      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.

      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.
      
      Hope that helps,

      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.

      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.

      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.

| Subject:  | Clipped wing 601HD? | 
      
      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.

      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.

      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.

      Does anyone have a sourse for a POH for a 601XL? I would like to have 
      something I could edit for my airplane. I have an O-200 so it will be 
      different than than most. I have looked at the one on the Zenith web 
      site and I don't know how to edit it for my airplane.

      Hi Rick;
      I considered that option at one time but coverted to the HDS wings 
      instead. A fairly easy conversion and much more speed.

                        If you look at the www.pfa.org.uk  Web site under 
      engineering you will find a link to the testing of Homebuilt Aircraft 
      manual from FAA for download in PDF format and also documents for flight 
      testing requirments for Permit to Fly renewals etc for UK aircraft.

        CH 200 build number 250 has become a flying aircraft after a build 
      process of more than 25 years, with long interruptions.
      
        It is powered by a O 200 .
      
         
      
        Where could we find a good example of a flight manual, checklist, test 
      flight program or similar documentation that would help us in taking 
      good care of the bird.
      
         
      
        Thanks.

       I talked to ZAC a few days ago about a couple of different ways to do the 
      clip. 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.

      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.

      Thanks for the ideas guys. I'll have the wire bundle exit the yoke, through a grommet,
      just under the hinge  to minimize the cable movement.
