No carb heat, & approx 7 1/4" prop to ground clearance. Also try posting your ? to the "Stratus" list as several Stratus fliers read only that list and not the Z list. Kelly Meiste 601 HD (147 hrs) if anyone has a stratus Sub installed may I ask what you are >> using for carb heat and where did you get it or how did you make it?

    I realize this isn't a true Zenith listing - but you gotta check this out just the same. THIS HAS TO BE THE ULTIMATE BIG BOYS TOY!!!!!! (FOR MILLIONAIRES ONLY ?) This is a really neat model airplane -- truly amazing! Make sure you click on the movie link at the bottom of the page to watch the movie of it in flight. Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each! Took over 2 years to build. It has a wing span of about 22 feet. Takes multiple pilots , as there are so many things to control. Think they were nervous during the maiden flight? Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines! $12,000 just for the engines ! Check out the movie link below to see the first flight. AMAZING !! (9:02 min) <http://www.mcg%0D%0A%20irt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/B52_flight2.wmv> http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/B52_flight2.wmv

    Subject: 601 HD & HDS Main Gear Installation
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: <planejim@bellsouth.net> Listers, There has been some recent discussions about the difficulty of installing the main gear on the 601HD & HDS. I remembered some ancient comments ( about ten years ago ) in the Zenair Newsletter. I went back and looked in Issues # 91 (Nov/Dec 1995) #93 (Mar/Apr 1996) #95 (Jul/Aug 1996) and # 97 (Nov/Dec 1996). I was the submitter of the Article in Issue # 97. I had developed a way that I considered a lot easier and quicker, not only for the initial installation but any time maintenance had to be performed. I made use of nutplates and some simple aluminum strips which didn't take long to make. The initial installation of all three gear took me 45 minutes. Chris Heintz made a comment following the article that the Bungees last for many years, therefore maintenance wouldn't be needed. Ask those who have had main gear fitting failures and those who must now beef up or modify the main gear legs of the HD and HDS. They have to fight the same battle they did at initial installation. My tool and the way I installed the gear will allow me to do this job without much problem. My main bungees have lasted for 10 years just as Chris said but I have to now beef up the gear. No cracks yet but I don't want a failure. Take a look at those past issues of the Newletter. Several ideas to work with. Jim Hoak 601HD-Rotax 912UL- 27 Hours

    Subject: Skyshop Electric Flaps for CH701 and Attaching Images
    From: Jeffrey A Beachy <beachyjeff@juno.com>
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Jeffrey A Beachy <beachyjeff@juno.com> Gentlemen: I am working on installing my Skyshop purchased electric flap actuator in my CH701. It will not fit, and without sending it back, neither Danny nor I can figure out where the problem lies. Here are the details: When my 7C3-1 Flaperon Control Mount is in the neutral position (50mm from baggage compartment floor to the centerline of top tubes), the flap actuator is too large to fit between the bottom channel (7F10-1) and the mounting hole on the Flaperon Control Mount. Measurements: Between the bottom aft corner of the bottom channel to the mounting hole on Flaperon Control Mount, 175mm. Total length of extended actuator, from bottom aft corner of mounting bracket to center of mounting hole in extended actuator rod, 214mm. I will attach a picture showing measurements of my actuator. Unless I am brain dead, the total length of the extended actuator needs to be roughly 175mm to match the mounting hole in the bottom of the Flaperon Control Mount when the Control Mount is in the neutral position. So, either my actuator, which looks exactly like the one shown on Skyshop's site, is a different size or the distance between the bottom gear channel and the flaperon control mount on my plane is different for some reason. Danny told me to send it back so that he can ensure it is the correct one, which I will do if I have to, but I am hoping someone on the list has the Skyshop electric flaps installed and is willing to open the bottom panel and get some measurements for me. On an entirely different note, I receive the daily digest version of the Zenith list, which does not contain any attachments. I like the digest version, but miss not seeing any images. Is there any way to change this so that I can receive images with the digest version? Or is there a way to access them somehow on the list elsewhere? Thanks to all in advance. I'm having a blast building my 701, despite my present problems. Jeff Beachy CH701, 70% or so

    Subject: Scotchbrite pad Question.
    Jeff You are going to have a hard time with this one, here on the list. The joke around here is that, all you have to do to ruffle some feathers is mention "green scotch-brite" pads. The short of it is, every time someone asks this question it leads to a flood of posts that do nothing but confuse everyone. The only wise advice I can give you is to be sure that you know what abrasive is in your pad (or sandpaper) AC 43.13 says no Silicon Carbide; no iron oxide; for corrosive reasons. Use only Aluminum Oxide or Garnet as an abrasive mineral. Also, I have found the 3M website and packaging to be notoriously lacking in this sort of information about their products. I have had to call Customer Service on occasion and wait a while for them to hunt the info down for me. I get a blank stare from auto paint shops when I ask them about mineral content. Just know that this is not easily answered. I'm convinced that, if we ever find Bigfoot, he will be holding a green scotch-brite pad. Kevin Bonds Nashville TN 601XL Corvair powered; Plans building.

    Jeff, I'll take the risk of responding to this well intentioned but dangerous question. Once upon a time on this list, a source for the desired #7447 Scotch-Bright was offered, and proved to be excellent. I obtained a box of twenty large pads promptly and cheap (I don't remember the exact price). WWW.Use-enco.com Lynn Corry, PA 601XL Corvair

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: N5SL <nfivesl@yahoo.com> Jeff: You can get a soapy acid solution from a trucking supply house - It is called "Pro Par Super Renews II." You should dilute it with water. It cleans and eats at the aluminum. I scotch-brite, use the Pro Par, then rinse with water and dry before priming. Compared to some parts I just scuffed up, the primer sticks a lot better with the Pro Par treatment. A gallon lasts forever - I'm almost finished with my airplane and still have half of the gallon left. I bought all of my green scotch-brite from Wal-mart. It works great.

    Just use self-etching primer... There's really no need to 'scuff' it with anything, that's what the 'self-etching' in the primer does...

    Subject: Official Zenith-List FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Dear Listers, Please read over the Zenith-List Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below. The complete Zenith-List FAQ including the Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Zenith-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator [ Note: This FAQ was designed to be displayed with a fixed width font such as Courier. Proportional fonts will cause display formatting errors. ] This FAQ can also be viewed in HTML online at the following address: http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith-List.htm ************************************************************ ******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ******* ************************************************************ PLEASE READ. This document contains Zenith-List policies and information for new and old subscribers. Understanding the Zenith-List policies will minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the Zenith-List running smoothly for all of us. ****************************************** *** Quick Start Guide to List Features *** ****************************************** There are many features available on the Matronics Email Lists and each one is described in detailed below. However, using the List Navigator you can quickly access the complete set of features available for this List. The List Navigator can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Zenith-List **************************************** *** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe *** **************************************** Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of your email address as it is subscribed to the List. Please see the complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information. The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is: http://www.matronics.com/subscribe Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption process. The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed. You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request. The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post until you receive the second conformation email message. ***************************** *** How to Post a Message *** ***************************** Send an email message to: zenith-list@matronics.com Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed to the List. ***************************************************** *** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post *** ***************************************************** When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message is checked and compared against the current subscription list. If the email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor. If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it is dumped. This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that gets posted to the Lists. Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook or Eudora. For example, the following two email addresses may be functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List: smith@machine.domain.com smith@domain.com Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to the List. ************************************** *** Enclosure Support on the Lists *** ************************************** Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets is supported on the Lists. There are a number of restrictions, and these are detailed below. Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the content of enclosures. These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics Lists: 1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the Lists. 2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists. 3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site. 4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives. 5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature. 6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed: bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to sender. The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk. 7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting to the List. This is done in real time and will not slow down the process of posting the message !! Here are some rules for posting enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists. 1) Pay attention to what you are posting!! Make sure that the files you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there are still people checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post 30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these folks and the rest of us, for that matter. 2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000 pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less. Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically scale it down and resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Look for the link "Image Resizer" 3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother. And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even questionable. !! 4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and BE COURTEOUS! Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share where you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web server for long time viewing and availability. ******************* *** Digest Mode *** ******************* Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started. This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended to the archive file. It has all of the headers except for the "From:" and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting of a line of underscores. Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list. To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form described above, and just select the Digest version of the List. http://www.matronics.com/subscribe Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions of the List at the same time. This is perfectly acceptable. Now some caveats: * Messages sent to "zenith-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard email list. In other words, you cannot post messages only to the digest List. * If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of the day. * If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the normal list associated with the digest. Important Note: Please change the subject line to reflect the topic of your response! Also, please *do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*. **************************** *** List Digest Browser *** **************************** An archive of all the List Digests can be found online in either plain text or HTML format. These archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to the Digest email list on the given day. The Digest Archives can be found at the following location: http://www.matronics.com/digest ***************************************** *** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag *** ***************************************** At times, your message may concern something that is revelent only to a very small number of persons or to a limited area, and you may not wish to archive it. In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the message: do not archive Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List email distribution as normal. ********************************************** ***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes ***** ********************************************** Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly removed from the List. If you discover that you are no longer receiving messages from the Zenith-List, go to the following Web page, and look for your email address and a possible reason for your removal. The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox full", etc. If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the Lists you will find record of it at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice. ******************************* *** List Member Information *** ******************************* If you have not done so already, please email me your phone numbers and paper mail address in the following format: smith@somehost.com Joe Smith 123 Airport Lane Tower, CA 91234-1234 098-765-1234 w 123-456-7890 h Please forward this information to the following email address: requests@matronics.com I have a file of such things, that I typically use to contact you when there are problems with your email address. The information will NOT be used for any other commercial purpose. **************************************** *** Realtime Web Email List Browsing *** **************************************** Recent messages posted to the Zenith-List are also made available on the Web for realtime browsing. Seven days worth of back postings are available with this feature. The messages can be sorted by Subject, Author, Date, or Message Thread. The Realtime List Browser indexes are updated twice per hour at xx:15 and xx:45. You can also reply to a message or start a new message directly from the List Browser Interface (coming soon). You do not have to be subscribed to the given list to use the List Browser Interface in view-mode. http://www.matronics.com/browselist/zenith-list ******************************************* *** Web Forums Bulletin Board Interface *** ******************************************* A phpBB BBS web Forums front end is available for all Zenith-List content. content. The Forums contain all of the same content available via the email distribution and found on the various archive viewing formats such as the List Browse, etc. Any posts on the web Forums will be cross posted to the respective email List, and posts to the Email List will be cross posted to the web Forums. You may view all List content on the Forums without any special login. If you wish to post a message via the Web Forum interface, however, you will need to Register. This is a simple process that takes only a few minutes. A link to the Registration page can be found at the top of the main web Forums page. Note that registering on the Forum web site also enables you to send email posts to the Lists as well. You will also need to Subscribe to the respective Email List as described above to receive the Email Distribution of the List, however. The Matroincs Email List Web BBS Forums can be found at the following URL: http://forums.matronics.com ********************************* *** Matronics Email List Wiki *** ********************************* In an attempt to make it easy to store and find structured and often accessed information, Matronics has installed a Wiki at: http://wiki.matronics.com The Wiki allows individuals to create web pages to contain useful information for other users of the mailing lists and web site. Unlike an ordinary web page where the content needs to be submitted to Matronics for inclusion, the Wiki permits the users to construct their own pages and have them visible immediately. While constructing pages for the Wiki is not difficult, some may not be comfortable building pages. In that case, simply prepare the text and any images and email it to: wiki-support@matronics.com One of the volunteers on that list will take your submission and construct a Wiki page for you. Often someone produces a particularly useful posting in email one one of the Lists that would be of general interest. In that case Matronics may take that post and convert it into a Wiki page. ********************* *** List Archives *** ********************* A file containing of all of the previous postings to the Zenith-List is available on line.

You won't find any PopUpAds, flashing Banner ads, or any other form of annoying commercialism on either the Email Messages or the List web pages associated with the Matronics Email Lists. Every year during November I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month, I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they are comfortable. I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the Fund Raiser to increase the participation. The gifts are usually donated by companies that are themselves List members. Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the variety of services found here. Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary and non-compulsory. I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude. Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in. The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below. There are a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and sending a personal check. If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to support its continued operation? http://www.matronics.com/contributions Thank you! Matt Dralle Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** Zenith-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Zenith-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the Zenith-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. Zenith-List Policy Statement The purpose of the Zenith-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. - Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by List members promoting their respective products or items for sale should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to everyone, including those who provide products to the entire community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists. ------- [This is an automated posting.] do not archive
