If it is actually the light spot then I have it backwards.

The radiator was positioned with the screw head down so the epoxy wouldn't gravitate away from the screw while it hardened. Then repeated at opposite end.

YOU, you determine how well the tire/tube is balanced by how you mount and center the tire on the rim. Use talcum powder to allow the rubber to slip on the wheel. Fuss with it! You can "seal" the tire fine with a tube and still be wildly out of balance. It took me three "fitting sessions" on one of my original tire/tube combos to get it fairly well balanced. Remember, you're not flying an F-16, guys! If all else fails, you could even call Nicholas and get verbal directions.

I had a very pleasant telephone contact with MIDO office of FAA and they were quite helpful and will send out some of the forms. They admitted they do some inspections but relinquished most to DAR's. They said sometimes there was less than a week of lead time needed to get an inspection from their office and other times it was into the months. Might try to go that way before reaching down deep in the wallet for a DAR. Thanks again Ron DeWees ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 01:05:29 PM PST US From: louiscfi@comcast.net Subject: Zenith-List: re: first year, and ww first flight --> Zenith-List message posted by: louiscfi@comcast.net Roy, Congrats on the first year of flying. Just wondering, how much horsepower do you think the engine is producing at that 100kt cruise? Also nice to hear that the zenvair is finally legal and flying. Cant wait to hear performance specs from that crowd. -- Louis 601xl, corvair pwr j-41 capt CFII SMEL Keep the greasy side down. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 04:36:36 PM PST US From: "Larry McFarland" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Re: licensing the beast --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Larry McFarland" Excellent choice Ron!
