I seem to remember reading about one of the members who removed one of his
main gear bungees on each side to provide for smoother landings with a bit
more "give". I CAN'T FIND THE POST! Whoever wrote it would you be kind
enough to forward it to me or repost. I checked the archives and couldn't
find it so I might have read it on someone's web site...

Thanks for the replies.
Very sad reminder of the dangers of wake turbulence, and that bad can things
happen even to good pilots. The good news is the pilot survived and is
another testament to the safe design of the Zodiac.

OK plans builders, are you tired of searching through your 601XL plans
to get a hardware order together? Now you can have a complete list of
all hardware that comes with the Kit. Just visit the Builders Resources
pages of www.ch601.org I'm still working on the list for the HD/HDS.

I talked to Chris about it in November; he said it is not dead but that
it also was not very important either. I believe you will see the CH152

Amen -- the fees are killing me too. Here is my story just FYI for others shipping
to Canada and to help set expectations in dealing with the shipping company.
I got the tail kit shipped separately, Reimer(roadway express's Canadian shipping
company) got it and in a frustrating comedy of errors they proceeded to tell me:
1) It was "all paid for to ship to my door" just need to clear with customs.
2) I'll get it the next day once it is cleared through customs.
3) We don't know how much to charge you for shipping yet so can't deliver it.
4) Shipping is $154 and we'll ship it tomorrow.
5) Shipping is $157 and can't be sent before next Wednesday.
6) We charge $77 to ship it to a residence. Or you can pick it up if you want
for
no extra charge.
6) There is no way we can ship it prior to next Thursday.
By number 5 I was rather peeved and proceeded to describe their incompetence to
which she just replied (3 or 4 times) "We charge $77 to ship it to a residence.
or
you can pick it up yourself."
Apparently you can clear it with customs yourself too, I chose to hire "Tudor"
a
company that will clear it for you-- they were really great... I have the special
circumstances of being an american living in Toronto on the Tourist visa as my
residency application is being processed, so I don't have a Social Insurance Number.
It looked like I may not be able to receive anything, but Tudor gave me some
internal phone number to a quite competent customs agent who created an "importer
number" for me... from then on it was a piece of cake. There also may be a way
to
avoid PST on the shipment, although I think I had to pay both PST and GST (15%)
and
a brokerage fee of $100.
I think previous people on this list had other shipping issues, in particular with
receiving the big box with wings/fuselage where Reimer/Roadway Express couldn't
get
it off the truck. The solution was to hire moving people to move it from the
warehouse to home. So I'm anticipating doing that with the next box.
Anyway

PAY TAXES ...
DO NOT PAY BROKERAGE!!!!
No, they are not the same.
Do you have to pay taxes? YES - We all need roads and hospitals and
advertising firms. You have to pay either when you receive the material
or at the end of your build, because your DAR will want to see receipts
for all those goodies and shiny metal. You will have to pay now or
later. I suggest pay now, because who wants a huge tax bill before you
fly, right?
(although not aviation related - we still want to build airplanes in the
most economical fashion)
Do you have to pay Brokerage? NO NO NO.
Brokerage is the service provided by a third party to do all of the
paperwork (and its not much) to work out the taxes and duty ($0 for
"made in USA" material).
If UPS shows up at your door with your package, they will charge you
brokerage.
The two ways to reduce/avoid this is
1 - Use Post. GOOD - They charge $5 through a local broker. BAD - No
tracking and could be slow.
2 - (What I do) - Ship UPS, and as soon as you see that the package has
a tracking number, phone UPS and tell them it is a "CLEARS OWN CUSTOMS"
package. They will call you when it gets into town. You drive the UPS
place, pick up a slip, drive to customs, let the friendly and courteous
agent fill out all of the paperwork (one sheet), then you pay the taxes
and they give you another slip that you take back to UPS to release your
package. In my case, Customs and UPS are 2 minutes from each other by
car. Other situations may vary.
I had paid more than $200 in brokerage in the last 4 years before
figuring out the UPS is not the only broker in town.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Skyshop" <Danny@skyshops.org>
Brian,
You made good observations on the differences between Skyshop's and
Zenair's 701 firewall forward package. The only clarification would be
to mention that our cowling is completely redesigned for streamline and
cooling efficiency. This in combination with our NACA scoop/airbox,
Woodcomp carbon fiber prop, and customized plenum account for the
majority of our performance gains. (The plenum cannot be used as
supplied from Rotax, it requires modifications, welding and reshaping.)
The different in the prices of the kits besides the prop is primarily
because of the Rotax airbox which lists for $675 approximately.
Last comment: Although we don't sell just parts from our kit we do
support everything we sell as far as replacement parts go. Just remember
we are only a small company trying to better support the Zenair
community and it's very difficult for us to sell all of the small
individual parts separately with limited resources.
Seasons greetings,
Danny

Hello !!
As I remember in a recent issue of Kitplanes where Chris Heinz was
interviewed, the Gemini project is stalled (indefinitely?) for lack of a
full-feathering propeller for use on the Jabaru engine. The drag from a stationary
propeller in single-engine flight makes the plane a slug.
Don't expect the Gemini to become reality anytime soon.

When I received my CH801 kit, I requested, and received an Excel Spreadsheet
containing the inventory list from Zenith. I assume they do the 601 kits
the same way, and would be willing to provide the electronic list to any kit
builder.
I imported the excel data into microsoft Access and used it to do inventory
and part location control for my kit during building. Using it, I was able
to print out a list of parts needed for a particular assembly, along with
the box it was in, and the shelf I had it stored on.

I am using a single master cylinder from a 96 geo
metro, mounted on outside firewall. This is possible
because my 701 is a nose dragger and steers with the
front wheel. Tail draggers need differential braking
but nose draggers don,t.
Possible food for thought.

Hellp Paul:
I once flew a early production Piper Cherokee that did NOT have toe
brakes...only the one handle that doubled as a parking brake. Sure, the nosewheel
steered, but not anywhere as tight a turn as I could get with differential
braking. That one shortcoming was a major factor in my saying NO to that
airplane.
The Cessna 172 I fly now has toe brakes (of course) and steerable nosewheel
and I find myself with differential braking all the time; the turning radius
is very large without it.
You may want to reconsider.
Just my 2 cents worth, YMMV.

My 701 with regular nose wheel set up turns tightly, I have yet to use the
brakes to turn, only to stop. Really depends on each plane's gear geometry.

Roy,
Turning around (180) in a narrow strip, even a "nose dragger" needs a little help
from the diferencial brakes, not to much, to stress the firewall and with
a little trottle help.

Paul,
I am using a single master cylinder from a 96 geo
metro, mounted on outside firewall. This is possible
because my 701 is a nose dragger and steers with the
front wheel. Tail draggers need differential braking
but nose draggers don,t.
Possible food for thought.

I usually have an old car battery around but sometimes when one
is not handy I use the 12 volt battery from my drill.

Gents,
I also used a battery pack from a 14v cordless.
This came in very useful when adjusting the movement
of the aileron trim tab.

I built my Zodiac in a 24 foot cargo trailer, I usually kept the small gel
cell battery for the trailer brakes stored inside the trailer when it was
parked for long periods. I often used this battery to test my avionics. I
also had available a portable 12V power pack. If none of these were handy, I
sometimes used one of my drill batteries.

I bought (from JC Whitney, I think) one of those portable power supply things that
are used to charge batteries and provide power to portable devices. You plug
it in the wall, and there are several different DC voltage "outs" (including
12V) which you can use to power almost anything, including the electrical system
on your plane. Plus, they're not very expensive. Really comes in handy.
