If you are interested in seeing it, seeing and hearing it fly you are welcome. If the weather clears this weekend I plan on flying both Sat & Sun. Fact is, if you are a Republican and a non-smoker you could stay with us when you come. Not sure about the distance from Charleston to Thomaston ?

I'm in Rayne, Louisiana (near Lafayette) and I will be visiting the Factory in Missiouri December 8th and 9th to finalize the decision on kit building a 601XL with the Jabiru 3300. Where in GA is Thomaston? Do you ever plan to fly west? If so, stop off at LeGros Memorial Airport (3R2) near Crowley, LA and I will be happy to take you in, if you too are a non-smoking Republican. Might even trade you a good supper for a ride.

You wouldn't think after waiting and building three years that flying off the time would be an effort, but it seems to be. Maybe before Christmas if weather and work cooperate. A very good friend of mine, CPT Ray Moody of Macon, died early this year, any kin ? As to Thomaston airport it is located about center state, maybe a little on the western side. Best to you, and maybe I can make that fly for grub trade sometime, Bill of Georgia ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:05:12 PM PST US From: Subject: Re: Re: Zenith-List: Projects or completions in SC? --> Zenith-List message posted by: Come on over Bill, You are welcome anytime. Give me a call or email when you anticipate the trip. We don't travel extensively but we do what we can when we can. I still practice dentistry full time with my son so I'm not a globe trotter yet. Captian Moody was probably a distant relative but I'm darned if I could tell you how. I never made his aquaintance but we generally all come from the same Irish imigrant ancestors who moved down from the Carolinas. Seven generations back, my great grandfather's great grandfather, Isaac Moody lived in Appling Co. Georgia from 1774 - 1858. His wife, Sarah was our connection to George Carter, one of Jimmy Carter's ancestors (not very proud of that but it wasn't my fault... I'm a bigger fan of Zell Miller). Ironically, I was also a captain (in the USAF) 1977 - 1980 but obviously did not stay on as a career officer. Hope to meet you soon.

Frank- Read my posting again. Better yet, break down, open the Construction Manual, turn to page 8, look at the pictures and read the note "The HEAD of the rivet will be marked by the dolly". I consider the matter over, and am going downstairs to do something "Constructive" with my time.....

I built one. Highly recommend it. I built my 701 spars and cabin sides with it. It needs a couple of simple modifications to build 701 spars to clear the alum angles which are different than the 601 spars. build one or buy one. I feared spars. The dimpler makes building them a simple strait forward 40 hr job. :-) Monty Graves At 08:44 PM 10/6/2005 -0400, you wrote: >--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Zodie Rocket" > >For $25.00 and about 2 hours work you can have you own Super duty Spar >Rivet smasher.

Aircraft Spruce also sells a 1.875-diameter, .250-wall, 4130- tube. This requires determination of which thickness was used for the struts. With the thicker .065-wall, something like .0055 would have to be removed on the diameter for it to fit properly within the tube. For the .058-wall, there would be .009-clearance between the 1.875-diameter tube and the strut inside-diameter, so it might have to be welded several places and filed to create a proper inside-fit. Using 3 segments of the strut tube, 4 segments of the sleeve tube and 3.5 square sections of the thicker plate adds about 3 lbs additional weight to the plane. P/n 03-10800 2-Dia x .065 wall 4130 tube at $5.82 per foot 2 ft P/n 03-10600 1-7/8-Dia x .250 wall 4130 at $2.10 per foot 2 ft P/n 03-25660 .190 thick 9 x 9 4130 plate at $23.95 per piece 1 pc Total cost for material for changing gear plate thickness, $40. plus shipping.
