      Hello Listers:
      
      I could not resist thinking Vans has been feeling the competition and had  to 
      enter the Light Sport market -- but not with a variation of their current  
      offerings.  No, they say they want a new "Proof of Concept" clean sheet  design.
      
       The following quote came off the EAA e-Hotline newsletter this  morning:
      
      "A few specs noted include: Rotax 912S (80 or 100 hp); low-wing,  two-place 
      side by side; initially an experimental amateur-built; tricycle  gear"
      
      Wow - do they really need a Proof-of-Concept for a Zodiac XL ????
      
      Boy, am I gonna give the EAA chapter something to talk about when I show  
      them the new RV-LSA as a Zodiac !!!  Well, maybe not...THEY will still have  to
      
      bang rivets !!!!  We gently PULL them !!
      
      I have to stop - I'm having too much fun !!
      Absolutely DO NOT ARCHIVE

      not take any of this good-natured fun seriously  !!!

      Hello,
      
      I am about to cut the skins for the rear fuse - so here is the dumb
      question ...
      
      The plans show a straight line from point A to B, but the actual cut
      line comes out to 10-20 mm outside of the straight-line.
      
      1 - Is this right?
      2 - Why?
      3 - When the longerons are riveted on, do they come out bowed as well or
      are they installed on that straight line?
      
      Thanks,

      Martin, if you are referring to the drawing 7-f-2, you will see that the 
      skins do not have straight sides - typical deviation of 15 millimeters.  the 
      dashed lines inside the solid lines for each skin are the equivalent 
      straight line distances (I guess for reference or something).   the 
      longerons are somewhat flexible and bend the small amount shown to 
      accomodate the slightly curved sides.  that's why you drill and cleco every 
      3rd hole initially, to get them to conform.  hope this helps.
      thanks

      This is exactly what I did too -- just a small amount at a time...
      
      When I was originally rigging the ailerons, I realized that the plans give
      no method of how to determine the exact alignment for the ailerons vs. the
      airfoil.  The inboard wing fairing is not a good indicator (it gets
      installed to 'arbitrarily' match the ailerons anyways).  It comes down to
      'eyeballing' the curve of the upper wing surface, and trying to set the
      ailerons to follow that.
      
      Afterwards I decided to 'tweak' them a little (as Fred says, too) to get a
      good flying attitude for whatever cruise speed my aircraft was getting.
      
      One thing I was careful about -- When adjusting the length of the pushrods,
      I made ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that there was always lots of threaded end still
      inside the lock nuts at both ends.  (they won't work worth a darn if they
      become disconnected!!! ;-)
      
      fwiw,

      Jay,
      I don't know about the prop governor, but I to know that the conical (not 
      dynafocal) mount supplied by ZAC will not accomodate a Bendix mag on the 
      left side.  Do you have bendix mags, or slicks, or do you have the dual mag?
      
      On my 801 with O-320, I had to move the impulse mag to the right side and 
      put an electronic ignition on the left side, in order to get the engine to 
      fit the mounts.

      I've been working on the Zodiac (aka CH601xl) and did the rudder at the
      workshop and the rest of the tail at home. Except for the rudder, no one has
      inspected the work. I'm going for the wing kit at the end of this month.
      
      What is the bare legal minimum for inspection of work in progress? What is
      the recommended number of inspections, and by whom?
      
      You know, I've read the packet of info from the FAA, and until my eyes learn
      to pick out the important stuff, I am pretty much overwhelmed with the
      inspection process.
      
      Thanks for comments. (I live about 25 miles southwest of St. Louis,
      Missouri.)

      John:
      
      You no longer have to have in-process inspections. What is necessary is a log of
      what you are working on, dates, time, etc. and photographs of everything as
      you go, make sure you are included in some of the pictures to assure the inspector
      (Final Inspection) that you really did the work. It is strongly recommended
      that you have an experienced builder look over your work from time to time.
      If you don't belong to the EAA already it is a really good resource, they have
      volunteer Technical Advisors who will gladly check out your work and make suggestions.
      
      Good Luck

      Hello John:
      
      I hope an EAA official is reading this to verify, but as I understand the  
      process, YOU are the builder and manufacturer.  YOU sign off as the  authority
      
      that says the airplane is airworthy.
      
      That being said, EAA Tech Inspectors are happy to pay you a visit and  review 
      your techniques and craftsmanship, and in doing so, may make it easier  for 
      you to get insurance when you are ready for First Flight.  Having a  list of 
      inspection reports may make your airplane a delight in the eyes of the  DAR when
      
      it is time for your Airworthiness Inspection.
      
      I just finished the tail also and I asked my local Tech Inspector to take a  
      look before I put in the rivets.  Even though his experience is in RV's, he  
      was pleased at what he saw, only had one minor comment to make, and with his  
      opinion well in hand I riveted up the assembly and now it sits waiting for the
      
      rest of the airplane to be built.
      
      Just so you know, wing kits are currently on a 12 week delivery backlog  from 
      Mexico (MO, that is).
      
      Congratulations on your first milestone !!

      The EAA recommends three as "the absolute minimum number of visits for a
      Technical Counselor."  The details are (I've left out the parts that don't
      apply):
      
      First Visit:
      e) Metal -- before closing up structure
      
      Second visit:
      c) Metal -- when landing gear and engine is on.
      
      Third visit: (None apply)
      
      Fourth visit:
      a) Preflight all -- all assembled -- complete and ready for FAA inspector.
      b) Suggest that this be done within 60 days before the inspector comes, but
      not longer.
      
      My experience is that my Tech Counselor is looking for workmanship and safe
      practices.  His visits have been very worthwhile, just looking over the
      structures and discussing various parts.  A close working relationship with
      a Tech Counselor is invaluable, in my opinion.
      
      The FAA only wants to look at it once, when everything is assembled and
      ready for flight.

      John,
      Have a local EAA Chapter Technical Advisor look your work over just 
      before you close the wings
      or other item.  Invite them perhaps two or three times during your 
      construction.  Take a few pictures of the
      insides before you close.  These will help along with your journal or 
      constructon log to prove that you are the builder.
      These will also offer provice assurance that you've been the person 
      responsible for the effort right up to the Airworthiness inspection. 
      Never hurts to have a second set of eyes looking over your first stages 
      of construction and after assembly.
      Regards,

      Go to the EAA site and check the list of Technical Counselors and call one
      in your area.  I are one, just not in your area.  I recommend three
      inspections.  They are really not required, but I sure recommend them,
      another set of eyes sure can't hurt anything.
      The first one should be when you get the tail done, that way
      the Counselor might see something and give you some advise on it.  The
      second about when you finish the fuselage or wings, which ever you do first.
      Zenith recommends wings first, I don't see the logic in it, I did my
      fuselage first and the wings fit just fine.  And the third when you are
      finished just before the FAA inspection.  You get a copy of each inspection
      you can add to your paper work, it will make the FAA happy.

      It looks GREAT! It seems that I am taking the same path as you, wanted to 
      build an 801 but decided on a 701, cleared land for a 1300' strip and while 
      building my 701 am looking into hanger options. How long is your strip? Thanks
      for 
      the construcion photos and your tips, they are a great help. It seems like the
      
      Zenith instructions get more vague as I go along.

      Actually, Vans has been working on the RV-11 motorglider for quite some
      time, as a personal project. See:
      
      http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-11int.htm
      
      As you can see, it is a single-place, Jabiru-2200 powered design.
      
      This is NOT the LSA design hinted at by the EAA article. It will be likely
      be something entirely different, and would logically be direct competition
      for the Zodiac XL, Sonex, and others. If Van's history is any indication of
      the performance and success of their new LSA design, the competition should
      be sweating profusely right about now...

      This is an important part of the strenth of the Fuselage  construction.  
      Is amazing to see and feel how all this very thin (for our brain) aluminum skins
      can end up as such a strong "box".

      Yes, they come out bowed, in both directions.

      when you say get a copy of each , is there a form or something that gets filled
      out? 
      does eaa provide the form or do you have any of them, I want to make sure I have
      it when the technical counselor gets to my project.. around here it takes
      three or 4 weeks to get them over here.. very few around and the two that we
      do have , are not very interisted in coming..
