AD's are only issued for certificated aircraft not for homebuilts. The
designer of a homebuilt may issue notices of any design changes he feels
should be made. You should check with Zenith Aircraft.

Since the subject of Landing light location has come up, I would be
willing to share my approach with those interested. Ended up mounting two
redundant 55w halogen driving lights just ahead of the landing gear boxes.
Also included fairings to reduce drag. Kills two birds with one stone.
Installation came out looking pretty nice. Cost about $30 and took less
than 8 hours to make with simple tools. Can provide pics if you Email me
direct.

List . . . Why not consider some sort of light mounted on the strut. It would
be simple and easy to maintain. I intend to put my pitot tube on the strut
for the same reason. Hap Schoenberger, 701 tail complete, working on right wing.

I figure the 701 is such a draggy design (sweet, and neat, but a box none the less)
that I chose a simple way to accomplish two things. Most certified planes
have a taxi and landing light. VSTOL designs need a normal landing and a VSTOL
(extreme high angle of attack) landing light. They will also serve as taxi and
landing lights. At AutoZone or Whitney catalogue I bought a pair of "off road"
high intensity 380,000cp 100 watt 3"x6" prox. driving lights. These are mounted
under the seat, just ahead of the landing gear channel with a .060 doubler inside.
Individual switches on my power bus. They can be adjust separately, one forward
and one downward.

Go to this link to see a 701 with light on slat leading edge.

about the 4th picture down. This was the back cover picture on experimenter magazine
in the August issue, and the plane says Skyshops on the side of it. When
I install a landing/taxi light this is how I will probably do it.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I was have trouble
coming up with comfortable seats for my HDS. Was using 1.5" green foam
from JoAnn Fabrics for the back and leg rest cushions. Tried thicker 2"
and then 3" green foam for the bottom cushion which wedges in between the
other two. My back and legs were comfortable enough, but my posterior felt
caught in a clamshell. Not a very comfortable feeling.
To make a long story short, I took a gamble and purchased a piece of
3" x 16" x 18" temper foam from Aircraft Spruce for $80 (p/n 01-09300).
This material was supposedly used for astronaut seats and the price
reflects it too. At any rate I was able to get by with one piece and cut
it into 2 wedges using the family's electric kitchen knife. This tool
worked great but I had to do some fast talking when my wife caught me using
it! The finished product fits nicely between & on top of the back & leg
cushions. The new material choice made all the difference in the world.
You sink into this stuff to a comfortable degree but because it's three
layers of progressively stiffer foam, you no longer get "The Wedges".

When we were installing the peddles we had similar problems, betwen
the four persons that will fly our 701 (Dad, Larry, Myself and Carlos
our friend and building partner) there is a diference in height of
about 8 inches, so our fist idea was to make to set of holes (forward
and rear) make the rudder cables fit the shorter position and use
larger cables plates (7-C-6-1) that could reach both positions. and
have two sets of threaded steel rods for the steering rods (7-L-1-2J).
we initially installed per plans (forward position). Now that the
cabin is finished and we could "ground test" the cabin, we came with a
better solution: We have a set of pillows (sp? right word?)custom
made that will fasten with velcro to the "taller" upholstery for the
shorter pilots, when the pillows are not used they will be in the
bagagge compartment with the velcros, now we have both systems, the
one that works better will stay, of course will keep you posted when
the plane gets to fly (HOPE SOON).

Check the archives: I've been flying the 3-layer Temperfoam for 400 hours in the
seat bottom with 2' foam in the backrest. No issues.

If you have to buy Temperfoam in the future you might take a look at
Wicks. I found it was substantially cheaper than Aircraft Spruce.

Amen. Same setup as George. Ten hours in the seat out to Kansas City last month
- not a single "hot spot." On the return did a 3.4 hour non stop from Cincinnati-Blue
Ash to N94 (390 miles) without ever noticing the seat - and not
noticing the seat is the best of endorsements.
BTW, Wicks has the stuff much cheaper than ACS.
