    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Jay Herron" <jay@agstore.net> Dave, I purchased a case of Tempo zinc chromate aerosol cans from Skygeek a couple years ago for my 801. They had the best price at the time and did not charge hazmat. I see they now have a generic zinc chromate for less money than the Tempo. Their website now mentions a hazmat charge on the Tempo but not on the generic. The hazmat charge did not show up on the order total when I put in a pretend order this morning: $9.90 for 2 cans plus $7.43 shipping = $17.33 You might call them first to confirm that there is no hazmat charge. They have yellow and green. Here is a link to the green: http://www.skygeek.com/a7-6889a.html Jay Herron Salem, Ohio 801 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=61932#61932

    From: Larry Landucci <lllanducci@tds.net>
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: Larry Landucci <lllanducci@tds.net> The empty weight (1310 lb) that I quoted for my 801 is one commonly defined as the weight of the aircraft including unusable fuel (about 4-6 gal), and full oil (12 qts). The empty weight of the Zenith factory 801 is reasonable considering that they have only two fuel tanks, no soundproofing/thermal insulation surrounding the entire interior of the cabin as I do, and a lot simpler (and lighter) instrument panel. The one-inch thick closed-cell foam insulation from Wicks or Spruce is quite heavy. In fact, in the forward floor I have a two inch layer underneath a 1/8 inch masonite sheet and carpet over that. I did that because my rubber fuel lines are routed underneath the "false" floor through rigid PVC tubing on their way to my Andair fuel selector on a center panel (an additional extra weight). I also installed additional aluminum angles (diagonally) on both the top and bottom rear fuselage to minimize "oil canning" during flight and glued random scrap pieces of the 1" foam to the sides of the rear fuselage as well to accomplish the same thing. I have about 160 hours on my 801 and so far have not yet heard any sounds due to flexing of the aluminum skins ("oil canning"). So, with all this I think an extra 160 lbs doesn't seem too bad.

    Subject: Canopy covers
    Members, There is no point or advantage in having a custom fitted cover made for your aircraft. A cotton blanket and a silver 10' X 12' tarp with grommets that you can tie 1/4" nylon rope will work just as well as an expensive custom cover. Also if you have a problem as I did when I was living in California with birds thinking your airplane is a toilet for their use, do the following. Get a small piece rabbit skin with the hair still on it and cut it out so it looks like four legs and a head. Put two eyes on the head and glue a piece of Velcro on the bottom side of it. Glue a piece of Velcro on the turtle deck of your aircraft and you will not have any more birds sitting on your airplane and taking a dump. The idea is not really new, farmers have been using scarecrows for years to protect their crops. The rabbit skin is the same principal and it works Bob Stone, Harker Heights, Tx ZodiacXL

    Cost of Reducer For Zinc ChromateI'm not an industrial paint tech wizard (someone else on the list is one but I don't remember who he is) but I would try buying Laquer Thinner by the gallon at the local paint store, Home Depot, or Lowes etc. It will disolve almost anything other than glass or titanium and flashed off for a quick drying time. It does not etch aluminum for you so you should wash the part, use some sort of etcher (Alumaprep) then brush or spray it on. Hope that helps, Ed Moody II ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave VanLanen To: zenith-list@matronics.com I was going to order a quart of reducer from ACS for the zinc chromate primer I purchased.

    Please don't take offense with the following comments. It's hard to believ e, but on occasion, people on this list take my comments the wrong way :-) I admire the frugal nature of your suggestion. I saw the post many months ago, about the blanket and tarp idea, and also a "custom cover" using a table cloth with a soft interior surface. The reas on I didn't go with this option is I thought it would look like a tarp and a blanket! Or a tablecloth strapped to my plane! I didn't like the look o f it. SO, I went with the a custom, color matched cover from Bruce's Custo m Covers. He already had the template for the XL and it looks beautiful. I liked it so much I went back for a prop/spinner cover. I liked the idea about the rabbit skin.Phil Maxson601XL/CorvairNorthwest Ne w Jersey From: rstone4@hot.rr.comTo: zenith-list@matronics.comSubject: Zenith-List: Canopy coversDate: Sat, 16 Sep 2006 11:57:13 -0500 Members, There is no point or advantage in having a custom fitted cover made fo r your aircraft.

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Chris In Madison" <cowens@cnw.com> I agree. Larry has a very nice plane. He was kind enough to give me a ride in it one beautiful summer evening here in Madison (Middleton), WI. Beautiful sunset on the horizon. It was a very comfortable ride, and his plane is nicely outfitted. I spent some more time going over it at a recent fly-in and like it more each time I see it. I wish you had your plane at Oshkosh this year. I *really* wanted to see it! It was sad that Larry's was the only one there (other than the factory plane). Maybe John Faulkner's new white one with the Eggenfellner 6-cyl will be there next year :-).

    Subject: Re: Canopy covers
    Phil, My suggestion was for those who want protection for their aircraft and nothing else. You like a custom made cover with your aircraft tail number on it for the same reason I have a gold emblem on my Cadillac. The car came with black tire valve screw on covers, and the hood ornament was silver but I had to have gold. The rabbit skin really works if you have a problem with birds landing on your aircraft when it is parked and craping on it whenever they feel like it. I made one up when I had a Beachcraft parked at Meadow Lark Field, Hunting Beach, California and it got craped on all the time until I put that "Scarecrow" on it and no more bird crap. I am never offended by people who have a different view point than I do. Bob Stone ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Maxson To: Robert L. Stone Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2006 5:19 PM Subject: RE: Zenith-List: Canopy covers Please don't take offense with the following comments. It's hard to believe, but on occasion, people on this list take my comments the wrong way :-) I admire the frugal nature of your suggestion. I saw the post many months ago, about the blanket and tarp idea, and also a "custom cover" using a table cloth with a soft interior surface. The reason I didn't go with this option is I thought it would look like a tarp and a blanket! Or a tablecloth strapped to my plane! I didn't like the look of it. SO, I went with the a custom, color matched cover from Bruce's Custom Covers. He already had the template for the XL and it looks beautiful. I liked it so much I went back for a prop/spinner cover. I liked the idea about the rabbit skin.

A cotton blanket and a silver 10' X 12' tarp with grommets that you can tie 1/4" nylon rope will work just as well as an expensive custom cover. <<SNIP>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Express yourself with gadgets on Windows Live Spaces Try it!

    Subject: 701 Upper Elevator Horn
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Ryan Vechinski" <brothapig@hotmail.com> Fellow 701 builders; I am currently working on finishing up the elevator, and I am trying to figure out the upper elevator horn, part number 7H5-1. First of all, I don't believe that it is drawn correctly when looking at the "top" view. I cannot figure out how far in to taper the front of the horn (the dashed line with the work "cut" in the drawings) Could someone help me understand this? I hope I am explaining this enough. I will try to scan an image in if necessary. Thanks in advance. Ryan
