John,
I've been very fortunate. My wife loves to fly- going places is the good
part for her. She's taken the AOPA pinch-hitters course a couple of times
and that seems to have help a bunch. I also got her gradually involved in
the build by asking for help, first with double checking drawings and math,
then with assembly and stuff like deburring parts. She's now toughest rivet
inspector you'll ever meet. She's much more comfortable now that she's
involved in the build, and has a say in the QC of the project.
Oh, and I have a PA-22-135/150 Tri-pacer. Not ugly. Homely maybe, but
not ugly. It'll outrun a Continental powered 172 and is a great short
field/grass plane. You're right about the cost, though. That's why my
Zodie will eventually replace the T-pacer. Just had a $2500 annual
inspection- but that's another story for another list.

I agree that it's a safe plane. The problem has been convincing my
wife
that it is safe. The word "Experimental" on the side makes her very
nervous. She is nervous enough when it doesn't say experimental. I
don't even have my license yet and I have a fairly limited budget. I
almost bought a Piper Colt but then started looking at the operating
and
maintenance costs. With 8gph plus maintenance plus fabric...it aint
cheap. I'm also betting my life on 60 year old technology and a 55
year
old airframe. I'm a big guy and don't fit very well in it. And the
biggest thing is that it's ugly!! The 601 has nice sleek lines. It
will
cost a little more money than a Colt and it will take time. But I
like
building things. The satisfaction I would get from flying a plane I
built would be incredible. If I could just get my wife to see that.
She is reluctantly on board at this point but she rolls her eyes a lot
and says "why do you have to get an experimental plane?" My birthday
is
tomorrow and she has agreed to send me to the builder's clinic at the
Zenith factory in January. How did you guys get your wives completely

Mine will not go in the Zodiac at any price - probably because it is a home
built and we ran into serious problems with faulty engine mount brackets on
it last year. I think she wonders what else may be lurking as yet
undiscovered. She does not really like me flying it either.
On the other hand, I also have an R22 helicopter and she will fly with me in
that quite happily.

John,
The first thing you need to do is take her to the class with you. They will
be happy to give her a demo ride as well. If she isn't on board after that
you might want to reconsider building.

John . . . I took my wife to a rudder workshop about 4 years ago - a very
positive experience. I expected a lecture (by ZAC staffe) on construction
techniques or something first, but they throw you right into construction.
She later bragged about how she was riveting an airplane. Try Porkys for
lunch or dinner - not fancy, but absolutely great ribs and pulled pork.
Nancy is so much behind the plane project that she insisted we build a
hanger on our farm property before the house. Now there's a keeper! Robert

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Tony Bonsell" <tbonsell@luxuria.com>
Hi Guys!
I'm in Canada, building a 701 from kits. Still waffling about engine choice.
Got my wings done, control surfaces, rudder, elevator, 50% fuse. I had been
planning to register it as an Advanced Ultralight, but the recent Kitfox
bankruptcy and its ramifications for Advanced owners got me thinking. Along
with the other restrictions, is Advanced really the way to go? And are the
advantages of being a Homebuilt worth having to peel my wings and surfaces
for inspections? Can I switch at all?
Anybody have any advice?

Tony, the folks at the RAA are getting a little uptight about
"advanced ultralights" so you will want to weigh this.
If you go advanced be sure to keep everything legal as per Zenith
requirements. You will gain the ability to carry a passenger and
still do your own maintenance without the hassles of annual
inspections and such.
Homebuilt requires inspections and some feel the planes are "better"
because of this. Also, factor in resale price. Advanced and homebuilt
will construe a better resale down the line.

I just got off of the phone with Nick H. at Zenith. I am ready to
install my fuel tanks. I purchased the long range option, so I have
4 tanks. The instructions have the fuel sender for the main tanks
installed on the inboard side of the main tanks and the auxiliary
tanks have their senders mounted on the top of the tank. I asked
Nick if I can just mount the sender on the side of the outboard (aux)
tank just like the main. The short of it is that he said I can mount
the fuel level sender anywhere I like. But he said that the sender
on the aux tanks are optional, I don't need to have them at
all. This does have some appeal as it simplifies the installation.
He suggested that if I don't have a fuel gauge for the aux tanks,
that I take off on the mains, then switch to the aux tanks to use
whatever fuel I had planned (using time to determine gallons), then
switch back to the mains.
Is anyone using the aux tanks with no fuel senders and is it working
OK for you?
-- Another topic
I asked Nick about inspection plates. I want to be able to change
the fuel lines and senders without skinning the wing. I asked if the
plates needed to be considered a structural part of the wing. He
said "yes they need to be considered a part of the structure". He
went on to say that they needed to use nut plates and have enough
screws so that it was just as strong as the original, uncut, skin
(40mm spacing). I asked specifically about the use of plastic covers
(mentioned on this list before), and I was told that they are for
fabric planes with internal structure, not for metal planes where the
strength of the plane is dependent on the skin.

Has anyone found a cheap way to print the photo assembly guide, in color,
from the CD? I checked with Kinko's, and they would charge anywhere from
$.49 to $.89 a page, which would get pretty expensive. I could print in
black and white, but I think color lends more clarity to each step.

Hello fortunate flyers,
After searching the archives I am still unclear. Is there a position for
the static ports on a 701 that has been shown to be ?accurate?, or at
least stable, especially at slow speeds? I have seen some references to
using A5 rivets with their stems removed. Does that work or should I use
store-bought ports?
Thanks

Black & white should be about 1/10 the cost. Will you loose much, not
having color?
Some people set up a cheap computer in their workshops for viewing
photos, web surfing, checking the latest Matronics chatter, etc.
Wireless networking cards have really come down in price.

I opted for black and white 2-sided printing on my PC with low end
laser printer (HP 1012).
This is not as nice as color printouts, but the price is only the
cost of some normal paper. You could probably buy one of these
printers for the same price as your quote from Kinko's.
On those occasions when you really want to see the color version of
the pictures you can always look at them on your PC monitor. This is
also a reasonable way to review each "Chapter" before actually
building the parts in your shop.
Good luck,
Paul

In the past I have used wireless on my laptop and connected to ZAC website
to view their color pics, I stayed connected to their site for as long as I
worked on my plane. It worked great, good resolution, much easier to see
than the black and white photos they sent me.

| Subject: | Paint removal, aircraft stripper |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: William Jeffries <vair601@yahoo.com>
Hello Listers,
I have a 1974 Grumman Traveler that I'm restoring. I have found that modern day
aircraft strippers have been weakened due to EPA requirements and they have
not been very effective in removing the 30 year old paint. I haven't worked as
an A&P for ten years now but I am starting to get back into the business. If
there are any better ideas out there I'd sure like to here about them. I realize
that this is off subject a bit as many of you a planing to shoot paint not
strip it at this time. I do feel however that this could still be as useful
discussion none the less.
Thank you in advance, Bill Jeffries.

I've just printed them out on my home computer. I refill the ink cartridge in
my printer so it wasn't that bad. Just took time.
I also have an old computer in my shop but still found that the printed pages
are much more useful and you have the ability to make notes on the paper.
