I think I have something missing on the top end. Thank you very much. Bob Tichy ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim and Lucy Subject: Zenith-List: EA-81 MOTOR MOUNT --> Zenith-List message posted by: Jim and Lucy Hi Bob My friend has a reductions unit on his zodiac in my hangar. I could take some pics of the top view if it would help. His cowling opens at the top on hinges. It would not be so easy to get the rest of the cowl off especially since he is out of the country now.

He gives a pretty good drawing of the bed mount but not much on the dimensions to the firewall.

Subject: Re: Zenith-List: comm radio's --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Johann G." Hi John. My setup is a Microair radio but opted for a separate intercom from PM 1000. It is a good intercom, but the wireing is still a problem for me, because when I want to transmit to ATC, I need to turn off the intercom to make the PTT to work. It has not bothered me that much, have had other problems to solve (oil leak :-) ) but will try to solve that minor problem soon. Other than that, I am very happy with both equipment.

Started a wing for my 701 and was searching for a good support material when the wing gets turned over. Wood is ok but sometimes is hard to find six pieces forty inches long that are all straight. I had some 10 foot lengths of PVC down spout left over and found them to be a superior support. All the same size, straight and very light weight. I put two strips of double stick tape on one side and attached some scrap carpet to avoid scratching. I have noticed that the carpet is a magnet for aluminum filings so might not be the best choice of material, might have to change that. So far the building is going well. Should be done with right wing in a few days. Left wing should go faster as I have all the jigs made up and know what to expect. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

If so what do you think of them. And here is a long shot: does anyone have the seats and the dual sticks option? I'm wondering if the sticks clear the forward edge of the seats. -- Craig
