AW Shucks, That pesky seat belt bracket keeps interrupting our life and
death discussion of zinc chromate and canopy covers...
Interesting timing, yesterday I talked to a good friend of mine that had
his first aircraft accident in almost 40 yrs of flying. forgot to turn on
the fuel, engine quit at 75' and he hit the ground at about 40 degrees, tore
the gear out,flipped over and busted up the plane pretty good but other than
a puncture wound in the calf and MASSIVE bruises the size of a saucer from
the seat belt/shoulder harness he was in good shape, no failure of the
restraint system. This is on a 250# airplane so a good system does not have
to weigh much, just be properly designed.
Seems like I'm gonna be the designated hitter on this issue so I'll write a
letter to Zenith expressing my (our??) concerns in this very important area
of design and see what shakes out. Stay tuned, this has the potential to get
ugly. LOW&SLOW John

Sorry, but my recent description of my 801 had a significant error.
When I spoke of the one inch thick insulation foam, I actually meant
one/half inch thick. But in most locations I used two layers for a
total thickness of one inch.

I was going to order a quart of reducer from ACS for the zinc chromate
primer I purchased. However I was surprised to learn that although the
price is $9.70, the total cost of shipping, with the hazmat surcharge, is
$41. That's a four-fold increase in cost just to get it here! Does anyone
know of a cheaper way to acquire this product? I live in Madison, WI.

| Subject: | 701 Aileron rod horn interference |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Geoff Heap" <stol10@comcast.net>
I bought the control kit from ZAC. After assembly I see that without the elevator
wires hooked up, the torque tube is able to slide forward until the boltheads
going through the aileron rod horn 7C2-3 (and rod ends) interfere with the
top flange of the BOTTOM CHANNEL 7F6-1. In this position the ailerons cannot work.
The only scenario I can see where this can be disastrous is if the elevator
wires go slack in flight (for any reason you care to think of) In this situation
hopefully the wires just go a little slack ( I'm not even talking about
complete failure such as a broken wire). OK, but now there is no tension from
said wire to hold the torque tube in the aftmost position. If the torque tube
now slides forward about 5/16" I've lost aileron control. There is an in flight
fix for this which is not acceptable to me. Simply push the torque tube back
with my right hand and aileron control is back.
Variation in assy from one 701 to another does not alter this condition that I
can see. On page 7C2 two dimension changes for the rod horn would solve this.
Dims 25 mm and 8 mm should both be increased by 9mm to 34 and 17.
I solved this to my satisfaction with a piece of pvc tube from home depot cost
about 0.50c. OD is 1.25. I had to open up the ID to 1.135 then cut it off and
belt sand it to .30 long. It weighs nothing and hopefully will sit there for years
doing nothing as it doesn't touch anything. But one day..............it might
have a job to do. see attached

This might be a silly question, and since I have never flown a plane
with fuel injection, what do you do about mixture. Is that compensated
for with the injection? Just one more thing I would like to know for the
future. Also, pros and cons of fuel injection? Also for you 801
builders, did you buy firewall forward stuff from Zenith. How about the
prop? I'm not really an experimenter, just an assembler and trying to
make this as easy as possible.

The IO-360 engine is wider then a O-360 by a little bit. The cowling zen
ith sells will not clear the valve covers of the IO motor. You will have
to modify the cowling to get it to fit. It probably won't be a big deal
though, just fiberglass on some small teardrop bumps.... The fuel injec

| Subject: | Re: 701 Upper Elevator Horn |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: johndread@wildblue.net
Hi Ryan:
I was just working on the same part last evening. I have
noticed that none of the angles shown on the Zenith
drawings are very precise. Part of the learning experience
I suppose! The way I generated the angle for the "cut" on
the part was as follows. After locating the upper horn on
the elevator I made a mark where the rivet flange aligned
with the front edge of the spar. Then I measured 20mm as is
shown on the drawing along the flange, make a line at right
angles across the flange. Where this line meets the curve
of the vertical is where the bottom of the "cut" is
located. Draw a line from this position to the 12mm radius
indicated on the drawings. Then bandsaw and file to shape.
Hope this helps. Call me at 303-648-3261 if you need more
help.

If you decide to go with the standard instruments, I have most of these for
sale, used, from an RV-7 project I was planning before I learned that I could
not pass the medical.

| Subject: | Ballistic recovery chute in an XL |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Craig Payne" <craig@craigandjean.com>
I've been looking at the feasibility of installing a chute in an XL. The way
I read the weight and balance numbers installing 28 to 30 pounds of gear at
the rear of the luggage platform would leave you with a plane with greatly
reduced usability - especially with two adults but no luggage. Interestingly
the trouble come as fuel gets low - around 7 gallons with two FAA standard
170 lb adults. I'm basing my analysis on a spreadsheet that David X. sent
out on July 31st.
Can anyone with experience installing a chute in an XL give me their
analysis?

Lots of folks are going with the newer, entry-level glass panels. The Dynon
units are popular especially the new D180 EMS/EFIS combo:
www.dynonavionics.com/
Other candidates are from Grand Rapids Technologies, Blue Mountain Avionics
and MGL Avionics:
www.grtavionics.com/images.htm
www.bluemountainavionics.com
www.mglavionics.co.za and www.sportflyingshop.com/
I'm going with MGL's new "Enigma".

One vendor I forgot: Advanced Flight Systems:
www.advanced-control-systems.com
BTW: there is a two-edged sword with the new glass panels: things are
changing rapidly so put off choosing and ordering as long as you can (same
with GPS's). But most vendors pre-announce and have long delivery times
(Dynon is one exception). So order early ;-)
