Thanks Jim....
As you may remember, I was going to visit him and you last December while I
was in Phoenix. I was just curious after I found his web site down. Hal
seems to be a very nice guy and I'm sorry to hear about his health problems.
Thanks and do not archive

> I have some new information; I spoke with his wife Jackie last night. Hal
has had some serious health challenges including two types of influenzas,
Valley Fever, and other complications. He is still in the hospital but happy
to report, he is recovering (just go out of another 3 weeks in the ICU).
Under the circumstances, he asked Jackie to sell his project, which she
recently did, to a local person who plans to have it flying in 3 months. He
will take Hal flying when hes better. Hal said the most important thing
about building the 701 was not the airplane itself but the friends he met
along the way. Do Not Archive

i am interested in building my own floats for my 701 when it is finished.
So would need keel strips.
What plans or kit do you have for building the floats.
I would like to hear from anyone building floats or has building plans.

Dave, consider this. What if you build with wood and spirit level and when your
done the plane doesn't all fit together ? What did you save ? Some things should
be the very best possible even (especially) on a home made airplane. I recommend
you go steel and digital level if you want no surprises, FWIW, Bill

Many airplanes have been built on wood beams and tables. Wood is fairly
stable if you don't take several heating and cooling seasons to build. But
even then I don't think it will make much difference.

Although I am no where near that stage, I would love to have floats
evntually on my 601XL. I had heard, though, that despite the pictures of
601s on floats, it was inadvisable. If anyone can comment on whether it is
reasonable to put a 601XL on floats, I would be happy to learn more about
getting the keel strip.

Dave,
Try the 2-inch aluminum square tube in the hardware section of Lowe's or
Farm and Fleet stores.
This stuff is dimensionally good and not terribly expensive.

Is there any way I can purchase a CD that contains emails that going back to

Dave, people have used everything from PVC pipes to straight wooden 2x2's, and
most everything in between. The idea is to have some sort of "true" plane for
a reference as you build the wing. The only real use for something laying on the
table and under the wing, as far as I can see, is to keep the clecos from causing
damage to the skin as you work.

I have a question regarding the steel support beams for building the 601 XL.
I purchased two 4' X 2" X 2" steel beams like we used in the workshop for
the rudder, thinking that was all I would need. But when I looked ahead in
the photo assembly guide, I noticed that they specify six 5' X 2" X 2" beams
for building the wings. I can get these at a sheet metal shop, but it would
cost me at least $70. For those of you who are building or have completed a
601 XL - should I just suck it up and spend the money to get them? Are they
necessary for properly jigging the components? Or are there other cheaper

If you look here: http://www.matronics.com/archives/ you can see which lists
have a downloadable archive file.
If you look at the bottom of this page: http://www.matronics.com/ you can
see how to order a CD. I'm not sure how up-to-date it is but Matt (who is
Matronics) can tell you.
If you don't have a high-speed connection and if it won't bother Matt I can
download what you want, burn it onto a CD and mail it to you.

Les- I'd suggest that you just start with the e-mails from here on. as you
bulild, and have a question or problem, send it out and you will have
several suggestions in a few hours. If you want to research a problem, you
can check the archives at that time. I get about an average of 35 e-mails
per day from guys on the zenith list, most of which don't directly affect me
but do someone. I have been hanging around over 4 years on the list, so do
the math. thats a lot of e-mail to read. Spend that time on building your
701, instead of reading e-mail. FWIW

To really get the story straight, I asked 3M about ScotchBrite, their
answer:
The green Scotchbrite (#74)contains approximately aluminum oxide mineral
(220x to 320x) that is resin bonded to the nylon fibers. It will cut most
surfaces including aluminum.
Other Scotchbrite
S ULF, S VLF and S MED use silicon carbide, the others use aluminum oxide.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Johann G." <johann@rafpostur.is>
Hello list members.
I am sending this again, because I think it did not go through the first time.
I have been working on a way to fuel my Zenith 701 with an easy method.
The old method to syphon the fuel from a plastic container while standing
on a ladder is not the best method.
The idea was to use a high volume electric pump with a fuel filter and a
toggle switch to turn on and off.
I would like to hear from you list members how you have solved this
fueling problem and if anyone is using an electrical fuel pump for this,
what kind and how powerful is the pump, i.e. how many GPH capability?
Thank you in advance.

Johann . . . go to a local farm equitment supply house or ask a farmer for
some mailorder sources for farm equipment - most offer pumps which fit
various containers and run off 12v. They also have hand pumps. One supply
house is Tractor Supply Co. www.TSCstore.com. Let us know what you end up
with because a lot of us older folks really don't relish the thought of
lifting 5 gallon cans. I didn't even like climbing up to visually check the
fuel in a Cessna and bought a low wing Piper for that reason (among others).

Just be careful, while some pumps are suitable for diesel fuel they are
not necessarily good for gasolene...Basically flammable liquids needs to
be pumped with an explosion proof motors. The farm supply houses sell
these too but the ones I have seen are more expensive.
Beware the pickup truck mounted tank that gets left out in the
rain...Had one friend who had a narrow escape...found two gallons of
water in his header tank...His engine quit while taxiing...Thankfully!

fit various containers and run off 12v. They also have hand pumps. One
supply
house is Tractor Supply Co. www.TSCstore.com. Let us know what you end
up
with because a lot of us older folks really don't relish the thought of
lifting 5 gallon cans. I didn't even like climbing up to visually check
the fuel in a Cessna and bought a low wing Piper for that reason (among
others).

I don't like the electrical fueling systems that I've seen. Don't
like gas and electricity together.
There is a slick but expensive system using CO2 to add low pressure
to a fuel pumping system. There are a couple of advantages to the
system. There is no spark introduced by a pump motor, and the CO2
provides natural explosion resistance to the container holding the
gas.
Check them out here:
http://wefuelfun.com/index.php?cid=17
I saw them cheaper at the last boat I attended than on this site
I think it was around $300 for the 16 gallon, and $400
for the 30 gallon. I would not be as edgy storing a tank if I knew
it had CO2 instead of air in the top space of the can.
It would probably take about 10 fill ups to pay for the system. They
were pumping water with it at the boat show to demo it, and it pumped
pretty fast. When you're done you turn off the CO2 and vent the pressure
from the tank.

Hello list members.
I am sending this again, because I think it did not go through the first
time.
I have been working on a way to fuel my Zenith 701 with an easy method.
The old method to syphon the fuel from a plastic container while standing
on a ladder is not the best method.
The idea was to use a high volume electric pump with a fuel filter and a
toggle switch to turn on and off.
I would like to hear from you list members how you have solved this
fueling problem and if anyone is using an electrical fuel pump for this,
what kind and how powerful is the pump, i.e. how many GPH capability?
Thank you in advance.
Johann G.

Dave-
In just about every instance, you're only contacting the building
surface in two places. I use fairly true 4x4s, and if you look through the
logs of a lot of listers who have completed their projects, they did too.
You can always level the contact points. What you can't get is the
access to your clecos if you use something shorter. You'll find that access
to your clecos is worth it's weight in gold.

An electric vehicle fuel pump with good hoses, switches and such can be used
to make a very efficient fuel pump for moving fuel from a storage tank to
the airplane tank. I find that Portorable Boat Fuel Tanks work better than
regular plastic or metal fuel tanks. Easy to carry, store with a good amount
of stability, easy to hook hose's to, etc. You can make a very good and safe
system for very little money.

Hello Johann,
If you go to www.canadiantire.ca and enter "Flo N' Go Home Filling
Station" or "Flo N' Go Gas Pump" in the search bar, I think that both
of these products may be along the same line of what you are looking
for. I remember them from a commercial that I saw about a year ago.
The web site may ask you for a postal code, you can use mine if you
like T9K 2T4. I'm not exactly sure how their delivery system works but
if I can help let me know. My friend Andre and I are also building a
ch701.
