Robert the seat depth can be adjusted using foam and there should be
more then enough room to accommodate your height, you may just need 2"
of high density foam to help you out, I'm 5 10 and have about 6" under
my butt. As for rudder pedals the XL has more room and the location of
the pedals can be adjusted to suit the pilot. I have heard of others
that are your height not having any problems in the 601.

Maybe a bit late for the list, but...
I was down there today (Friday). The Zenith factory has a small
booth in the LSA area. There's a 701 on display. Apparently their
601XL got stuck in SoCal somehow, but they found one that a
builder had flown in and it's on display as well. According to
the schedule Zenith is doing a 1-hour forum on their planes
at 10:00AM, and a 2-hour metal building workshop at 2:00PM (both
Saturday).
Now on to a mostly unrelated question: I was happy to see Zenith
there, but disappointed that the factory 601XL was not present.
The reason: I'm a long 6'6", and was hoping I could sit
in the XL to see if it would fit. (Because the XL there
isn't owned by the company and the owner wasn't around, the factory
guys were understandably reluctant to let folks sit in it.)
However, the factory guys did say the accumulated wisdom on this
list was impressive and that I should ask here. Soooo.....any
really tall guys here, and if so, how's the legroom and headroom?
And, what adjustment range is there for the rudder pedals? (Looking
at the scale drawings I'm presuming the seat back is fixed and
non-moveable.) Thanks.

Rich or Bob ? The zac rudder pedals have a tall guy option meaning you can
push them forward a ways. Not have plans in hand so I can't say exactly how far.
I chose the normal setting for my 68 inches. My buddy Roy, at 6,4, fits
inside and has good pedal action even at the normal settings, FWIW, Bill

Robert,
Aside from cushion depth on the seat, there's also some allowance for
placement of the seat back
a distance rearward of up to something like 3" with modification of the
baggage shelf, etc. This would help quite a lot.
At 6'-6" you should consult with the factory on these points.

Does anyone have an installation manual for a Telex pc-4 intercom, I
have the unit but need to have wiring info in which to install it.
Thanks

Malcolm,
The Zenith folks at Sun 'n Fun said that changes were for LSA production- to
facilitate factory production, and generally not for safety. But, it is always
best to hear direct from the source, so I agree that an official description
of the changes and the implications for those of us with builds underway would
be helpful. I started about 2 years ago with kit components and am a s l
o w builder so have some concern about compatibility of future sections I buy.
I'm going to have to retire to get this done with any alacrity.

Subject: Updated Drawings
Zenith Fans!
I have just been on the Zenith website and downloaded the April 2005 drawing
updates.
I'm amazed at the level of change with fuselage skins going from .016" to
025"
and some major changes to the empennage. Why are these changes being made
(E-SLA,
S-LSA certification)? or are 2005 model year? I can accept that there is
product development but think we should have some clarification from Zenith
as
I'm uncertain if changes are for safety or just design progression.
Whilst I could get a new set of drawings for $75 (about $110 to get them
to England)
what a waste of redundant material. If only minor changes are made then
it is easy to amend you drawings but in this instance drawings have been
redrawn
with additional parts detailed, in this case Zenith should post these (say
in pdf) on the builders website, rather than sell you a new set of drawings
I'm somewhat confused where to go next!! Can anyone help?

Larry,
I feel your slow pain, but as the Greek philosopher Sextus Empiricus once
said, "The mills of the Gods are slow, but they grind exceedingly fine."

Hi Mark,
Don't know if you still need these installation pix but we finally got a
break in the 6 days of rain we have had and I shot these today.
Hopefully they will better identify where I put the probe on the wing.

I have written Johann off list and requested if he could make an attachment
similar to his for my project. He said he will ask his machinist if he could
make more, is anyone else interested. This would be for a friction lock
throttle with a cable.
