If, in your area, you have a glass business, there is a supplier that we all
use C.R. Laurence Co. whereby they sell the quality stainless steel OLFA
knives (product #SVR-1) and blade refills are available. These are a much
improved quality as they are a tool for glass businesses.

Gooood morning all!
I would like to know. Did any one here purchased or
installed a Franklin engine (4A-235-B31) on a CH601?
Or do you know anyone that did?

I don't know why you would want to, but I don't see any reason you couldn't use
bucked rivets. I'm not an engineer, but I would be a little cautious installing
the rivets flush with countersinking. The tensile strength of the joint could
be affected. The tensile strength may be limited as much by the thin skins
we use as by the actual rivet strength, so a bucked flush rivet may be no stronger
than a pulled flush rivet in tension. It may even be weaker than a domed
pulled rivet.

Dear Thread Friends, had a great day Sunday. First, weather was good, gas
tanks full and winds blowing down the runway. My granddaughter, Catfish Ivy, 10
years old, took her first flight and it was a thrill. She had helped me
regularly for three years of building, but had never had the chance to fly. Fact
is
she had never even been to an airport before. We took off, zipped to 4,000 ft.
and after a couple minutes seeing how to control the stick she flew around
for almost an hour. She has a great feel for the plane and I must say she was
more sure of herself than my Wife who has flown with me for many years. Yes, I
was real proud of that little girl and I bragged big time on her. She was
blushing bright from all the attention. Well, I hope to meet a bunch of you fine
fellows at the S n F Bar B Q. You can meet Catfish as well. Best regards, Bill

Here is Kent White's web site. I purchased his material 10 years ago
and have become a gas welder using his learning techniques. I now weld
engine mounts, weldments and sub assemblies and the like with the
little Meco Kent sells. Its more of a hobby and to prove to my self
that welding can be done at home. Aluminum welding with gas can be
done...I practice with coke and beer cans and have made more then a
handful of aircraft fuel tanks over the years. For me it was common
sense, practice and the right tools (not expensive at all). Last year,
Kit Planes did a article on gas welding and used the same torch
(Meco)that Kent sells (get the tip kit and carrying fish)
http://www.tinmantech.com/html/meco_midget_torch.php
BTW, this little torch can weld up to 1/2 inch with no problem. Using
the N1 & N2 tips, I weld 4130 chrome molly tubing and play weld the
coke cans with the N-1 tip. (I used the N-5 tip for the 1/2 inch
project last year....)

Rookies Welding Tanks ...
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Doug Eatman" <pilotdna@hotmail.com>
Thanks for the post Martin!
I wanted to make my own tanks so I purchased the "Gas welding aluminum"
video by Kent White (since I already have a torch that I'm pretty
confident
with) but the TIG guys here in the University of Florida machine shop
laughed at me so I put that task off. I figured it only looked doable
in
the video because Kent White has supernatural powers when it comes to
aluminum.
Your post has changed my mind on that, and since my primary objective
for
the build is learning, I'm going to give gas welding my tanks a shot.
Every
now and then an encouraging post like yours makes reading this list
really
worthwhile! Worst I can do is mess up some aluminum, and wasted
material is
often money well spent just because of the experience gained.

As the author of the Kitplanes article, parts I and II
(mentioned below), I highly recommend the Meco Midget
torch. I was using it last weekend thinking how glad
I was that I learned to gas weld. All of my
experience has been on thin steel, but I plan to learn
to weld thin aluminum with the torch soon. I ordered
the flux and filler rods from Tinmantech.com but they
have been gathering dust mostly. For anybody that's
interested, part II of my article was about the
technique of welding with oxy/acet. and I posted it
here:
http://www.cooknwithgas.com/WeldingPart2.pdf
Part I was about gathering the bottles, goggles, etc.
and I don't think I scanned it.
In following this thread I saw no mention of goggles
for aluminum welding. I did a lot of research on this
and it seems that you need blue goggles to filter out
the orange flame that can obscure the puddle when
aluminum welding. I saw this the one time I tried it
with regular goggles. I found some cobalt blue
goggles that have a gold tint on the front to protect
your eyes after an extensive internet search a few
years ago. I can't find the link right now so I can't
post the location. Apparently the cobalt blue goggles
that smelters use is not approved for aluminum welding
because it damages your eyes. Something to keep in
mind.
Happy Building,

After using Cortec 373 under all my riveted surfaces for a year or so, I
think I discovered a hidden benefit .........It's just sticky enough that if all
my rivets somehow fall out, this stuff is going to hold the plane together!
How's that for a safety feature?

All this talk of welding your own tanks has got me all fired up to try it
myself. I'm building an 801. Where do I start. Are there plans or do I just
build them to fit the hole. I plan on using 2 in each wing. I don't know a
thing about it. I can gas weld OK. But that's about it. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated. I won't need them until may be Winter or
Spring, so I have plenty of time.

I went through the Gas Welding E.A.A. seminar last January and the
instructor specifically mentioned that there is nothing about gas welding
light that can damage your eyes. The darker lens and special color lens is
strictly for allowing you to see the puddle and how the material is reacting
to the flame. Tig welding is another story as is any electric welding.
Dave
And I highly recommend taking the course. I welded aluminum too but you
don't want any aluminum I welded in your plane.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Bill Naumuk" <naumuk@alltel.net>
All-
I've had a lot of off-list questions about the latest bump in the road, and
rather than try to answer them individually, here goes- get in for a long story!
This was a case where there was no glaring mistakes that jump out and grab
your eye until it seems that it's too late. It's known as cumulative error. A
combination of factory error, then procedural error, finally doubled by a visit
from Mr. Murphy.
From the HDS builder's manual for the center wing- "Clamp the L Angle at STA.
900 and 1014 over the pre-drilled holes in the Spar caps. Next clamp the (Nose)
rib to the L Angle and check the alignment of the pre-drilled holes in the
Spar Web with the Rib flange. Back drill with #20."
When I did this, the web holes were off center with the starboard gear inboard
nose rib flanges (The web holes were off by 3mm) but still legal. We've all
been there. That's great for the the nose ribs, but your rear gear ribs are
locked in with no slack.
When I started working with the rear ribs, I found that the A6 holes barely
showed contact with the inboard edge of the doubler. The gear rib alignment checked
out, so I measured the A6 holes. The starboard side was right on the money
by my calculations, but the port was inboard by 7mm. I triple checked everything,
then decided my best course of action was to drill holes to the centerline
of the port doublers, and contacted Zenith as to how best fill the extra
holes.
Moving back around to the nose side, I made nose rib adjustments TO THE WRONG
SET OF HOLES, doubling the error. It wasn't until I set the rear bottom skin,
straigthening up all the ribs until they were square and perpendicular, that
the problem was noticable. This is why my picture looks so hideous.
Bottom line- I'll have 2 sets of A6s in the inboard gear rib flanges, and will
make .025 doubler strips for both front and back of the affected web flange,
but we're back on the road.
Amazing how two holes can damn near ruin the next couple of months!
Bill

Hi Murray,
I'm building a Zodiac Xl 601 all with flush head rivets.
It's hard, but it's getting beautiful.
The hardest thing was the body and the tail.
The wing were easier.
I built a dimple machine and it helped me a lot.
I'll send you some pictures of teh Zodiac.

aluminium...come to think of it I can do that with the TIG welder as
well!
Go blow a few holes then order a quart of proseal...:)

I just build them to fit the hole. I plan on using 2 in each wing. I
don't know a thing about it. I can gas weld OK. But that's about it. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I won't need them until may be
Winter or Spring, so I have plenty of time.

a little heavier than the ones ZAC supplied...about $9 a tire. I still
have them on mine. don

Hello Michel,
No, not here, but will like to know the installed weight (wood prop) and the
final price, with all needed accesories.
Off course all First Hand experience will be of great value..
Anything you find out, will be appreciated by the list.

Gooood morning all!
I would like to know. Did any one here purchased or
installed a Franklin engine (4A-235-B31) on a CH601?
Or do you know anyone that did?

| Subject: | Visiting San Antonio and Houston. |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: Gary Gower <ggower_99@yahoo.com>
Dear Builders and Pilots Friends,
I am going by car next week in a short family vacation trip: Houston ( 12,
13, 14 and 15) including a little 2 day bussiness trip to San Antonio (10 and
11).
Yes same week.
Probably I can arrange a couple of hours for myself in both cities to see some
airplanes and buy some tools :-)
I will like very much to see and visit at least one project or finished airplane
(701 or XL) in this areas and take a few photos.
I will appreciate if you think possible to send me any phone number and/or address
(off list),
I am living this Thursday early in the morning.
Probably can find any address, I have a Street Pilot III GPS... "Turn left",
Turn right", "Recalculating route" :-) :-)
Last time in Houston was about 4 years ago.
Saludos

can gladly advise you.

Hi Murray,
I'm building a Zodiac Xl 601 all with flush head rivets.
It's hard, but it's getting beautiful.
The hardest thing was the body and the tail.
The wing were easier.
I built a dimple machine and it helped me a lot.
I'll send you some pictures of teh Zodiac.
Best regards,
