    I hope I am not adding to the confusion here. I am building a 601XL from component kits. My wing kit came with the Volkswagen senders but had very explicit instructions for bending and installing the senders on the inboard end of the fuel tanks. This is almost identical to the set up used on my RV. I'm trying to understand if there is a reason for installing them on top of the tank. I haven't cut the holes yet so I'm not in trouble yet.

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Edward Moody II" <dredmoody@cox.net> My wing cradles have web strapping like a sling for the nose to rest in so I didn't worry about weighing them. Two of us carried them without any strain at all.... we even had to wrangle them out through a 32" wide door onto an exterior landing and down the stairs to ground level. They were built in a workshop above my father's garage to make it convenient for him to join in the fun. My guess is we were each carrying (SWAG method employed here) maybe 30 - 40 pounds? I'd be surprised if each wing weighed more than 80 pounds (dry) but the ailerons and flaps were not on them yet so add that weight if appicable in your case. everything else was on the wing including a bit of extra skin at the inboard end because I haven't trimmed that area yet.

    Co. Hi Carroll, My guess would be that putting the sender on top of the tank offers just as much (little?) accuracy as mounting it on the end of the tank. It gives you some room for the protruding parts in the empty space over the tank near the spar. It also means the fuel will not try very hard to escape via the sender cutout since most of it is below the sender. As soon as there is a little fuel removed from the tank there is no tendency at all for the fuel to escape via the sender cutout.

    I put the VW senders in the top of my 4 tanks so that they would be far more convenient to access. But since they protrude above the top skin requiring fabrication of domed covers, if I had it to do over I would seriously consider installation in the tank ends.

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "John M. Goodings" <goodings@yorku.ca> We used the bottom of a glass jar (with a "hat brim" about 3/4 inches wide made from aluminum, plastic, cardboard or whatever) as a male mold for our fuel sender fibreglass cover. One can adjust the height, the cover has a nice low flat profile, and one can find a jar of almost any diameter. We covered the mold with parafin wax before putting on the fibreglass. We put a slight curve in the hat brim, roughly to match the turtle deck over the header tank, in our case. Later, we taped a piece of fine sandpaper to the turtle deck, and sanded the hat brim to give a perfect fit to the turtle deck curve. The final cover with a neoprene gasket was put on with 8 #4 SS sheet metal screws. It seems to work well, and looks good. John Goodings, C-FGPJ CH601HD with R912S, Toronto, Waterloo, Ottawa

    I'm not aware if the one piece plans have changed for the 701/801 since 1994. When I built I devided my skins in two pieces. A small part that wraps around the leading edge from the bottom spar cap to the top spar cap, and a second part which is removable from the top spar cap to the trailing edge. I found this to be easier to build and convenient for inspections. I also placed my fuel senders on the inboard side of the wing tanks so they are easily accessable. Carl 701/912/amphibs.

    I have ben flying my Zodiac 601HD for a couple of years now, and have recently considered clipping the last 12-16 inches off the wingtips for a little more top-end cruise speed. I'm wondering if anyone has ever clipped the wings on the Zodiac HD, and what the results were. Thanks, Rick Pitcher CH601HD - N601ZR

    Subject: Re: Clipped wing 601HD?
    Rick: You should expect that your best rate of climb would decrease, take-off distance would increase, your best glide angle would get steeper, and your stall speed would go up. Considering the overall dragginess of the HD, the cruise speed increase might not be worth the loss in other aspects of performance. Reducing the span will require building a new wingtip structure. Remembering what a pain that was for me, I know it will be quite a bit of work. Why not consider the option that Chris has given us and just retrofit the HDS wings? My opinion, speaking as a retired aeronautical engineer who has taken way too long to finish my own HD. George ----- Original Message ----- From: R.P.

    Subject: Re: Clipped wing 601HD?
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: LarryMcFarland <larry@macsmachine.com> Rick, I remember someone building the wings a couple of feet shorter and the airspeed gain was noticeable, not remarkable. All else seemed to be in the comfort zone of the HDS. Landing speed increased, etc. As a satisfied HDS builder, the taper wings do fly well. I've had to try to keep up in climb with an HD and it couldn't be done. If I had do-overs, I'd still fly HDS, but if I flew grass strips a lot, the HD would easily be a best choice.

I have looked at the one on the Zenith web site and I don't know how to edit it for my airplane. Thanks! Brian Briggerman Fountain Hills, AZ

I can take off 12" without disturbing the main spar and outboard rib. If I cut all the way back to the aileron I could get 16", but would have to remove the last rib and trim the main spar as done on the HDS wingtips. A 12" clip will reduce the 130 square foot wings by ~10 square feet. 16" will remove ~ 13 square feet. As a retired aeroplane builder, I'm not too worried about building a new wingtip structure, in fact I'm looking forward to it ;) As a retired aeronautical engineer, could you run some numbers for me? Using the ZAC website's numbers http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/601-hd.html The 130 square foot HD wing shows a stall speed of 44mph@1025# and 40mph@850# . Could you extrapolate the stall speed at 1300# ? How about if the wing were 120 square feet instead of 130? And the HDS specifications at http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/601-hds.html . The 98 square foot HDs tapered wing shows a stall speed of 54mph@1050# Can you figure out how many square feet this planform would need to be to stall at 50mph@1300# ? I guess I'm asking : If I were to build HDS panels but extend them a foot or two, what would you expect the total length to be in order to get enough square footage to stall at 50 mph? Just asking hypotheticals here, of course. I know enough to know that I don't know enough, and will proceed cautiously... of course. Thanks, Rick Pitcher

    I installed my senders in the end of the tanks as per included instructions. Using a mirror through the filler opening, I could see well enough to adjust the float to just clear the top and bottom of the tank at each extreme of travel. Access through the bottom inspection hole looks reasonable. Lynn Corry, PA 601 XL / Corvair

    The measured weights allowed me to reassure myself that three layers of 1 inch foam were plenty. I couldn't easily weigh my own wings as they were hanging from the ceiling before I assembled my moving crew. With the 3 inches of upholstery foam supporting 8 feet of the 12 foot span each wing sank in about an inch. I'm glad the extra was there to absorb any bumps on the 20 mile drive to the hanger. The wings now reside at my newly rented hanger at 36U (Heber, UT). The fuselage will follow soon. Some assembly required. -- Craig
