--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Gary Wolf" <wolfpack@sentex.net>
Lance,
It appears that your skin is clecoed on but I can't see if the bottom has
been riveted. If you can remove the skin, you can remove the dent with a
kitchen spoon. Put the skin with the outside surface down on a piece of
smooth hardwood or similar. A table is good if it has a very hard and smooth
top. Use some WD40 or oil on the surface to allow the spoon to slip. Rub the
spoon over the dented surface, working from the edges to the centre. When
you finally get to the actual crease you will have to work down its length
as well as across.
I have to emphasize that the work surface must be hard. If you use
corrugated cardboard for example, the cardboard will give way and you will
create a smooth lump in the skin. Even softwood will give way. MDF or
hardwood is what I use. I get to do this a lot on .016 when smiles get
formed from careless handling.
If you use a hammer and a dolly, there is a good chance that you will
stretch the skin. The hammer will not always strike flat on the dolly unless
you have made one with the exact curvature of the skin. The hammer has to
have a slightly tighter radius than the skin. It would be a lot easier just
to unrivet the skin if necessary and spoon the crease out.
Gary Wolf

Bob the plotted the wing ribs are available on the
www.ch601.org
website. In the builders Resources section. I have all
three formats
there downloadable in Zip format.
Am I the only one having trouble getting the wing ribs
to print full size?
I know I am doing something wrong but cant figure out what.

Can't say if you can over-paint ZCr but can say that Thinner will take the
ZCr off easily.

Hi guys,
I don't know how many of you have mounted
your GPS, only to find it placed in some area that compromises
something else. I have a Lawrence airmap 100 that formerly mounted
to the yoke on a Cessna 150 and liked it there, so it was modified to fit
on the 601HDS control stick. The fit is good and adjustably swings
to the pilot or passenger for direct viewing and programming. Only needed
to make one piece that put the mount in front of the stick and the GPS
over the Y. Clearance is good and it's not obstructive at all.

Best regards,

I posted links to pics on shutterfly last year.
If you search the archives for ruruNY you might find some
more. Look here :
http://www.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=67b0de21b35a2673650c
These are for a 701 but might help .
The cork rings the size of the panel doubler give clearance for the nutplates and
screws from hitting the tank and keep the center terminal from reaching the
panel. There is a piece of teflon on the inside center of the panel also.
The panels were approved by Chris Heintz in May 2003 in a hand written letter mailed
to me. Basically he states a .025"
doubler in skin with panel overlapping the skin and it.

Atttempted answer to Martin Bima's question:
I have just returned from the shop where my 601 has been professionally
painted, finished yesterday. By any standard, it is superb (not just my
opinion)!!! I saw it after the prep work before the painting was actually
begun. ALL the aluminum had been rubbed hard with Scotch Bright
(spelling?). It was bright and gleaming and perfectly clean with a
scratched surface (to anchor the undercoat). This had all been done by
hand by a couple of people in a couple of days. I gather this prep work
is essential to a good paint job. So, yes - you must remove any
"overspray" trace of zinc chromate.

Max. I have the folding wing drawings but they are of very poor
quality--hand drawn and very difficult to read. I'll be happy to try
and scan a copy and send it to you as an attachment if you would like.
I think ZAC would be ashamed to put out such a poor product. The
option is not cheap in price.

To add to Rons question, are there any information on the
installation of the 701 folding wings. I have the option
but no instructions...

Thanks Brian, that's interesting...a doubler in the skin. Maybe that's
why I haven't heard back from ZAC on this yet.

Hi Carlos I just checked my plans and the wing lockers are there. So
they must be included in as a standard option.
