Hi Dave,
I added diagonal "L" stiffeners in each panel on the sides and top &
bottom of my 701. A noticable improvement in the oil canning
dept.howeven I then added a wire brace across and vertically in each
section and twisted them to the point that they just applied inwards
pressure on the panels, this eliminated the dreaded oil can problem,
simple and light.

Hello,
Actually the one piece exhaust is not so bad. I can send a few pics privately if
you'd like. At least on the 0-360, there is just enough room to take it off
without removing the airbox. It also has a single 2 piece heat shroud which is
easy to remove (without removing the exhaust system) to inspect the muffler for
cracks and leaks, so I would assume pressure testing is not required. Both
carb heat and cabin heat come off the same shroud. The following service letters
concern the newer exhaust system and heat shroud.

Dear Pete,
I talked to someone you your company a few months ago about a
possible need for maintence and service on the Jabiru 3300 engine. I
was told that there would be a maintenance facility established in the
Dallas-Ft. Worth area sometime in the future. If this has been done, I
would like the e-mail and street address and also the phone number of
this facility. I am building a ZodiacXL and intend to install the
Jabiru 3300 engine in it. I am not a mechanic and have ten thumbs if
you know what I mean. I know that nothing lasts forever and I will need
service sometime in the future so I would like to have on file where I
can take my engine for service.
I also sent another e-mail in asking if the Jabiru 3300 is
certified in the US and never got an answer.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: Mark Sherman <msherman95632@yahoo.com>
Good Morning.
Some time ago I e-mailed the EAA with the question, if
a part (particularly the engine)that is not night VFR
recommended was installed on an otherwise night
equipped experimental aircraft would there be any FAA
restrictions on night flight? Below is the answer I
received.
This is the same answer a couple of knowledgeable
listers posted.

===================
Hello Mark,
An experimental aircraft is not bound by the engine
manufacturers' operating instructions. So long as
your FAA-issued operating limitations allow the
aircraft to be flown at night or under IFR, you would
be legal to do so (providing the aircraft is properly
equipped). As for insurance requirements, you would
have to check with the insurance underwriter directly
in order to verify coverage.
Let me know if you have further questions.

First before anybody looks at the attached drawing I know I can't draw. So there.
Now here's my question. It seems like for the best connection you would sqeeze
each side of the Nico fitting at a time. (see fig B) And I know I've seen ones
that work like that.
But the ones supplied by Zenith seem to want to fit in the tool seem to only be
large enought to do it the way depicted in Fig. A.
So, DO I have the wrong tool and need one that wil let me do it as in Fig. B or
is Fig. A correct.

First before anybody looks at the attached drawing I know I can't draw.
So there.
The drawing was good enough, Gig. It should be crimped
as in figure "A" of your drawing. If the 'double barrel ferrule' is long
enough, you should crimp it three times. Do the middle first after
pushing the ferrule as close to the loop as possible. Then do the
section nearest the loop, and, finally, crimp the outermost section of
the ferrule. Then you will have a good solid crimp that will hold nearly
forever.
God Bless!!
Rick

Hello Listers,
I have lost my computer and the file in which I designed my checklist for my CH601XL
JABIRU 3300. In addition, my checlist has "wandered' away from my operators
binder. I was wondering if anyone out there in Zenith land might send me
a .pdf or a .doc file with a decent checklist that I may plagiarize(customize)
for my own use.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Thanks, that is really what I thought but seeing as how that is such a critical
connection and there is virtually zero guidence in the construction manual (other
than the info on the 3 crimp order on the plans) I was having a real hard
time pulling the trigger.
Looks like I have something to do this weekend.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Matt Stecher" <mrcc1234@sbcglobal.net>
Hello Everyone,
I am new to the list and the Zenith world and was just chiming in to say
hello to everyone. I live on the West side of Houston Texas in Katy.
I have had my plans for the XL for a month or so and have already begun my
Corvair conversion to WW's plans. I am planning to scratch build my plane
to primarily reduce costs, but the journey sounds like more fun this way as
well. I am really looking forward to the education I am about to receive,
which I suppose is at the heart of the experimental category.
I am also a student pilot (172) with about 10 hours and at the rate I am
going it will probably take me another year to finish up my PP License. I
considered the Sport Pilot License, but would like to enjoy my aircraft more
than it would allow.
I am a recent addition to Chapter 774 out of Brookshire Texas which is
headed up by Leonard of the Legal Eagle fame.
I completed a welding course recently and have begun practicing my gas
welding in preparation for the many parts that will be welded.
I am already having a blast and looking forward to a lifetime involvement in
the Aviation world.
I am sure that I will have many questions as I go along and will be looking
toward everyone here to help me over some of the humps.
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Matt Stecher

Hi Matt,
Welcome aboard.
I guess I am one of those guys who always asks nosy questions. So I
will go ahead and ask the two that came to mind while reading your
introduction.
First, which parts on the Zodiac are welded? I am a kit builder
rather than scratch, so I suppose the factory does all the welding I
need. Still, I am nearly completed with my XL and I haven't seen any
welded parts yet.
Second, I must ask why you don't want to get the Sport Pilot
certificate along the way to your Private. It allows you to carry
passengers and do most of the stuff you can do with a Private Licence
anyway. Perhaps you can find a nice pretty young lady to go on the
long cross country flights you must do to qualify for the
Private. Sometimes, cross country flying can get pretty boring.
I wish you great luck and a lot of fun building your XL. I think it
is a great choice for a low time pilot to build.
Best regards,
Paul

TELL me about it. lol I've spent the last two days doing nothing but cutting
4130 parts to weld together. The kit builders are lucky they don't have to
do any of this. Then again, my rudder pedals only cost $60, and my Gear Brackets
were less than $30 each. I'd rather have dirty hands than an empty pocketbook
any day! :)

Members,
The insurance company (Falcon) says that I must have time in a
Zodiac before they will insure me. My question now is, is anyone a
reasonable distance from me who ownes a completed Zodiac 601 willing to
let me fly their aircraft from either the left or right seat with them
along of course so I can qualify for insurance. I live in Central Texas
close fo Fort Hood. The small town I live in is just a dot on the map
and the closest town of any size is Killeen, It's half way between
Lampasas and Temple. I am willing to pay for wear and tear on your

What method are you using to cut your 4130 parts. I am about to start on
them myself.

TELL me about it. lol I've spent the last two days doing nothing but
cutting 4130 parts to weld together. The kit builders are lucky they don't
have to do any of this. Then again, my rudder pedals only cost $60, and my
Gear Brackets were less than $30 each. I'd rather have dirty hands than an
empty pocketbook any day! :)

Just Tom. Bren is the better half, but she just want to ride in the airplane.
Not build it. lol
I'm using a cold saw to cut the 4130 tubing used in the rudder pedals, control
sticks, etc. and a Bridgeport mill to put the 'half-rounds' in the end of
some of the tubes.
For parts like the Gear Brackets and anything else from flat sheet, I'm using
a CNC laser. If you let me know what you're looking for, I can cut a few extras
as I get to mine. I'm not sure in what order I'll be fabricating everything,
but I'll have to build it all sometime or another. Contact me off-list
if you're interested. The material isn't cheap, but it's not too bad compared
to the pre-fab part.

The insurance company (Falcon) says that I must have time in a Zodiac before
they will insure me. My question now is, is anyone a reasonable distance

for insurance. I live in Central Texas close fo Fort Hood. The small town
