Dave,
I have been following MGL's EIS for a couple of
years and have heard nothing about a DG. Do you have
a link to wherever you found out about it? Their EIS
systems definitely pack a punch for the dollar, and I
am curious about the DG.
Thanks,
Brandon

Chip,
Do you sell the previously mentioned composite
gear? Any more information for others on the list?
IE... Weight, cost, modification specifics, pictures,
ect...
Respectfully,
Brandon

Charles,
I asked this question below to the EAA and this is the answer.
So long as the wing tip strobes meet the requirements of coverage
(horizontal and vertical visibility), you do not need a separate rotating
beacon.

Thank you for all of the replies so far.
We had looked at the CH 801 and like to STOL characteristics but think it
would be a bit slow for touring.
We thinking of buying the CH 604 kit in stages to save our initial outlay
(tail and fuselage first followed by wings to finish). I wondered if this
were a sensible order for building?
Regards
Bernie Garrett

Thank you Jon,
Cant wait until then. Have been working almost every day for the past
few months. Really seeing some progress now. Almost ready for the
engine. Total hours: 895 (lots of work in priming and painting)
Best regards,

Norm writes: "I recently saw Dave Rice's Titan with the 2200 and I was very
impressed at the smoothness of the engine but this scares me to
death, having to rebuild at 300 hours."
Norm: The question you should ask is whether the Jabiru engine that is
having
problems has CHT's and EGT's on all the cylinders. If they do not, the
possibility of overheating on individual cylinders is always there. My
feeling
is that the Jabiru engines are clearly superior to the heavier American iron
but; because they are aluminium, they do need careful monitoring. Careful
monitoring requires the continuous access to all CHT's and making
adjustments to
ensure all cylinders are approximately equal in temp.
We changed spark plugs yesterday that had been in operation for 100 hours.
The plugs for the #4 cylinder which was running within limits but higher
than others was readily discernible. We made one more tweak to the airflow
for
cylinders 2, 4 and 6 as a result.

Hi folks,
have some problems with my Rotax 912. During the last flight the engine
started
to run very rough and lost some power. I was able to land save. Did a
thorough
check of the engine, but couldn't find anything. When I did a test run, the
engine choughed very briefly during the magneto check. However, when
repeating
the magneto check this did not occur anymore. Today, I did another runup.
The
engine lost RPM when I switched off the left magneto. I could not reproduce
this
effect. Anybody with an idea or a similar experience? My best bet right now
is that one of the wires from the starter key switch is damaged.
Thanks
Thilo Kind

Hi,
I am new to the list and have been looking for a 4 seat metal kit for some
time now. We have just moved to Vancouver (Canada) from the United Kingdom
where the building of 4 seat kits is very much more restricted. The CH640
looks a good design, but I must admit I haven't looked into the insurance
costs yet! Most of my time so far has been spent in low wing designs, mainly
the Socata TB10 and some in the new Diamond Star DA40.
I also wondered what the grass field performance would be like for this
aircraft, how many are being built and what Zenith in Canada are like to
deal with. So far Mathieu seems very helpful. I must admit I would also like
to change the yokes to a Cessna/Piper style as they look a little narrow and
possibly change the Instrument Panel, but I guess those things are pretty
straightforward compared to building the rest of the kit!
Anyhow, our objective is to build a 4 seat aeroplane suitable for touring
for myself, my wife and our two daughters (currently 7 and 9) had any
feedback is welcome! We are keen to send off for the empennage and fuselage
kits, but I guess we need to look at all the options before committing
ourselves to a major expenditure.
Regards
Dr Bernie Garrett
Vancouver,

Rough running could be caused by bad ground lugs on the 2 ignition modules.
A bad ignition switch wire will let the engine keep running when you
shutdown. You have to cut off the gas to stop the engine. This was the
subject of an advisory from Rotax a long time ago. The ignition coil ground
lugs are another spot for trouble.

I'd really advise you consider the 801, tho it be a high wing, its
performance
in and out of short spaces and grass will really surprise you. With the
Canadian
tree density and terrain, the 801 might serve you better in the long run.
Get a flight demo in the 801 before you make up your mind.

I am building the CH-640, if you would like you can visit my builders page
at:
http://www.madbbs.com~jpaden
I should have mine in the air this spring and I fly a CH-300 now.
We love our ch-300 but need a larger aircraft since my children are
now 11 and 13 and getting to big for us all to fit in the CH-300.

Bernie,
I think the tail feathers establish the rules for building, the wings need
the
success of the tail feathers and the fuselage by this time is a complexity
that
would have been more difficult without the tail and wing structures first.
IMHO It might be easier this way because of the repetitive nature of the
parts.
The fuselage doesn't repeat as much.
