Not sure. However, one tube to the rad is of a larger diameter than the

Or you can just clamp the metal to the edge of your workbench with about 1/2" +
or - hanging over the edge. Then run a gloved hand over it to make the crease.

Yes this is a technique that lots of RV builders and others use. A simple
hand tool with two rollers slightly offset from each other and pull the
aluminum thru it. It makes this nice looking crease. Some buy the tool and
some just buy to shower door rollers and mount them on a piece of .060,
6061 T6. That tool is available from lots of suppliers like Avery and
others. Tom

Several of us 801 builders are using some rubber boots that are from a
Yamaha snowmobile (!) that work just fine. They attach on the inside of
the firewall and form a seal. If that sounds like something that would
work for you, let me know and I'll send you pictures.

Really? How about laser beam temperature? 6061-T6 IS NOT anymore T6,
when
it's temperature raises over aprx. 100 degrees celsius.

The return line is always larger than the pressure line in any hydraulic
system. I suppose that applies to liquid cooling systems too, so use the
larger tube as the return (outlet).

| Subject: | Nose wheel valve stem |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Frank Jones" <fjones@sympatico.ca>
I'm curious to know how others have solved this problem. The supplied
tube for the 601XL (at least the one supplied when I got my kit) has a
valve stem that would interfere with the front wheel forks. In my case
it needed to be cut so it wouldn't hit the fork. In order to do this I
removed the valve, cut the stem shorter and tapped the valve thread
deeper. I had a heck of a time finding the right tap, something like a
#12-36 thread. Anyway, this basically works but my value has a slow leak
due to poor seating of the valve stem. I've got to refill my front tire
every week or so. Are there any other better solutions out there?

Brent:
It was great meeting you in the sheet metal shop this week. Thanks for the
tips on solid rivets. I just have one question for you. You said you flew
the factory demo XL to SnF? When I saw it, there was a large scratch on the
left wing, the landing lights were busted out and the wingtip had a big
dent! Did you try to fly through a barn or something?
I'm just giving you a hard time - Nick H. told me the Lancair tent blew
across the street and landed on the wing! I think he is going to duct tape
it back together and ask you to fly it home. Make sure he flies it first!
Have a safe trip home. It was nice meeting you and thanks again for the
time you spent with me in the sheet metal shop. It was a real learning
experience!

Here are some photos of laser cut 6061 T-6 if you want to look at the edges.
Select 'original' for most detail.

Hi guys, I'll try and answer a few of your questions about the materials listed.
The UHMW performs very similar to a cheap teflon. It is the next slickest
material that offers the least friction. I would suggest sticking with it for
the rudder centering. The cutting boards at *mart or W**mart are either HDPE
or Polypropylene. They would perform fairly well, but not as good. The Delrin
or Acetal material is not a low friction material, but is stronger in deflection.
I wouldn't suggest this would be a good place for it's use.

Hi list. I have gone through the archives and have been unable to find any final
consensus on the width of the elevator trim tab for the 601. I understand from
what I have read that the original width is to wide and is to sensitive. Has
anyone figured out an actual width that works well?
Thanks

| Subject: | Re: Nose wheel valve stem |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: bryanmmartin@comcast.net
I recieved a Matco wheel for my nose gear, it had the hole for the valve stem in
one of the wheel halves putting it off center. I found it very difficult to
thread the valve stem of my nose wheel tube through the hole in the matco rim
and even if I did it would cause the tube to be twisted in the wheel as it seems
the tube is designed to have the valve stem centered. I think I would have
had the same problem as you if I had used that hole. However, I noticed that
the Grove main wheels had the hole for the valve stem in the center of the wheel
(a half circle cutout on each half of the wheel). So, I put the two halves
of the Matco wheel together and drilled a new hole in the center where the two
halves come together and plugged the original hole with epoxy. Now the tube goes
in easily and the stem is centered and clear of the fork. I think the off-center
valve stem hole is a design flaw in the Matco wheel or it is designed for
a different type of tube. One more reason I wasn't
too impressed with the Matco wheel. I don't know how well the epoxy plug will
hold up in use as the plane is'nt finished yet but it is holding up with pressure
in the tire.

Ben,
Do you have any idea of what was the original application of those boots? I
went to a Yamaha motorcycle dealer and showed him the pics. He had no idea
what they were off but most likely not a bike.
I did find the pics at;
http://www.matronics.com/photoshare/Benford2@aol.com.03.08.2003/index.html
They look like the would do perfectly.
I wasn't able to find any part numbers on the archives. They may be there,
I'm just new to searching them.

I don't know about laser cutting of aluminum, but I know laser cutting of
steel does burn the edge. It hardens the steel at the edge for a few
thousandths of an inch.
Perhaps water cutting would leave a better edge?
Morgan at Custom Flight Components uses water cutting for his parts.
http://www.customflightltd.com/
I don't know how common it is but I'll bet if you do a google search for
"water cutting" or "water jet cutting"you would find some shops that do it.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Scott Laughlin" <cookwithgas@hotmail.com>
Hi John:
My 601XL plans call for a width of 415 mm so that's the way I built it.
Earlier this week while I was at Sun'n Fun I found a 601XL in front of the
EAA tent that had to be the best constructed 601XL I have seen to date. It
turns out this airplane was constructed in the Czech Republic (according to
Nick H.). The elevator trim on this airplane was extremely wide - wider
than I have ever seen. Here's a photo of that trim tab:
http://www.cooknwithgas.com/CzechTrimTab.JPG
Note the rain on the airplane - the weather was not the greatest.
Perhaps an email to Czech Aircraft Works at aircraft@czaw.cz would be in
order to find out why their elevator trim tabs are so large.

There are for a 99 and up snowmobile. Believe it or not but the do the same
function as we need to. If you live down south like some people and ya go into
a yamaha dealer asking for them you will get really strange looks. Ha. In
those pics on the matronics list Jim Frisby put a little write up about them. It
also might be in Gary Limings web site too. If not let me know and I will dig
through my receipts and get ya the numbers. They do fit and work perfect......

I didn't like the baffle material idea too much on my 801 either. I elected
to enclose the lower bearing and rod connections in an aluminum box. It has
a baffle material "gasket" around the nose gear strut, the box is attached
to the front of the firewall with screws and nut plates, so it can be
removed to service or inspect the rod ends.
Additionally, I put the baffle material on the back of the firewall where
the rods go thru, I slitted the material for the vertical motion of the
rods, then made a round hole along the slit to allow the baffle to close
when the rod is in flying position. It was a lot of work, but seems very
nearly air tight, and should give pretty good protection in case of fire.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Jim Frisby" <n801za@hotmail.com>
I don't know how many on the list have lycoming engines, but I for one have
always hated the job of cleaning the oil screen. Of course, the problem is
oil running down the back of the engine and making a mess of the engine
compartment.
One solution is to install a remote or angled oil filter adapter, but that
adds weight and $$$.
Yesterday, It was time to change the oil once again. I went to NAPA and got
some 99 cent oil absorbing blankets (about 16x20"). I took about half of
one, tucked it up under the screen housing, before removing the oil temp
probe and the housing.
Viola, that small piece of material absorbed all the oil before it could run
anywhere. Well worth the 99 cents.

I was concerned with that too, until I installed the whole assembly. Now
the wheel will spin and the stem (with cap installed) will barely miss
the fork, although there is probably only about 2mm clearance. It's been
a while since I installed it, but if I recall I carefully bent the stem
slightly.

I used these boots and they work perfect. Yamaha part # 8cr2198f-00-00 and 8cr-2195e-00-00.
One # is for the boot and the other for the metal mounting ring.
I did a search for yamaha snowmobile parts and found several sites that had them.

Thanks for the pic Scott. You might want to post your pics on your web site
for all to enjoy. Sounds like SNF was kind of wet and cold. I'm actually
building a 601HD with the external trim tab. By the way have you signed the
electronic petition at the EAA website to get the sport pilot rule finished
up and published.
Blue sunny skies this weekend and I'll be in the hangar working and dreaming

I haven't been able to follow this thread but if you are talking about the
initial test flying phase for a homebuilt:
As far as I know, having two aboard isn't legal in Canada. I specifically
asked Transport Canada if it were possible, or if they'd make an exception,
but the answer was no on both counts, at least from the person I spoke too.
This was about 5 years ago when my dad's 601 got flying. (I haven't
followed this thread, but understand that the US rules can be and have been
interpreted more liberally.)
In the end I agree with you fully that because of complementary skills,
having two aboard can improve safety overall.
Other than the very first flight, I still flew with my dad on the test
flights. So we had one experienced stick & rudder pilot, and one pilot who
was quick with numbers to act as flight test engineer. Had I not been
'risking my life' test flying, I would have been off at my local drop zone
skydiving anyway...

The rubber boots in question to seal the steering rods and keep your feet
from freezing are at:
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products/categories.asp?lid=6&lc=sno
Click on the "ONLINE PARTS CATALOG" box on the left......
Check the year 2000, Model VX700DXD VMAX 700 DeLuxe (elec start)
Under "Frame" in the online parts catalog for this model the fiche will
appear, Item 28 & 29 are shown, once for the left side, once for the right side.
Parts are identical, same part number L & R.
28 is the "COVER" (the BOOT) (part number 8CR-2198F-00-00)
29 is the "PLATE" (stamped metal ring) (part number 8CR-2195E-00-00)
The plate fits over the large end of the boot and rivets to the firewall.
Don't have a price, as this is corporate Yamaha site, but somebody on the
list can probably post results of visit to snowmobile dealer. We don't have many
of those in Texas.
