Can you send me one off-line, or post it to the Matronix "Photo share?" If it is in the inside flange, you may be OK. Scott Laughiln www.cooknwithgas.com ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Tommy Clark" Subject: Zenith-List: Unplanned hole in 601 skin --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Tommy Clark" Hi group, My name is Tommy Clark, I've just started a 601XL. While working the elevator, I was trying to "tweak" the flange on the elevator skin with a smooth pair of pliers, and pulled a hole in the skin, approximately 1/8-3/16 "L" shaped tear in the flange, near the bend. What should I do? Is my skin trashed or is it an issue? I would appreciate any input from you guys that has been there.

The air filter looks to be 1/2" smaller ID than it should be to fit the circular indentation in the air box cover. Anybody run into the same issue? It just doesn't look right. Is there a slightly larger filter out there that fits a little better? Thanks everyone.

Take a look at the design drawing of the internal spar itself. There are 42 holes in it to begin with. Do you have that drawing? I can not believe you would have made the "no-no" statement if you had looked at this in the context of the ZAC drawings.

I had a fold up trailer that I was moving around the garage. It decided to unfold as my back was turned and you can guess that it didn't just fall on the floor. I turned around just in time to see it bounce several times off my elevator. I felt that my elevator was going to need to be re-skinned, but ZAC said it would be possible to remove the dented portion and replace with the same thickness metal. Of course at a slight appearance penalty. You may be able to stop drill the tear and put a patch over it. Call ZAC and see what they have to say about it.

I yearly mityvac hand pump the dual 4 piston calipers on my Harley as an assistant keeps the reservoir topped off . When I am finished running 1/2 a can of silicone brake fluid through the system I take the bike for a ride with some heavy braking and I flush it one more time. The fluid on the last flush is as clean as you could ask for. My best guess for problems with this on the airplane is their a compatability problem between the two fluids that would require a complete disassembaly of the entire system. Also, if your going to go that far, why not replace the internal components anyhow? A final note, what do you clean the lines with that will not leave a residue that would contaminate the new fluid?

He has only listed a mailing address. http://www.experimental-aviation.com/Directory.asp?m=detail&id=383842247 I don't know anything about his performance. I guess you could write him. If you do, there are a bunch of us that would like to know what he has to say about it.
