A follow-up on the Avex rivets issue (see Kevin's text at the bottom of this note
for context):
I wrote to ZAC asking about sourcing the rivets:
------
We were told that the UK factory was closed, and the rivets
are now (starting in October 2004) manufactured in China.
Has ZAC tested the rivets from the new source yet?
Any recommendations regarding the sourcing of pop rivets
in light of these events?
------
I sent the note above on Dec/08. Nothing yet, which is rather unusual. More often
than not, ZAC
replies within 24 h.
So, I wrote to Flypass, the Canadian distributor for Zenair aircraft.
Below is the dialog:
------
Carlos,
We order our rivets from Aircraft Spruce in the US
because we consider their prices to be the best.
I suggest that you do the same, otherwise you will
end up paying a handling charge from us, or any
other company in Canada. Aircraft Spruce will
supply in 24 hours.
Cheers,
Michael

Surprising, to say the least.
If and when I hear from ZAC, I'll post an update.

Hi everyone. Russel Johnson sent me a snippet from his 1998 HD/HDS drawings and
I've cut and pasted the two wheel fork drawings so everyone can see the difference
and make up your own mind. See the drawings on my website in ".JPG" format

David Barth and Mark Townsend if you want to copy this over to CH601.ORG, please
feel free to do so.
Happy building,

Hello, List,
I believe I remember seeing on this list that someone was looking for a
601-HD, partially completed. Well, I know of one which will probably be for
sale soon. The condition of the plane (as told to me - I haven't seen it) is
as follows:
Fuselage - complete, on gear (tri), brakes plumbed & installed
Wings - complete, not mounted, LE tanks
Rudder & Stabilizer - complete, not mounted
Canopy - mounted (temporarily)
no IP, no electrics, no lights, no FWF
I'm told that the workmanship is good, haven't seen it.
I don't know what documentation of the build there may be.
I believe it could be a good bargain for someone who wants an 85% kit for SP.
Anyone who's interested please contact me off-list.
Phil Raker N556P HDS/Stratus ~85% completed

Thanks Carlos for following up on this. BTW I forgot to mention that this conversation
was with the Canadian division of Textron.

Hello All,
After I sent the note yesterday, I flew a sortie in the 135 and wouldn't ya know
it but I lost one of my TRs. Halfway through the flight I noticed that the
load on one of the one had dropped to 0. This wasn't too bad because the other
had picked up the load and it was not maxed out. This got me to thinking about
another situation where it might be useful on the Zodiac. If your capacity
on your bus is close to maxed out then this might help you manage the load.
In other words making sure that you don't turn too many gadgets on at once. But
the better solution is to go a head and make sure that you don't have your
circuit overloaded to begin with.
Just some thoughts
Cheers
Matt Archer
