Dear Lister,
Please read over the Zenith-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Zenith-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:

Thank you,

******************************************************************************
Zenith-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Zenith-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Zenith-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Zenith-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Zenith-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

I can't comment on the Olfa cutter, although I have scored and broke a lot
of galvanized sheet iron with a similar method and it works well.
I too like the Malco snips (purchased in the vinyl siding dept of Lowes)
for the long alum sheet cuts, up to and including .040 I have Model MG12N
which is the 12 inch. But like Brett feel the 14 inch would be better.
For the rest I highly recommend the deep offset PROSNIPS model 20SL (Red
handles if your right handed) as mentioned earlier, they are a LOT better
snip than the Wies brand The PROSNIPS don't have the serated edges that
leave marks on the alum and have to be filed or sanded out. Neither do
the Malco strait snips.

Fellow builders:
Wanted to inform our community that HomebuiltHELP has just completed a DVD video
entitled: Weight & Balance for Homebuilts.
In keeping with our tradition - a Zenith 601 worksheet was used for the demonstration
of finding the CG and filling out the form required for inspection purposes!
I'll leave it at that and more information is available at: http://homebuilthelp.com/W&B.htm
Thanks to all and back to building now.

I stumbled across this on the GAMA site today. It has a lot of good
information regarding cockpit standardization for light aircraft equipped
with glass cockpits.
Not all will be applicable to homebuilts, and not all of the current
equipment used in homebuilts meets the standard, but it does provide some
good thinking points...

Jon, THANKS !!! Over the years, a W&B is one of the most requested
seminars for the RAA and it is amazing how many do not have a firm grasp
on how to actually complete one properly. In addition, with the
difficulty of understanding comes the neglect of doing a proper W&B. I
do one in my annual schedule just to be sure; nothing has changed in the
last year.
Jon, your DVD's over the last couple of years have helped A LOT of
people this one I bet will prove to be your best seller.
Thanks A lot for doing this and put me down for one!!

--> Zenith-List message posted by: Tebenkof@aol.com
I know this has been discussed, but I don't recall a final outcome. Maybe
that is because this list so seldom limits itself to one final opinion on
anything.
The ZAC supplied wheels (Matco) and tires have been on my 701 now for a
year. Just sitting in the garage it has been necessary to add air several times.
Has anyone managed to have the "tubeless tires" supplied with the 701
actually hold air without an inner tube? And if you do go with a tube, is there
a
trick to getting one to fit the Matco wheel?
Thanks yet again, list.

ZAC gave me tubes with the tires for my 701. Had to be careful not to pinch
them, don't remember how, but it can be done. Been on for 3 years, lose
very little air. I have 10 psi in the mains and 5 psi in the nose tire,
smoothes out the bumps in my runway.

| Subject: | Handheld radio for sale |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: Trevor Page <webmaster@upac.ca>
Listers, I have decided to upgrade to a panel COM radio so I'm
putting up my handheld radio up for sale.
It's a Vertex Spirit VXA-700. Has aviation NAV-COM, amateur radio
band, FM band and WX. Really small!!
You can get more details from their website here:
http://www.vertexstandard.com/indexVS.cfm?
cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=204&ProdID=18&DivisionID=2
I bought the radio late last year but I lost the whip antenna and the
charger died on me (I have a RAMI external antenna on my 601 and I
power it from the plane, so I don't miss those items) Otherwise it
works great. You can buy the missing items pretty cheap from any
Vertex/Yeasu dealer.
These sell for $400US on the street, first $230 takes it...
Contact me off-list @ tbpage at rogers dot com for more info. Thanks
