    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Michel Therrien <mtherr@yahoo.com> The panel looks "fairly" complete for the purpose. However, I noticed that some critical components are missing: . CD Player . Satellite telephone system . Television (Satellite) and in-flight entertainment system. . A Radar altimeter is critical and so would be the TCAS (sure you don't have that on the bench somewhere?) . I would never fly in a 601 XL without a weather radar on board... these storms can come so fast you know?) . I believe that there are electronic check list devices that could be useful as well.

    Subject: Feeling like a kid
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Michel Therrien <mtherr@yahoo.com> I now realize how much patience is needed for building aircrafts. When I ordered my plans in december 1998, I thought that all would be done by 2001. Well, I got released of the flight restrictions on September 8th, after completing the 25 hours of flight testing. OH.. did I suggest that "I" completed the test flights? NO... for all summer, I looked at my aircraft from the ground as my friend was doing the test flights... I am not a pilot. My only hands-on enjoyment was to make corrections and improvements to the plane between flights. Of course, I was proud of seeing the plane in the air. Only after I got the special certificate of airworthiness for amateur-built aircrafts could I board the plane as a passenger... for a few rides. Then, my pilot introduced my instructor to the 601 so I could take flying lessons on my own plane. Again, I was on the ground waiting for this to be done and hoping that weather would allow them to do this as fast as possible... due to the availability restrictions of both men, it took them three weeks to do 5 hours of flights. BUT IT IS DONE! Yesterday, my instructor being nervous because only I have brake controls, made me do some taxiing, accelerating and braking exercises yesterday for 45 minutes. And TODAY, if weather permits, I will take control my own plane for my first official practical training session. (I had a familiarization flight with the flight school owner a few weeks ago). I feel like a little kid to who we give a long-awaited for present.

    Subject: Arm Rest 601XL
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Scott Laughlin" <cookwithgas@hotmail.com> Fellow XL builders: This weekend I had plans to fabricate and install the arm rest and move on to some other fuselage construction. I found out the arm rest is a fairly difficult installation and took most of my weekend work time. The plans and assembly manual are very brief on this item. I saw no way to make sure the thing was true and square if I just installed the parts according to the manual. I used my table saw to make a true and square jig and built the armrest around this. I drilled right into the wood and installed the clecos into the wood jig. The jig is made from scrap pressboard shelving. MDF would have worked, but I used what I had. My table saw allowed me to make sure the top was square with the bottom and the width was the same for the top and bottom. The rear angle was "tweaked" for an exact fit in my airplane. Here's a photo of the jig: http://www.cooknwithgas.com/10_2_04_CenterJig.jpg And a day later, here it is with everything cleco'd in place: http://www.cooknwithgas.com/10_3_04_CenterJig.jpg Another advantage to having the jig is that you can drill the first few holes in the "L" angles, then lift the whole thing out, lay it on the workbench and drill the remaining holes nice and straight. The first few have to be angled to fit in tight areas. Same with the holes down into the fuselage -just lift out the jig and leave the L-angles in place and drill straight down. I am making this post in hopes that it will help someone trying to decide how to install this part. I lost at least an hour trying to decide if I needed a jig or not. The manual just shows photos of the L-angles being installed, then attaching the armrest. Easier said than done. The scary thing is that I only have three or four fuselage drawings to de-cipher for my project. Good luck and happy building, Scott Laughlin http://www.cooknwithgas.com/

    Subject: Re: panel design
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Andrew SanClemente <ansancle@townisp.com> For switches, you might want to think about putting the following on the left : Fuel Pumps Ignition toggles (for backup ignition if installed) Radios/Nav equipment (don't want to be switching hands to change a freq or squawk) Landing Lights Im sure others can think of more. The only other suggestion I would have is to think about the type of flying you plan on doing and only install what you need. Every piece of equipment adds complexity to your panel in terms of installation and wiring. It also adds to the total draw, make sure your alternator/generator/etc... can power all of your instruments and still have enough juice left to charge your battery. I installed a moderately full panel and actually removed equipment during final installation as I felt it was unnecessary and just added weight. Im a good weather only VFR pilot and didn't need a bunch of the stuff I had originally planned for. That all being said to each his own, and if you want all that stuff put it in! It sure looks very cool! - Andy 601 HDS Stratus Subaru For switches, you might want to think about putting the following on the left : Fuel Pumps Ignition toggles (for backup ignition if installed) Radios/Nav equipment (don't want to be switching hands to change a freq or squawk) Landing Lights Im sure others can think of more.

While it's fun to plan when you're in the preliminary stages, this is a 601 for cripes sakes! If you want a panel like this and have the coin for it, then build an RV. The panel is an intensely personal connection to your a/c, and I repeat, INTENSELY! Don't take anyone else's advice but rather spend hours and hours sitting in your partially completed fuse and run through all the routine movements that bring about interaction with the equipment you are certain, certain you need. Move from there to cut 'n paste with pictures of instruments (the SkySports catalogue is a good source) on the blank panel bulkhead. I'll resist the urge to tell you to keep it simple (whoops!) tailwinds jeff do not archive

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Alejandro Roca <alex_roca@mac.com> Lance Yes. That is the Grand Rapids EFIS. I had originally planned to only have a GPS mounted on the instrument panel (Garmin 196). After buying it and actually building a panel mount, I decided it was just too small (way too much information for such a small screen). Don't get me wrong, it's a great product but I feel that it forces you to focus all your attention onto a very small area (you need to have it either on your lap or hold it close enough to read) taking away from your primary function, so mounting it on the instrument panel itself was not a very practical ideas. Then I decided to get the multifunctional display from Grand rapids (engine monitoring and moving map). I have connected the 196 with it and it works great. I plan to purchase the AHRS computer next year. I really enjoy the size and simplicity of the screen layouts. Even though it's a fairly new product, Grand Rapids has made many improvements and upgrades. I am not IFR certified and I don't fully understand it's full functionality but I figured it's something I will need in the future. Grand rapids is already adding the capability of displaying traffic and also plans to add weather too.
