I have a non-electric cub with an Icom handheld and bent wire external antenna. I can talk 50 miles or more with the internal batteries. The antenna is more of a factor than the battery.

There will be continued pressure to restrict flying rights of light aircraft ... especially if some crazy actually uses one in an attack. Regulating small aircraft is so VISIBLE and makes good press for politicians. Meanwhile no one is about to address the preferred VEHICLE OF MASS DESTRUCTION, favoured by terroritsts from Oklahoma to Bagdad -- the pickup truck. Fly safe, and enjoy it while we can! ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:50:52 AM PST US From: "Scott Laughlin" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Zodiac 601HDS with Corvair engine --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Scott Laughlin" Greg: I'm buying parts from WW for my 601XL. I get answers/parts in "spurts." They have sent me everything I ordered, but sometimes it takes a while. I had to remind them of one thing I ordered and they sent it right after that. I always pay with Paypal so that makes it easy to keep a record also. All of the WW products have been excellent so far. I also got the manual and all three videos, which help. Are you close to assembling your engine?

Detroit would love that ! Then when someone releases saran gas in the NY subway, maybe they should close down the entire system forever! And you know what? The terrorists will sit back and laugh, knowing that they have won! Maybe someone should inform the American people that all these chemical and biological weapons are dreamed up and manufactured in Ft Detrick. MD, the US military bio warfare laboratories. Then maybe the UN should inspect these labs, and order the US to destroy them! (I wonder why they hate us so much?!!!!!!!) It never ceases to amaze me how our buffoons in government react to certain criminal acts, scaring and penalizing the population in order to achieve their own objectives. Through their own actions, they bing on the terrorist acts which they say they want to prevent! And this guarantees a never-ending "war on terrorism" , at huge profit to the special interests that run our government. > > > They promo'd an episode about tersts who use ultralights to release viruses. > > There will be continued pressure to restrict flying rights of light aircraft ... > especially if some crazy actually uses one in an > attack.

I and other drivers using professionally manufactured fuel cells and bladders have run into fuel starvation problems due to clogged outlets or filters as the foam breaks off small particles and they accumulate at the outlet port. The cells are great for the application they were designed for, crash impacts with deformation to the tank structure, but the foam will always decompose due to friction, vibration, chemicals or whatever. On the amateur sports car club racing circuit we ran 30 minute races with another hour or two in practice and qualifying and about 10 races a year. So you do the math before you put the foam in your tank. One other thing, most of the fuel boxes were steel. Dave --> Zenith-List message posted by: Brett Hanley Anyone interested in building fuel tanks should consider using foam inside them. This has been used for years in auto racing. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 12:09:58 PM PST US From: Dabusmith@aol.com Subject: Zenith-List: Aeroflash strobe --> Zenith-List message posted by: Dabusmith@aol.com I don't remember who asked about how to recharge strobe power supplies that have been sitting for too long.

At second stop, Morristown, TN a lady commercial pilot came up to the airplane and said, "that's a Zodiac, isn't it? I just flew in the XL two days ago in Mexico with Roger." She went on to say she saw 160 mph in level flight. I may have to start work on my second Zodie! Regards, Brent Battles 601HD 434 hrs since 5/18/00 Do Not Archive
