Genltemen.
I have to respectfully disagree on the MDF. Not in
all situations mind you. I know Scott Laughlin used
it and it is still great. My MDF table had dips in it
after the first year - luckily before I had to
construct any larger assemblies. My table is in my
basement and with fluctuations in humidity over the
seasons, it was not a good choice. Still a great
table for smaller work but only 4X8 it was always to
be replaced when I got to the wings and fuselage
anyway. When I made my new larger table I used
plywood. Maybe discuss your table location (re:
humidity) with your materials supplier. Many people
are happy with it and it works for them but not for
everybody.
If you think MDF won't be bothered by moisture, set an
ice cold beer on it on a hot humid day. Unless it is
somehow sealed it will suck it up.
Just my somewhat damp two cents.

I have on several occasions I needed a small piece of aluminum for a bracket or
something(meaning something I screwed up). I hesitated buying it at Lowe's or
Home Depot because every one said it was "Cheap Stuff".
Ordering a 2' piece from Aircraft Spruce was a pain in the @#%.
I went to Lowe's and asked them about the grade, it isn't stamped on their aluminum.
They called the distributor and it is 6063-T5. That is the only kind they
sell.
6063 has relatively high tensile properties, excellent finishing and a high degree
of resistance to corrosion. It is artificially aged only. That's according
to Aircraft Spruce's catalog info. Just thought I wasn't the only one wanting
to know.

MDF is about the best and cheapest alternative for a table top if you
remember that....
- MDF will soak up water and swell. I have spilled cups of water and
coffee on the surface, wiped it up and no problem - except on the edges
and through drill holes. The surface is water proof - but not for ever.
The exposed fibers will soak, swell and rot, so be careful.
- MDF will bend. When I built my table, I screwed the 3/4" MDF sheet to
the 2x8x12 beams. I intentionally put a 1/4" shim in the middle to see
what would happen - and sure enough, I screwed the board down tight on
either side and there was a very pronounced hump where the shim was.
Plywood will not do this because of the nature of the structure. MDF
bends because it is made of mostly glue with some wood fiber and mouse
droppings.
Make sure the frame is flat, square, true, level, and then put the
boards down.

| Subject: | Throttle Control |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: Andrew SanClemente <ansancle@townisp.com>
Hi,
I have a 601HDS with the Stratus Subaru and Im looking at some
alternatives to controlling the throttle besides the Throttle Rods
(6E5-4) supplied by Zenith.
I have installed the rest of the throttle control system as described
on 6E5 but would like to use a Vernier style Control like ACS A-750
instead of the control rods.
My question is, could I still drill a 3/16 hole in the Throttle
Bellcrank (as shown for the throttle rods) and then use a AN3 bolt to
attach a Rod-End which would go on the threaded end of the A-750? If
this doesn't make sense I can elaborate.
I think this would be a much neater looking setup from the panel side
and should work just the same. All feedback welcome, especially if
something is dangerous about this.
Thanks
Andy

Glad you found out! What I got there seemed pretty soft, so I've asked at
Lowes, even had them look in their records and ask the guy who stocked it
for them. Nobody could say.
This is good news.

As long as the friction control is built into the cable it should be OK but
if you then have two cables how will this work?...Reason being will one
cable simply curl up on itself instead of sliding inside its sleeve?
As to the treaded ball joint end this is a good mod. I threaded the end of
the throttle to go into a little ball joint that avoided the thing hanging
up on the edge of the whole.
In fact the throttle rod was less then 3/16 so I made a little tube and
welded a 3/16 nut on one end and smaller nut on the other that screwed into
a thread I cut on the end of the shortened throttle rod. I then used a piece
of 3/16th allthread to connect this juntion tube to the ball joint.
Very neat and works great.

Frank,
I think the ACS-A750 is a solid threaded rod, so there is no cable
to bind up. For the passenger side I planned on using a plain
threaded push/pull (No Vernier Control). Anyways, thats the theory
;)

Andrew,
I used alternative throttle control that turn the dual cable setup into a
single solid wire to the right carb and single flex-link between the Bing
carburators.
My firewall connection is also seen on the control linkage page on my site
if you're interested.
Never liked the spring tensioned cables and required more control.

This sounds like it will work but, if you use a vernier control, I don't think
you can install dual throttle controls. The vernier throttle doesn't allow the
the control to be moved unless you either turn the control or push the release
button.
I did away with the Zenith throttle setup entirely. I used a vernier control in
my plane and have only one throttle control which is mounted on the left side
of the panel. This can be reached from the right seat if necessary. My vernier
control cable goes to a fitting in the firewall. The center wire passes through
to the engine compartment coming out just above the upper shelf on the firewall.
The throttle cable sleeves from the carburetors attach to fittings in an
"L" bracket riveted to the firewall shelf ahead of this point. In between the
firewall and this bracket I have a small metal plate about an inch long by half
an inch wide with three holes drilled in it to connect the control wire to
the throttle cables. The wire from the throttle control goes through the center
hole from the back side with a cable stop on the front side. The cables from
the carburetors pass through the other two holes in the plate with thelr cable
stops on the back side of the plate. This allows s
mooth operation of the throttles with no bending of the cables at the attachment
fittings. I did something similar with the choke cables except I just connected
all three cables together with one cable stop between the firewall and the
bracket.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "George Swinford" <grs-pms@comcast.net>
Andrew:
I didn't like the idea of the open slot in the firewall for the throttle rod and
I wanted to control the throttle friction. I replaced the stock tee handle with
a 3/16 dia. steel rod which passes thru a bushed hole in the firewall. This
hole is located just above the throttle control shaft and outboard of the vertical
arm that is meant to receive the throttle rod. I threaded the ends of the
rod (10-32). On the forward end an automotive clevis fitting (from NAPA) extends
ahead of the throttle control shaft. A link extends upward and aft from
the clevis to the top of the vertical arm.
I cut the cable off a friction lock throttle control, leaving the housing and
the solid rod with the throttle knob on the end. I tapped this rod (10-32 again)
to connect to the aft end of the rod which runs thru the firewall. The whole
setup is duplicated on the right hand side. The friction lock feature seems
to work well, although I don't have it connected to the engine yet. I believe
John Goodings is flying with a similar arrangement. Maybe he will comment.

much panel space is required and the drawings from

The fuel injected stock Subaru engine has two places where you can control
the throttle. You have the regular throttle, and you have what was for the
cruise control. They are independent of each other. Either one will open
and close the throttle. I use stranded cable inside housings. You can get
adjustable stops, ends, cables, housings, etc from Aircraft Spruce or Wicks.
Actually it's more like a motorcycle setup. The one drawback and the thing
you have to remember is that if you make two throttles, then one will not
close the other. I am going to use two, but the second is just for back up
in case the cable breaks on the primary. I'm not going to use any of the
Zenith setup, just two push pull cables with fiction lock.

Reference assembly manual 6B-1 page 7, bottom photo. Quote "Refer to 6B2-4
for the layout of rivets through 6B1-6.
I've studied the plans for awhile now and just want to make sure I'm getting
it. Plans 6B2-4 (Lower Rudder Hinge - Top) shows two AN3-5A bolts on the
outside, one center hole for the tie down ring (5/16th's) and an A5 rivet in
between the bolts and tie down ring. When positioning 6B1-6 for the Rear HT
Frame, did you just drill a #40 pilot hole for all of these into 6B1-6,
taking in account the needed edge distances? After that did you back drill
through the End Skin 6B1-3?
In the assembly manual 6B2-2 page 2, it talks about back drilling the Lower
Rudder Hinge through 6B1-3.
So, there's only 5 holes in 6B1-6 and the placement really is as shown in
6B2-4, right?
Thanks for any help.

Tail finished, while waiting on corrected wing skins I'm building a
fuselage!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Virus Laden Spam Purports To Be From Matronics... |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: dralle@matronics.com (Matt Dralle)
Dear Listers,
First let me say that I normally don't condone the sharing of warnings
about Internet viruses on the Matronics Email Lists. I don't want to
start a storm of discussion regarding computer viruses on the Lists, so
please just note the information below and refrain from commenting to
the List. The circumstances I describe below are disturbing enough
that I felt an explanation is necessary. That being said...
There is a new email-bourne virus running rampant on the Internet that
is cleverly disguising itself as legitimate email warning of such
things as:
"your email account is disabled because of unauthorized access"
"Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail
content) outgoing from your e-mail account"
"Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In
order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions."
"Our main mailing server will be temporary unavailable for next two
days, to continue receiving mail in these days you have to
configure our free auto-forwarding service."
All of these messages include an attachment that you are instructed to
click upon to "Get more information", "clean the virus from your
system", or "check your system for infections".
These enclosures all contain a virus that will infect your system and
propagate even more copies of the original message.
The disturbing part of these messages is that they appear to be coming
from very legitimate addresses and have very legitimate, convincing
dialog. For example, I have received a number of them today that
appear to be from "support@matronics.com", "management@matronics.com",
"administration@matronics.com", and "staff@matronics.com".
The text of the messages seems believable enough, and given the forged
source address, seem even more legitimate.
Please be assured that no one at Matronics.com will be sending you
these kinds of messages. If you receive one, it is a spam/virus that
has forged headers and was sent to you from someone other than
Matronics. Delete the message and the attachment promptly. Invest in
a copy of Norton Antivirus and keep the definitions up dated on a daily
basis.
Again, I want to stress that I *DO NOT* want a big discussion of
viruses on the Matronics Email Lists. Please do not reply to this
email with any comments. You may write to me directly at
dralle@matronics.com if you wish, but do not include the List.
Since many of these appear to come from matronics.com, I wanted to
assure everyone that Matronics wasn't the real source of these messages.
Let's be careful out there and keep those virus definitions up to date!
Today alone, the Matronics spam filter and virus blocking appliance
has filtered out 11,550 spam messages and 375 viruses! That's just in
an 18 hour period!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle
