I have an O-360 Lycoming in my 801 with a metal cruise prop supplied by 
Zenith and the aircraft is certainly NOT nose heavy as apparently some 
801 builders claim.
In fact, if I had to do it over again I would probably put the battery 
on the firewall rather than under the seat to get more weight in the 
front end.
My empty CG is 14.8 in (allowable range is between 12.8 and 22.4 in), 
and I have the shorter horizontal tail. My empty weight is 1310 lbs (I 
have the extended range fuel tanks)
It is not a big deal but with an empty CG closer to the forward limit 
you would have a greater latitude in loading profiles. As it is, when I 
start to load the back seat I sometimes will reach the aft CG limit 
before I reach gross weight.

My initial gut feeling is you are underpropped by a large amount. If not
hing else you need a larger diameter to send the prop blast across the t
ail feathers to make them work at lower airspeeds. 46" pitch will let yo

Hi Larry,

Please forgive me if this is a silly question, but is that 1310 lb. empty weight
with full fuel, empty or somewhere in between?  It's a lot higher than the stated
1150 lbs. empty weight on their spec sheet.  It wouldn't surprise me if
their specfied empty weights were on the light side for marketing purposes, though.

I remember you said you built yours a little heavy, but I didn't realize it was
that much heavier.  It's still plenty for two large people to fly with plenty
of cargo, however :-)

Best regards,
Chris

I'm not to the point that I need a cover yet but will be buying one in the future.
I'll be interested to see what you come up with.  The best material I ever
saw came from Airtex but I don't believe they are making windshield / canopy
covers anymore.

>From my experience with other aircraft I have a few comments.

1.)  You want a tight fitting, tight weave material that will not let any dust
in and will not balloon or whip around in the wind.  To do otherwise might result
in damage to the plastic.  Waterproofing is not absolutely necessary but water
resistance is a good idea....also, try to find a material that will not shrink
when wet.
2.) Pay careful attention to the material that actually comes in contact with the
canopy.....it should not scratch the plastic nor hold dust or other abrasives.

Ben,
You are probably right about being underpropped for top speed.  But as you know
if I was looking for top cruise speed, I wouldn't be building an 801.  My intention
is for fast acceleration on take off and leisurely flying.  If this prop
doesn't work out, I'll swap in another.  I'll post the results after I do the
test phase.  

Thanks,

I'm borrowing a KennonCovers.com cover (thanks Roy), and thinking of either buying
one or making my own from the pattern.

The Kennon is nice, but heavy also.  They are $350/$425 (deluxe).

I have a neighbour who made a *very* light cover from rip-stop nylon. I may do
that for the occasional overnighter.

However.....if someone knows a good source and has a picture (Jack sounds like
he's on to something!) I'd be interested too.

recommend you purchase the CD that teaches step by step near everything you are

asking. I needed mine and I'm still learning from it. The factory tech couldn't

tell me how to get from the green terrain screen to the yellow nav screen shown

on the box. Working with it I figured out you could turn off Terrain 
Awareness to switch back to the yellow. I still have questions, but the CD is a
good

Bill-  I went to Arthur IL this AM and talked to the Amish guy I had 
mentioned.  I took a line drawing of a 601xl with me and described what 
you are looking for.  He showed me some waterproof material that is 
pretty light, with a  cotton like backside which would help keep the 
canopy from getting scratched.  A fitted cover with adjustable 1 inch 
straps and plastic connectors that would go under the fuselage, he 
estimates the cost to be between $150-$200.  This would include a small 
matching bag to store the cover in.   I told him he could use my 601xl 
as a pattern maker.  Let me know if you want me to pursue this further.  

Thanks much for the offer of flight time and lodging.  That is very kind 
of you.  I cannot go anywhere now with my wife so ill.  I really 
appreciate your offer tho.  I hope to have my plane flying within a few 
weeks.  depends now on my painting buddy getting the time to help.

Wade,

I am heading in the same direction as you.  One Idea I had was to tram (square
up) my drill press spindle to the table top.  What I mean here is to invert the
base so the spindle can reach the table top and move the spar along the table
while drilling.  That looks like the easiest way to keep it supported while
drilling.

  Dear Thread Friends, I am looking to buy a canopy cover for my XL. She 
stays hangered most all the time and any of you all that have visited 
probably have seen that fine Bart Simpson bed sheet I use to cover the 
canopy from dust and bugs. I do plan on doing a bit of over night 
traveling this fall and need a "real" canopy cover. I contacted Bruce's 
Custom Covers in California and the nice fellow indicated they had sold 
58 covers for 601s and his price was $379.00 plus shipping. Further, he 
said their cover weighs a little over 6 pounds. I figure I don't really 
need a cover that will withstand meteor showers, hurricanes, tornados. 
The plane would end up in Kansas with Dorothy and Toto anyway with the 
cover the only thing holding it together !.  Anybody know a lighter, 
less indestructible and cheaper source for a canopy cover ? Hope to hear 
from you and best regards, Bill of Georgia

Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Cost of Reducer For Zinc Chromate

Hi Dave,

I just made a trip to my local "Automotive" paint store.  This is a 
different retail location from the paint stores that sell house 
paint.  They offered me some good primer to use instead of the Zinc 
Chromate on steel - some sort of red oxide primer.  They also have 
all the stuff to paint aluminum including alumiprep, allodine, 
self-etching primer (for cabin interior use),  polyurethane top coat 
in spray cans for interior use, epoxy primer, and polyurethane top 
coat which can be configured as a single coat or base coat with clear 
top coat.

The guy there also convinced me these materials are a little 
hazardous but easy to work with so long as I use a little common 
sense.  He also said the total cost for materials (and maybe a mask?) 
to paint my plane would run around $500.  This was good news since I 
have heard of a guy around here who paid $7,000 to get his RV-9A painted.

Of course, all of these materials are available locally and with no 
wait or hazmat shipping charges.  I will have to pay sales tax.

You may have such a store in your area too.  If you have problems 
finding it, perhaps you can talk to whoever does auto painting and 
ask where they get their materials.

Best regards,

Paul

Hello Bill,=0A=0AOne thing to consider very important in any canopy cover, 
is not the price directly, but the type of material that is touching the ca
nopy,  is important to be sure that  will not scratch it with the normal mo
vememt by the wind... =0A=0AI still have no experience with canopy covers, 
but I have seen some airplane windshields replaced, because of seroius scra
tches by the cover (probably with some dust),  looked like scratched with  
sand paper.=0A=0AWe are planning to install instead of a canopy cover in ou
r 601 XL  (once is finished),  some kind of  instrument and seat cover (ins
ide the canopy), mostly to hide what is inside...   we now use converted ca
r shades to cover our 701 canopy from the inside... =0A=0ASaludos=0AGary Go

: 601 Canopy Covers=0A=0ADear Thread Friends, I am looking to buy a canopy 
cover for my XL. She stays hangered most all the time and any of you all th
at have visited probably have seen that fine Bart Simpson bed sheet I use t
o cover the canopy from dust and bugs. I do plan on doing a bit of over nig
ht traveling this fall and need a "real" canopy cover. I contacted Bruce's 
Custom Covers in California and the nice fellow indicated they had sold 58 
covers for 601s and his price was $379.00 plus shipping. Further, he said t
heir cover weighs a little over 6 pounds. I figure I don't really need a co
ver that will withstand meteor showers, hurricanes, tornados. The plane wou
ld end up in Kansas with Dorothy and Toto anyway with the cover the only th
ing holding it together !.  Anybody know a lighter, less indestructible and
 cheaper source for a canopy cover ? Hope to hear from you and best regards
