Pleased to see you're still in the game. The new Sport Pilot rules will take more of us to HD wings one day.

What would be the advantages and disadvantages of doing that for a person who already has the PPL? --dv, N713Z ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:57:31 AM PST US From: ALEMBIC7@aol.com Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Sport Pilot and 601HDS --> Zenith-List message posted by: ALEMBIC7@aol.com One possible advantage I'm looking at is the potential loss of medical and ppl later on...although you may be able to reclassify the plane then if it happens...

First 8 feet long. Then I cut it down and re-welded it to 2000 mm long. It can handle full length .025 pieces. It is very a very light weight truss design with a turnbuckle for adjustment of the truss tension (for thick and long pieces). I also bought the aluminum 30" brake from Princess Auto (Canadian Harbor Freight) which is perfect for shorter thicker pieces - less set up time too.

What would >be the advantages and disadvantages of doing that for >a person who already has the PPL? A PPL isn't much good if someone can't pass the physical. One advantage of the Sport license is being able to use a valid drivers license in place of a physical. I think the only thing that would prevent the HDS from qualifying is the stall speed, which needs to be no more than 52 mph without flaps. Zenith list the HDS as having a stall speed of 54 mph. I would think there are modifications which could lower the stall speed to that range, a lot of certified planes have them.

Found that it was last updated January 14, 2004, but couldn't find any file with a 2004 date, especially 14 Jan. Anybody got a clue? Thanks in advance. BTW, whatever happened to the new engine monitor with thousands of inputs? I was looking forward to being able to keep tabs on "paint adhesion coefficient" while in flight.

I just need to know which hose to put the shut off valve for water going to the heater core. Is it the one with the water pump or the one coming from the spyder to the radiator? Thanks John Rethink your business approach for the new year with the helpful tips here. ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 08:34:43 PM PST US From: Tebenkof@aol.com Subject: Zenith-List: 701 fuselage stiffeners --> Zenith-List message posted by: Tebenkof@aol.com Hello list members, It has come to my attention, as I come close to finishing the rear fuselage, that some (many?, most?) 701 builders have added stiffeners for the large, flat and otherwise unsupported areas of the rear fueslage. Is there info available on what approach builders are taking to this? I have seen the "X" shapes on some photos on the ZAC site. Are most people doing this? Does it seem to make a real difference? Are there other designs people have used? As a first time builder I am a little surprised by the number of unanticipated decisions to be made. But actually it makes me feel pretty good. It really is more than a big version of the plastic models of our childhoods. On the other hand I am glad this site is here, and I will appreciate any help with this. Also thanks to the people who responded to my question about amphib floats and tailwheels. Jim greenough tebenkof@aol.com Oregon
