I was at ZAC Monday and noticed on their demo they have a piece of nylon ~1/8 thick and a couple inches long riveted on the wing, similar to the aileron stop, but at the top of the wing to contact the outboard edge of the flap when it is full up. When in flight the flap is held against the stop with air pressure. It didn't appear to bother the paint in the area of contact either.

I would be happy if my HD will hit 120~ with the same horsepower! Looking at that picture... Looks like you are running on the left take but the gauge is in the red! SWITCH TANKS FAST!!!!

Its got 10 > miles and hour on my HDS. I had trouble believing the ASI at first myself. I knew she FELT fast, but I'm usually skeptical of the advertised numbers on company websites. The next day I put the GPS on the panel and went flying again. It was a dead calm morning and I made a couple different runs going both ways with the same results: at ~2500 RPM I was indicating 110 MPH and the GPS showed 110 MPH. Lemme see if I can find the pics... ah, here's one: http://www.lightflyers.com/cruise3.jpg > > > Have you done a three way run and calibrated with you GPS or is this from > the ASI? Where is the static port for the ASI if this is the case. I built the pitot mast shown in the Bingelli book with the "piccilo tube" static port just above the pitot tube. It's mounted under the left wing just outboard of the leading edge tanks. > > > Zenith use the static port inside the cabin on their demonstrators, which > runs at lower pressure than ambient and artificially raises the indicated > speed. Yeah, that's the "easy way", but it does put the staic source in a bit of a low-pressure area. Frank, how much does your HDS weigh, and what engine are you using? I'm thinking about building a set of HDS wing panels later on. This project is just about done and I still want to BUILD something :) Rick P. == == == == ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:49:47 AM PST US Subject: Re: Zenith-List: 601XL excess flap movement From: wizard-24@juno.com --> Zenith-List message posted by: wizard-24@juno.com > Someone recently mentioned an issue with the outboard end of the > flap having excess movement when retracted.

My tech support question that I posed to ZAC about this issue included just that -- install a positive stop as one way to fix this. The other is to pull the flaps off and start over, so I think I'll try this method first. Craig, thanks very much for checking the demo XL!

I wanted to let you know that your information regarding the shipping of my engine with the help of Wylie Yates really paid off. He made me a great deal. Good service and a nice guy. Thank you very much for your help. Best wishes Johann G. Iceland. Johann Rather than repeat the story, go to http://www.geocities.com/r5t0ut21/shipping.html and read the story about how I shipped my Corvair engine from New Hampshire to Texas. These guys saved me a lot of money over what it would have cost if I just tried to do it myself.
