A little off subject, I kill them before they get to my computer. I use a program called mailwasher, it allows you to look at your e-mail at your ISP server level before it is downloaded to your computer. Allows delete, blacklist, bounce and more. After you check off what you want to do, you click on process e-mail and only those that you want will be downloaded to your computer. It save you a ton of download time. Its free, if you want to put up with a little advertising, It's $29, if I remember right, if you want the full no-advertising version. I highly recommend it. I might add, that it is very easy to use. It can be found at www.mailwasher.net.

I have started documenting the building process on my site. It is about 2/3s down on the first page, titled "PegaStol Wing Building Process". I only have a couple of pages, I am trying to add a page a day until I catch up with where I am on the actual building, then it may slow way down. If you see any errors such as typos or have suggestions, please e-mail me and I will fix the errors and consider the suggestions. My e-mail is lrm@isp.com, make sure you put something in the subject matter otherwise I use mailwasher and may zap them before I read them.

Norm in Nevada ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 06:21:36 PM PST US From: Tim & Diane Shankland Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Re: 601XL Fuel Valve and duel control problem --> Zenith-List message posted by: Tim & Diane Shankland There is an aspect of mechanical engine fuel pumps that is often not considered. They are not additive for fuel pressure. Most engine driven pumps do not pump on the "power stroke" from the engine. That is when the engine pulls the diaphragm down it does not pumps fuel out, it compresses a spring. When the power stroke is done the spring forces the fuel out, so the pressure from the pump is determined by the spring. This is because it it pumped on the power stoke the pressure would overwhelm the carb. Since the output pressure of the mechanical pump is determined by its' spring it is not additive. That is why low wing aircraft with both an engine driven pump and an electric "boast pump" have no problem with over pressure.

Looking at the photo assembly manual it looks like you should not attach the lower fairing on the rudder till some point later. I have been looking through the plans and the assembly manual and can not seem to find out when to attach it. Does any one know why it should be left off till later?

In fact, the side skins may need to be trimmed to give some clearance for it. Don't rivet that part of the rudder until the rudder is trial fit to the fuselage and the fairing is fit at that time.

You will most likely have to make some adjustments to the fairing to get proper clearance from the fuselage skin. Plus you will have to cut out a spot to allow you to put the bolts in place.
