I'm pretty much the same as Larry other than I'm flying the HD @ 720 lbs.
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.

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

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.

Subject: | Skyshop Electric Flaps for CH701 and Attaching Images |
--> 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.

Good lord be careful those things will kill you.
DO NOT ARCHIVE ...or use the wrong color scotchbrite
That's a good question and one I haven't been able to find the answer too in 4
years of building.

I've seen some pretty fantastic models in my time, but how about the
guy that built a full scale P-51A from scratch? Pretty amazing, even if
he had to sub out some of the work. Past amazing- mind boggling. The
hydraulics alone are probably more complex than a Zenith!

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.

Are the green scotchbrite pads you buy at wal-mart the same as the ones you
buy from the aircraft supply store? Thanks Jeff

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).

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...
Just clean it really good with a solvent, I personally use MEK, but I
know some others use Acetone with good results...

Try the following link on ZAC's website. There is also a manual from George
Pinneo for an HDS. The link is in the builder's section and may require a

Also don't get any nuts, bolts or washers near an engine either. It only
takes one to destroy an engine, ever drop the wingnut from an old
aftermarket Ford flathead aircleaner into the carb opening of a running
engine ?. NO, well I didn't either but I did help pull the old engine
out & replace it with a new shortblock.

If you follow the Construction Manual from ZAC, they recommend Scotch-Brite
P/N 7447. These are stocked by Aircraft Spruce for $.92 each (see listing
below) and I recently bought a box of 20 from my local NAPA auto parts
store. Not that hard to find.

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.

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.

*********************************
*** 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.
*********************

1) Email Lists that they are related to.
2) Your Full Name.
3) Your Email Address.
4) One line Subject description.
5) Multi-line, multi-paragraph description of topic.
6-x) One-line Description of each photo or file
Prior to public availability of the files and photos, each will be scanned
for viruses. Please also note that the process of making the files and
photos available on the web site is a pseudo-manual process, and I try to
process them every few days.
Following the availability of the new Photoshare, an email message will be
sent to the Email Lists enumerated in 1) above indicating that the new
Share is available and what the direct URL to it is.
For a current list of available Photoshares, have a look at the Main

*** List Archive CDROM ***
**************************
A complete Matronics Email List Archive CD is available that contains
all of the archives since the beginning of each of the Lists. The archives
for all of the Lists are included on the CD along with a freeware search
engine written by a list member. The CD is burned the day you order it
and will contain archive received up to the last minute. They make
great gifts!

*** List Support Contributions ***
**********************************
The Matronics Lists are run *completely* through the support of it members.
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?

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.
