    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Tommy Walker" <twalker@cableone.net> 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 Tommy Walker in Alabama > 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

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Michael Valentine <mgvalentine@gmail.com> 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. Michael Valentine 601XL - Tail, flaps, ailerons complete.

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: <PAULROD36@msn.com> 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.

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Al Young" <armyret@one-eleven.net> 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.

    Subject: Fueling high wing aircraft.
    --> 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 G. Iceland.

    Subject: Re: Fueling high wing aircraft.
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Robert Schoenberger" <hrs1@frontiernet.net> 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).

    From: "Hinde, Frank George (Corvallis)" <frank.hinde@hp.com>
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Hinde, Frank George (Corvallis)" <frank.hinde@hp.com> 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!

They also have hand pumps. One supply house is Tractor Supply Co. www.TSCstore.com.

    Subject: Fueling high wing aircraft.
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Allen Ricks" <allenricks@verizon.net> 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.

Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 1:39 PM Subject: Zenith-List: Fueling high wing aircraft. --> 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 G. Iceland.

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. Bill > > >

    Subject: Re: Fueling high wing aircraft.
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Steve Hulland" <marinegunner@gmail.com> 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. -- Semper Fi, Steven R.

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.
