| Subject: | Scratch built wing tanks |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Graham Kirby" <gkirby@yahoo.com>
Hi Carlos,
I am also in the process of building wing tanks for an HD although mine are
going to go in the wing locker and not at the leading edge. I made a form
out of 3/4" particle board that was actually 3/8" undersize. I have allowed
1/8" for the cork, 1/8" for the metal thickness and a fudge factor (better
that the tanks are a little too small than too large). The other 1/8" is
for a 3/4" x 1/8" aluminum strip which I have screwed to the edge of the
form. This has been filed to a nice smooth radius. So far I have made two
of the end caps and they have come out really well. There is something very
satisfying about hammering a piece of aluminum sheet into shape around one
of these forms! - a little like being a blacksmith..
One thing I didn't anticipate was the need to put crimps in the flange that
is formed around the curved surface of the tank end.
Another thing that surprised me was the fuel level sensor. I bought the
potentiometer type from Aircraft-Spruce and was a little shocked that the
device is completely open. I was under the impression that electrical
devices and fuel/fuel vapor are best kept well apart. However, I have since
been told that this is very normal and not something to worry about...
Regards,
Graham Kirby

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

I need to replace the Main Gear Bungees on my 601 and I was wondering if
anyone could give me some direction on how to do this? I have already
replaced the Nose Gear Bungee which was very straight forward but the Main

about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. TTYL

Rich,
Zenith provides some water collection "towers" made from aluminum box
tubing, that are designed to provide a drain sump at the low point in the
fuel system, under the seats.

There is a product available that kills the reverberation, a sound dampening coating
SUPER SOUNDPROOFING LIQUID available from Aircraft Spruce $12 a qt. Apply
two coats, a diagonal stripe, or spray a circle through a small hole and it

Subject: RE: Zenith-List: Stratus valve guides
Only the inlet guides are now made from Phospher bronze and have a circlip.
Are you sure you are not looking at an exhaust guide? These are still
standard are not known to fail.
In any case it doesn't matter, the circlipped guides fail just as well.
According to Ron at Ram perforamance the Stratus guides are put in at the
standard height and with the high lift cam the spring cap makes contact with
the top of the guide which eventually hammers them into the head. I have now
way to confirm this but Ron does know his stuff.
Yes one of my circlipped guides just had the circlip come right off and the
engine tried to kill me again!
I sent my heads back to Stratus and when they came back I had Ron knock the
guides out only to find that one of the phospher bronze guides had een
knurled on the outside....which is a total auto shop botch and has no place
on an aircraft.
There is almost no way to check your guides...you will know when it happens.
I would simply take your heads off and send them to Ron, $500 now is a very
cheap price to pay to avoid the sickening cough the engine makes over the
mountains 200 miles from home.
Personally I wish I'd never heard of Stratus!

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.

That IS the gascolator. maybe with the 180 HP engine you need an A/C
gascolator, I think this type of gascolator is a great and simple
idea, works perfectly.

If it was my case, I will make a bushing to fit in place. no problem,
the axle will still work the same.

Hey Charles,
I have another idea...Simpl by a third main gear axle from ZAC...they might
even give you a credit for the nose axle that you have.
To be honest I was amazed why they went for the nose axle arrangement they
did, after all it's a lot more labour with welding etc and when you try to
undo the bolts hundreds of mile away from home with the one borrowed wrench
you will find the axle simply spins and you can't get the bolts out!
So why not simply use a the same axle on the nose as on the mains...simple
and elegent and I bet its less weight too!
The bearings are (or were on my kit the same size). For me I drilled out the
nose axle threads and passed a 5/16hts bolt all the way through...Much
better but a main axle would be even better than this.

Get some 5/8" steel tubing, thread the ends and use as the axle. Better
than the original supplied.

Good idea but be careful what you use. You really want seamless tubing with
a decent wall thickness. I suspect the originals are 4130.
There is hardly any load on the nose wheel but don't go using seamed tubing
like gas pipe...Not that I've ever seen 5/8ths gas pipe of course...:)

Get some 5/8" steel tubing, thread the ends and use as the axle. Better than
the original supplied.

I used "Goop" which I found packaged in a tube at the home supply/hardware

--> Zenith-List message posted by: Gary Gower <ggower_99@yahoo.com>
Got a thought about the comment about the tube as an axle (a good wall
sized tube, of course).
It's a good idea, when installed this way, the tube holes in the sides
could be used to attach the red "puller" to the axle and move the plane
inside the hangar, or better, tow the plane to the platform with the 4
X 4 "bike" (cuatrimoto is in spanish, but can't find it in the
dictionary)...
More important for the 701, the tail cone is to high to lean over it to
lighten the front wheel to turn it.
Saludos

Hap,
I used a spray 3-M adhesive that is commonly used to secure
12" sanding disks to a large sander. It's pretty good stuff, and
controllable
spray too but it still pays to do it over paper when you use it.

| Subject: | Radiator cooling boost? |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Larry McFarland" <larrymc@qconline.com>
HI list,
Recently someone on the list suggested there was some air assist
coming from the rock guard on his radiator and I decided to try out
louvers as rock guard and air boost. Odd, that my feable attempts to
do a tuft test proved that more air can be had on the downside of that
radiator. The kleenex strips lifted well above the louvers with the fan set
on high. Will be interesting to see what happens at 100mph.

Interesting, It looks like there is a degree of lift as the air goes up and
over the top of the rad. I bet If you made a pressure recovery duct for the
inlet that this would work pretty well.
Its just a shame it has to dangle down so much under the fuse. Have you
closed the gap next to the prop spinner as much as you can? If you think
about it you only need a very small opening for carb air and to carry away
the exhaust heat.

I'm looking at the cluttered hose end and sorting what might smooth it out
Havn't gotten to the cowl yet, but it will see some rework.
Kinda like the radiator back there though. It does hang out a bit,
but in the middle of the belly, I think it actually looks better.
Lord knows what kind of performance it'll yield.
