On the original wiring question:
Adding to the advice already posted.... you can find
suggested wiring diagrams, including tail-mounted
batteries, at Bob Nuckolls' Aeroelectric site (along with
plenty of other valuable information). Download "Latest
Appendix Z Diagrams" at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles.html
I believe it's preferred to run 2 wires, rather than using
the airframe as main grounding. Magnetism not an issue.
Eric Jones sells lightweight cables, rather pricey, but
saves weight on long runs. See:
http://www.periheliondesign.com/fatwires.htm
On the GPS:
I suspect all modern GPS units are capable of displaying
true OR magnetic headings. Even my cheapo $99 Magellan
does it. Craig, on the 296, it looks like it's under
MainMenu--Setup--Location. You can choose between true and
magnetic, using either auto- or user- entered variation.
Comes in handy for runway headings and ATC course
assignments.
And the mag compass -- yes, obsolete, but required on all
aircraft (makes a nice hood ornament)

Victor,
I'm waiting to get my fuse back from painting, then I'll be mounting the engine and completing the wiring as well. Someone previously suggested a firewall bulkhead feedthrough (http://store.summitracing.com/)for power, I think that's the way to go. I'll be running four gauge battery cables + & - along the right upper longeron to the firewall. Then through the firewall with a bulkhead feedthru for power (to the starter/solenoid)and using a non-insulated bolt for the ground feedthru (with a length of cable to the engine). I will run cable on the passenger side of the feedthru to the power buss. I will probably mount a ground buss at the ground bolt for the panel. Grounding anywhere on an aluminum plane isn't a problem, except that the potential for corrosion exists due to electrolysis. All exterior lighting and fuel pumps will be grounded to the frame. I will send some photo's when I get the cables run. How did you route your battery cable(s)?
Craig S.
N601XS, 601xl lyc 0-235 airframe complete, wiring/FWF this winter
I've started wiring, so far have battery cable run to
rear fuselage area. Using Sky Tec starter with built
in solenoid.
Where is best place to feed Panel, since Sky Tec shows
cable from battery going directly to starter? Any
advice on how to wire using 0235 Lyc. would be
appreciated.

Hey Folks,
I've been operating my Rotax 912UL for 500hrs (9years) and monitor all the
Mods.. I suggest that it's OK to buy a used 912 but I would only buy one
that has been operated for any lenght of time from reputable people like the
Rotax repair facilities such as Lockwood after they have gone through it.
There have been some real show stoppers as far as Service Bulletins are
concerned. I was lucky in that the stator SB was the only big one that
caught me and Rotaz paid for that. I did the labor which took less than two
hours. The engine has been pretty dependable.

Carlos-
Yeah, but all of a sudden realizing you have to apply what you've
learned to build a Zenith is a real shock. We must be about the same age,
because I finished the academic course 30 years ago. I got my latest
practical degree last night, from the School of Hard Knocks, Downstairs.

One might argue the the magnetic compass is obsolete (I don't) but you
certainly are not going to get any plane legally flying without it.

Guys and Gals,
I'm about to fit the Front Top Skin but the cutout for the Cabin Frame Front
Tubes is causing me some grief. Am I over thinking this? Either I over-looked
it or the plans aren't much help. I can see the same thing coming up for the
Top Cover Plate although the plans depict it pretty well.
Not much in the archives...
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Listers, has anyone received a nose wheel from Zenith lately? I have the
bearings missing from my kit delivered mid October. Have gotten reply
from Zenith that this takes a sealed roller bearing and to contact Matco
for what they look like. My wheel has races pressed in for a tapered
roller bearing. What is currently being supplied by Zenith, sealed
roller or tapered roller bearings? I need to go further with Zenith on
this as they supplied the kit minus the bearings and I didn't buy this
kit from Matco. Thanks

--> Zenith-List message posted by: Mike Fortunato <rsq2424@yahoo.com>
Now that I made the change from a Corvair to a Jabiru for my 601XL, I have a few
parts to sell. Everything has never been used, and I still have the original
boxes for the ignition parts:
Corvair Motor Mount (made by William Wynn) $400.00
MSD Coil Switch $25
(2) Bosch "Blue" coils (as recommended in WW's manual) $40 (both)
WW Manual $25 (I believe it's the 2002 version, but not sure. Selling the original
-- NOT a copy)
Prices above do not include shipping costs from Southern California. The mount
alone at WW's site is $639, so this is a pretty good deal if you're planning
on installing a Vair. Contact me off list if interested, and I do have pictures
of everything. Also, I'm not a member of the Corvair email list anymore, so
if someone could forward this post over there, that would be much appreciated.

I'm looking for some extruded angle. Zenith drwgs describe it as 3/4x3/4x
.093"
I can't get the .093" to compute. Is there a decimal or fractional
equivelent? I found 1/8th but nothing that is close to that number.

B'god you're right, page 114 in the 296's manual. The earth's magnetic field
isn't exactly uniform so they need some sort of low-resolution "map". Since
mine is the "North American" model I wonder if this works anywhere in the
world. I'll still bet that the FAA won't let this replace a real magnetic
compass. This part of the "tomatoflames" mnemonic:
T - Tachometer
O - Oil pressure gauge
M - Manifold pressure gauge
A - Altimeter
T - Temperature gauge for each liquid cooled engine
O - Oil temperature gauge
F - Fuel gauge
L - Landing gear position indicator
A - Airspeed indicator
M - Magnetic direction indicator (compass)
E - ELT
S - Seatbelts

Tommy this comes up every couple months and is in the archives at length but
the short version is that the 093 is a custom extrusion for Zenith,1/8" is approved
by them as a substitute, additional weight is about 4# and Chris says no
strength is gained by using the thicker material(weak link somewhere else I guess).

I used the 1/8" material everywhere it called for
.093". If you do this, be sure you eliminate the
bottom longeron splice (use a single, long piece on
each side). You can get the 1/8" X 3/4 X 3/4 in
twenty-foot lengths.

Matco is a great company to deal with. Just give them

before ZAC started using them.

Tommy, if you search the archives, I believe you'll find that the 0.125" angle
is a suitable substitute.
The 0.092" variety is not normally "foundable". Somebody in this list said (or
speculated) it is custom produced for ZAC.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Craig Payne" <craig@craigandjean.com>
I'm at a small airfield (3SQ) outside of St. Louis finishing (God willing)
my Sport Pilot License. There is a handbill posted for a 601XL for sale. I
know almost nothing about the plane and nothing about the owner. Here are
the key facts:
N609WA
601XL finished in 2002. 114 hours on the plane and Rotax 912S engine. Zero
hours on the prop. Annual: Dec 2004.
Instruments and avionics:
Microair M760 transceiver
EFIS-D10A electric attitude indicator (Dynon I guess)
T2000SFL transponder w/AK encoder
Garmin 196 GPS w/mount
DG02E-3 electric directional gyro
Options:
Strobes
Exterior and interior: blue and white, like new.
"This airplane was built new in 2002 and was recently involved in a taxi
incident which prompted the owner to put the plane up for sale"
Sale price $57,900
Call Dennis Bampton
1-800-447-6066
Craig again: I asked around the airport for the story on this plane and was
told that it had been taxied into a ditch twice. That's why the prop has
zero hours on it. I think Dennis is an owner of St. Charles Flying Service
(the FBO at the field - www.stcharlesflyingsvs.com) and *not* the owner of
the plane. The 800 number is for the FBO. That's it, that's all I know. I've
never seen the plane and don't know the owner. Call Dennis for more
information. All I can say in closing is that everyone I have meet at St.
Charles Flying Service is friendly and helpful.

I just followed the layout on the drawing, it worked well for the top skin.
It takes some twisting and contortion to get the skin in place. I wound up
making two top cover plates because I didn't like the way the first one came out.
It wasn't too bad. The top cover plate covers any small oops that you may do
on the skin. Take your time and it will go well. You might consider making a
cardboard template if you have any doubts.

Make a fake one of cardboard first, to get it fit, then use as a patern to cut
the "good" one.

Guys and Gals,
I'm about to fit the Front Top Skin but the cutout for the Cabin Frame Front Tubes
is causing me some grief. Am I over thinking this? Either I over-looked it
or the plans aren't much help. I can see the same thing coming up for the Top
Cover Plate although the plans depict it pretty well.
Not much in the archives...
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You will find a lot of cardboard skins on my 701 as I attempted the first
try with the aluminum, and then used it as a pattern with cardboard to
improve the fit. The cardboard came out much better and that's what I went
with!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
