Peter,
I was in Mexico, MO at the Zenith factory last week. Roger Dubbert told me
they have a 3 month waiting list from order date to ship date for the 701.
So it seems to me that with their current setup and size, that is not going
to improve.
Hope this helps,
Tommy Walker in Alabama\

Jeff,
I'm 6.1 and 205 lbs (how did I gain that much weight?) I rode in the
factory demo last week and had more room than I did in the Cessna 175 I used
to own. It's a little awkward getting in, but that's because of my
advancing age. Roger Dubbert is about 6.2 or 6.3 and probably weighs 125
lbs (just kidding, but he is thin). Enjoyed the ride very much. Got to
make a few turns, straight and level, stalls, etc. This was my second ride
and made me want to get my plane finished. Maybe now that the heatwave has
passed in the southeast, I can get cracking....
If at all possible, get a ride in a 701. Where are you located?

Has anybody experienced different performance numbers than the one's
ZAC has listed for the 912 or 912S on the 701? There does not seem to
be much difference in the performance numbers they list for the two.
Thanks,
Joe in NC

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Lance Gingell" <lgingell@matrix-logic.com>
List,
I did my weight and balance just the other day, and I thought I'd post
it for interested parties and the archive (hello archive readers in the
future).
My Zodiac XL has a Jabiru 3300 with cabin heat option, dual throttles.
Interior mating surfaces primed with SEM and Marhyde self etch primer.
Dynon D10A, EIS, Garmin 296, couple of steam gauges. Center stick.
Skyshops seats.
Weighed on 3 scales from Target ($5.99 each!). I weighed with each scale
on each wheel. one was about 6lbs off, so moving the scales around
allowed me to work out the real weight.
Wheel/Datum measurements: Lr 753mm, Ll 753mm, Ln 525mm (as indicated on
the Zenith W&B PDF file)
Empty weight 712lbs, CG 264.8mm
Cheers,
..lance

Lance, that's really great ! You got any paint on that plane ? You should
have a real barn burner at that weight. I asked Roger @ ZAC and he said the
prototype XL weighed 730 so you must be a wizard at keeping the weight down. How
does she fly and what kind of performance numbers can you report? Best regards,
Bill

Thanks Randy and Jeffery. I am considering the Warp drive prop. My 601 would
indicate 105 but that was at 3500 rpm! At 3000 about 95. Take off is
impressive. My son is a student pilot (220) and I weigh 210 lbs so when I
found this "0" time 235 I just could not resist. I will sorely miss the
miserly fuel burn on the Revmaster. I am sure it will make some sport pilot
a happy flyer.
CUL,
John

G'Day Listers,
Some time long ago there was a write up on Tilersons full span flaperons
on his Tailwind, would there be anyone out there that still had the Sport
Aviation Magazine of April 1966 that the write up was in, & if so, could
this kind person Please copy & e-mail the flaperon write up to me.
My Dear Wife sent all my Sport Aviation copies to the book exchange,
What did you want them for she said, some were over 40 years old.
Thanks in Advance
Ron Saarinen sales@steelframe.com.au
