Hi Wayne
I chose the 0235 for a few reasons,
mainly any one i spoke to with regards to the 912s was hesitant to come out and
say that they are/were a Great engine.......
they all seemed to admit although they run quite well they are still not with out
a few hick up's, glitches, problems
being it electrical, carbration, runing on etc, etc.
HELLO........ you want me to shell out 30 some odd thousand ( canadian ) for an
engine with problems and a short rebuild time?????
I dont think so........
when i could buy a used 0235 for 6000.00 and have it 0 timed for another 12,000,
and in the end have a Real aircraft engine with 2500 hr before overhaul time???????
There was not much of a decsision in my mind.
Down side, if you want to call it that?
Empty weight of 860 lbs. vs 700
Chris heintz will give approval for 1400 gross.
Had i to do over i would like to try the Jabiru,
I actually have this one for sale and would like to build the tail dragger version
now, in which case i would probably try the Jab engine???( out of curiousity
)
a friend of mine is in the finall assembly stages of his XL up in North Bay, Ontario,
he has installed the Jab , I am curious to see how it preforms for him.
All the Best...

Dave
I am in the middle of building my XL and still haven't decided what engine to
use, to date my choice has been the Australian Jabiru 3300.
Would you mind sharing information on your installation in particular some weight
and balance figures. What made you choose the 0-235 in the first place?

Hi;
This posting is interesting in spite of the wrong intended destination.
For comparison with the O235 performance, my CH-601HDS has a 912ULS installed with
an Arplast PV-50 in-flight adjustable.
Empty weight 630 lbs.
Easily cruises at 120 or 130 mph. Tops out at 140.
Climb @80mph is 1000-1500 fpm.
The 912S runs almost the same as the 912, but it had a severe vibration problem
when reducing power as it slowed down thru 4500
rpm to 3500 rpm. It was bad enough to break an exhaust pipe. On advice from several
sources including ZAC& Rotec, I had the gear reduction retrofitted with the
"slipper
clutch. The vibration has gone away. Now it is operating just like the 912. (ie:
feed it gas, check the oil and go flying)
So, the moral of the story is: The 912S is a great engine. Make sure that you get
the version with the slipper clutch.
That's my 2 cents worth.

Subject: Zenith-List: Cowl Fasteners
I used DZUZ for mine. They are the best choice as you can undress the entire
engine in about 2 minutes. This means you can do all the minor tweaks that
you know you should and not let them slide because its too much hassle to
get to the engine.
I epoxied a piece of .025 aluminum on the back side of the fiberglass,
claming it in place with the rivets holding the springs and the holes. Ialso
used the plastic washers to keep the DZUZs from falling out.

Would (for each side) 3 on the lower cowl, 3 on the horizontal joint
including the rear edge and
3 going over the top be enough of them (16 pieces total) including the
front pins for our airspeeds?

I am ready to install my ATG on my 701 but was wondering what other STOL 701
owners are using for wheel and brakes. The gear was manufactured by a well
known company and had the hydraulic line "gunned" in the gear. I have installed
Matco Reservoir Brake cylinders, so now I need advise on what axle, brake,
brake disc, wheel and tire, I certainly would appreciate input on this, thanks
in
advance for your help.
Regards,

Well, I have 5 Dzus on the upper cowl to the Upper Nose Skin. 2 on each side of
the Lower Cowl at the Side Skins. Plus about 17 10 x 32 Truss Head Machine screws
holding the Lower Cowl to my in-cowl Radiator ducting. I dropped the 2-
Heintz-pins in front for truss-head machine screws some time ago, too.
