
If I remember back to my AC&R days, R-111 is the basis for measurement at
an ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) of 1. R-12 (A chlorofluorocarbon) has an ODP
of something like 1.7. That is why it has been almost completely phased out
by R-134A. Halon has an ODP of 10! Nasty stuff to the Ozone layer. I thought
it was already supposed to be phased out - So if you want it, better get it
now.
You definitely have to shop around for a good chemical extinguisher. One
of the websites I referenced in an earlier post listed PKP (purple K powder or
Potassium Bicarbonate) as non corrosive. Not true. We used them aboard ship,
but never for electrical panels. They are terribly corrosive for wires and
connectors.

I'm hoping that I could get some help from the Stratus guy's here and Ron
from Ram Performance. I wanted to check my valve guides so I pulled a
rocker off and took some pictures and posted them on airsoob. Use
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/airsoob/files/ and go to Gary K's Pelican or
go right to the pictures at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/airsoob/files/Gary%20K%27s%20EA-81%20Pelican/v
alve%20guide/ (note wrapped address).
I'm assuming that these are the stock pressed-in guides vs. the newer
grooved and clipped style. I'd like to take this discussion off-line
instead of bothering the list here so I'll collect a few addresses and
resend this to a "Stratus group". If you'd like to help out, please respond
to me and I'll add to the list.
Thanks,

Halon is destructive to ozone, How many fire extinguishers have you popped
in the last 10 years! Halon kills fire at the ionization level, you don't
have to see it (the fire) just point where it may be and it will knock it
dead! It's my extinguisher of choice and in my plane.
PPK goes back to the WWII days, It was the only agent capable (then) of
extinguishing a magnesium fire, and there was plenty of that in military
planes.

Hey Scott, the HT frames don't make the side skins vertical. It's been a
while since I worked on that area but I believe the top longerons come out
to be wider than the bottom. You can double check this with the width of the
attachments on the horizontal stabilizer... if you built it already. If you
interested, I have a site that is a duplicate of my building log. Click the
fuselage button at the top, then click the "NEXT" button once & you will see
a pic of how the tail looks completed.

Where are other 801 builders putting the gascolator? According to the plans,
it's either on the fierwall wich is higher than the lowest point of the
fuselage or under the rear of the front seats, which IS the lowest point of
the fuselage. But the plans also have the gascolator in this location
sticking way out underneath the belly. I have a center console for the fuel
selector & primer line & I would like to put the gascolator inside, center
of fuselage, just in front of the control stick (with clearance of course).
Has anyone put it on the firewall without water accumulating somewhere else
before it?

Hello, all
I'll be building the wing tanks (601 HD) in the coming weeks, and I have a question:
How have you built the sides? Did you make a forming block smaller than the nose
ribs forming
block by 3 mm (1/8") all around (to allow for the cork thickness)? Or...?
Any other hints and tips would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

flying to Oshkosh Tuesday. We'll be camping in Homebuilt Camping.
Roy's going to leave his cell phone number on his prop if anyone wants

we can find a ride!

| Subject: | Oil-canning in wings |
Seal-Send-Time: Sun, 27 Jul 2003 19:14:55 -0500
--> Zenith-List message posted by: <PAULROD36@msn.com>
After pulling one wing out into the driveway on the work table, the sun's heat
clearly indicated that I'm going to have some oil-canning in the top skin. (maybe
there's a moral there--about building the wing during the winter) I'm not
real keen on flying inside of a kettle drum.
Short of putting on a new skin and doing it under a heat lamp, does anybody have
any suggestions on avoiding oil-canning in the wing skins? The first two things
that came to mind was to build wing lockers in the offending bays, or inserting
a vertical piece of styrofoam in there, and somehow gluing it in place.
How have other builders dealt with the problem?

Carlos,
I think the rule applies to the HD same as the HDS, so here's my two cents.
I made wood formers for each end cap, as you said smaller than the ribs
nearest
them by a little over the 1/8" and made a strap with tensioning that would
hold the
shape of the aluminum skin just like a rib inboard of it whilst it was being
fitted and clecoed in place.
Both ends were done this way and the back sheet was the last to be attached
and welded.
Pictures of the wooden forms are on the site and the banding straps are seen
there also, but
one might not be aware of what's going on if you didn't know to look at the
back blocks that
the bolt tensioners are run thru.
You can get a rather precise fit within the cork if you're willing to go
after it. The tanks get fitted
to the front rib more than a few times to get it just right.
Good luck,.
Regards
Larry C. McFarland - 601hds

Hi Rich,
If you are following the plans, there is also those aluminum weldments
where the hoses (or lines) from the wing tanks mix together that also has a
drain on the bottom. This is the lowest point on the fuel flow, and as
long as the drains are put in, you can put the gascolator anywhere since
it's only function then is as a strainer. If you aren't using the
weldments, then you need to locate some kind of drain, like the gascolator,
at the lowest point.

Made the forming blocs 3/16" less all around except
for the rear side which is 20 or 25mm less (to allow
for support against Z stiffeners.
I assembled the tanks with 3/32 clecoes (not to many
of them) and brought that to the weldor. Claude
Guilbault is highly reputed in our area for this type
of work. In any way, you should ask the weldor how he
wants the tanks. Some will want the flange of the end
ribs facing outward (like the tanks from ZAC) some
inward. They will also give you their preference for
material (mine are made with 5052-H34, 0.040"). One
thing I did that I would'nt do again is to install a
baffle in the middle of the tank.

Hi Thilo...
You might check with Chip Erwin (who runs Czech Aircraft Works--the European Zenith
affiliate). I don't know if he follows this list, although I imagine he
might. He used a new 2-blade Woodcomp in-flight adjustable prop to win the Schneider
Cup seaplane race in Italy last month on a Zodiac XL with a Rotax 912S
http://www.airplane.cz/web_files/pr/schneider03.htm
Chip follows the Matronics Seaplane-list, but I don't know if he follows this list.
Since his email is available there, I doubt he'd mind if I copy it here:

Hi folks,
thinking about a new propeller for the 601 HDS (with Rotax 912). What type of in-flight
adjustable propellers are used? What's the experience with those types?
Thanks

Does anyone have opinions on the GSC inflight-adjustable prop? I know it can
be used with either GSC blades or Warp Drive blades. These props should help
the performance numbers of the 601 a little
