--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Cdngoose" <601xl@sympatico.ca>
A simple trick that may be of help in this situation is to take a piece
of wielding rod for oxy /acy and weld a drill bit on the end of each
rod. This gives you a very long drill bit to chuck in your drill and
allows you to bend the bit to fit into very tight quarters. Sometimes
this will do holes where a 90 degree drill can't even touch.

I bent the angles (just enough), drilled + bent them back.
The angle drill head that I bought was useless.
It needed too much space. I built without an angle drill.

Hi guys,
While performing the annual inspection, I realized that beyond the
spray lube on my rudder hinges and on the elevator
hinge pin, there's not been any lube added since building. Is there
a better recommended lube for aluminum than from the spray can?

I picked up a 12" long drill bit from boeing surplus.
Using a rather skinny air drill and holding the drill bit with my gloved
hand, I was able to flex the bit enough to drill through the flange.

Thanks for the info on drilling the wing spar to nose
rib angles. After looking at angle drills and methods
of drilling from several people, I finally ordered a
right angle drill attachment and drill bit set from
http://www.averytools.com, their 9885 set. It looked
to be one of the most compact and higher quality sets
I looked at. I was a little afraid of those with
plastic in the head, and this ones looks to be all
metal. And the head dimension was smaller than the
plastic ones. I'll see how it works.

I used assembley grease then covered it with graphite which stuck to the
grease. I don't know if that's any better than any thing else. But once
the graphite is in there it gets in the aluminum and tends to stay.

I have used in my hinges a little bit of a special grease... I use the white one
that is for the first assemble of the engines, when they are repaired, comes
in a tube (like the tooth paste).
Is a very good quality grease. any mayor car engine part seller will handle it.
They have a good amount of antifriction, for the first revolutions of the engine
before the oil is pumped in.
Previous of using the grease (several years ago), I used Bardhall 2 (recomended
for smokey engines). Also a great oiler.
Every so often (at least ones a year) I clean the hinges with a little brush with
gasoline to get the posible dirt out, dry the gasoline with the air compressor
and then aply the grease.
I also use this grease when I give full mantainance to my bicycle, great stuff.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: Mike Sinclair <mike.sinclair@att.net>
Need some expertise from operators of flying 701's. I talked to the FAA guy
from the local FSDO and he told me that because I only did a major repair
rather than a major change that I should do a Conditional Inspection and make
the appropriate entries in the aircraft log before I put my plane back in the
air. I received my repairmans certificate as part of my certification last
June when my plane got it's airworthiness certificate. But have never been
through an annual inspection before. My question is, what should be the
process for the inspection? What needs to be checked on engine, avionics,
airframe, etc.? And what would be the appropriate entries in the aircraft and
engine logs? I read through part 91.14 of the FAR's but that is more general
and left me somewhat confused as to procedure? Are there other portions of the
FAR's that are appropriate? Any guidance would be appreciated, and maybe I
will know then what questions I need to ask next. I would ask my tech
counselor, but he is out of the country for a few days (trying to work a real
job just when you need him).

Almost finished with the rebuild. Finishing the last control connections,
adding cotter pins & safety wires, add coolant & oil, and a light once over on
the cowl with rubbing compound before I put the new Betty Boop decals on. I
Plan on installing the cowl tomorrow and do weight and balance. Then weather
cooperating I will be able to pull it out to do engine run ups and final tweak
of prop pitch. Back in the air real soon!

Phil you might want to order a set of 601XL plans from ZAC. It is my understanding
it is the next evolution of the 601. I've been scratch-building one for
two years and have found it to be a great experience so far. I was able to fly
the 601XL factory demonstrator and was impressed with it.
Good Luck,

Phil,
The drawings for the forward opening canopy are avaiable on the zenith
website in the builders area. For the other points I suggest you contact
the PFA. I remember a long time ago reading a report that the PFA were
requiring the enlarged tailplane to correct a perceived pitch instability.
The extended nose was an idea put forward by a Mr Cousins/Cousens also in
the UK. I think his motivation was that it would improve the CG location
with the 912 with wing tanks only. I wasn't able to find any more info when
I looked, but if you dig something up I'd love to get an inch or two more
leg room!.

Mike,
The annual inspection is described in FAR 2005, Appendix D of Part 43
Scope and Detail of Items
to be inspected. Just got started with my first annual yesterday. I
wrote up an outline using Part 43
and am adding specific criteria as applies to the plane, so that I
won't miss anything on the next one.
Keep a copy of this inspection and place a label in your aircraft log.
Your label should say that "This aircraft NXXX has been inspected for
annual or 100-hours of operation
by repairman Certificate # and name to satisfy Appendix D, Part 43, FAR
2005 and is found safe for resumption of flight.
Need a place for your signature and a date.
That should do it.
Good luck,

Thanks for the replies. I missed part 43 of the FAR's, but now that I've read it
things are a lot clearer. Due to a couple of repairs that I made to the fuselage
It looks like I will need to fill out FAA form 337 though. Will call the local
FSDO to verify tomorrow and suspect that the form ought to be available at a local
maintenance facility. Will sit down and work up a check list from appendix D.
Sounded like a real good idea and will add to it as I go along. Thanks again guys.
Weather looks to be a little crappy around here for the next few days, so this
will give me time to do a thorough inspection (and paper work) without feeling
rushed to get it in the air. Although after being grounded for seven months I am
getting a little antsy to get back in the air.

Phil,
As has been noted by a previous post there are plans for the forward
tilt canopy on the Zenith web site. I used these to construct mine. Be
careful though many of the dimensions must be modified for the 601HD and
also some of the dimensions appear to have been deliberately made wrong,
thing like a stack of dimensions don't add up to the total. Still it
gave me all I needed to make the entire assembly.

There aren't any 337 for experimentals. 337 is one method to change or
modify an CERTIFICATED airplane. Yours doesn't have a certificate. That is
why your "annual" is called a conditional inspection not an annual. Your is
a non-conforming aircraft and thus you don't have to maintain it to a
certain set of specs.
If you have any further questions. call Joe Norris at EAA. It is part of

Hmm, I read once not to use pencils to mark aluminum since the graphite
in pencil lead is corrosive to it.
Can't say I researched it however.
I suppose the grease would tend to insulate the graphite from the
aluminum anyways.

Thanks Cy
This part of the project just got simplier. And cleared up a couple of questions
I had about to interpret part 43. I was going to ask our local FAA guy about how
much of this actually applied to experimental aircraft. Luckily I have a good
relationship with our local FAA people so when I have a question along these
lines it is real easy to give someone a call. But I do hate to be a pain
sometimes, and weekends are a little hard to get ahold of someone at times. Just
trying to keep it all above board, especially since where I had the accident was
on the private strip of the DAR that signed off my plane. A FAA rep was the
first person on the scene, as a matter of fact he was mowing around the edges at
the time it happened. Think I will just continue on like I know what I'm doing
and looks like I should make Oshkosh this year after all.

Brian,
We also put together a simple bracket and bolted it onto the holes you are
talking about. the engine balances nicely. Like everything else on the
engine, the bolts are metric. I forgot that part of it and took two trip to Home
Depot.

Read part 43.1 (b).
Part 43 is a good guide for your annual condition inspection but none of
part 43 is mandatory.
