I think the one Vans sells has something like 500 lb force? I'm not to sure
about that (maybe 200 lbs?). It has 5" travel in about 5 seconds.

I take it Zenith won't sell the one for the 601 XL unless you are
actually build one? What do 601 XL plans-builders do?

Hi Craig. I think Zenith would be happy to sell you a flap actuator - I could
be wrong but....just an impression. Mark Townsend and I have removed electric
seat motors from the seats of a Ford Explorer. Mark has more of the details.
The motors are hardly used, clean and very strong and the screws are great -
although only one has the requisite distance of travel. It was an easy adaptation
to use this motor/screw arrangement. For a flap position indicator, we
may use the Ray Allen system or you can buy a cheap float type fuel level sender
and guage, cut off the float and use the potentiometer and lever arm to track
flap actuator movement and then calibrate the guage with the actual flap positions.
We are looking at putting limit switches on either end of travel Not
what all scratchbuilders would do but it is one (very inexpensive) possibility.
One scratchbuilder's 2 cents.

Dear Thread Friends, please forgive the subject line as a come on to get you
to read and reply. I have been reading the thread for years as I built my XL
and unfortunately never really paid much attention to insurance questions and
answers. What did we ever finally decide was the best, cheapest, easiest
insurance carrier for un-flown XLs ? Again forgive the come on. I was in
Washington, DC some years ago and remember a street sign that said "LIVE NAKED
GIRLS"
as the come on. Wonder why they had to advertise that the girls were alive ?
Was there a market for looking at something other that naked girls who were
alive ? Anyway, anybody out there really happy with their insurance provider?
If I buy a policy I will put in to the agent that you recommended them and you
deserve a big, fat, discount on next year's premium! Hope to hear from
someone soon, Best Regards, Bill

AOPA...You don't have to be a member but I believe the insurance
carriers they deal with are now offering a discount if you belong to
AOPA.
Anyway, they seem to deal mainly with AIG. They seem to have been the
cheapest for me..Never had a claim though

--> Zenith-List message posted by: Gary Gower <ggower_99@yahoo.com>
Hello Friends,
Here in our Club, another friend is building a 701 Kit. His english is almost
nada, so he is not in the list.
He is finishing his fuselage so... He wants to install a conection for the static
side hose for the ALT and ASI instruments on the side of the fuselage like
in the Cessnas, we dont have one in neither of our 701's .
I know that is not needed, but he insist to install one.
Any experience or comment in the best position to install this conection?
Thank you all in advance
Saludos
Gary Gower.

Does anyone on the list have a flying 601XL with the Grove main gear leg
installed? If so, exactly what changes did you need to make to the
fuselage to accept the gear? I would appreciate it if you could contact me
off-list - I would like to understand the requirements before I commit to
ordering the Grove gear.
Thanks,

Gary,
I tried to install one like a Cessna has on the left side fuselage in
front of the door - it didn't work. The airspeed was much too high as
though the static port was being sucked on by the airstream. I'm now
putting one at the pitot tube location on the strut. I'l let you know how
that works out.

Me too. I'm planning to use the grove gear - the weight savings seems
particularly attractive. But which ZAC parts, which Grove parts, and/or alternative
parts, and what airframe modifications are desirable? I think there are
quite a few others seriously considering Grove gear too, so I would suggest any
replies would be welcome and appreciated by many ON list.

Hello Gary.
I am installing the L Pitot/Static tube from Aircraft Spruce P/N 15144.
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/unheatedptubes.php
It is installed in the right wing because I had finished the left wing
first when I made the decision. If you need pictures, please let me know
and I will send it to you. No picture of the installation on my web page,
sorry.
Best regards,

Gary... we haven't flown yet, but we followed a suggestion from the archives
and put a static port on each side of the fuselage about 18" (45 cm) back
from the door and about 12" (30 cm) up from the lower longeron. Hopefully,
these will be out of the propwash.
