The "industrial strength" heat gun (resembles a hair dryer) may provide enough
heat to do the job.
Possibly you can beg, borrow, steal an infrared temperature sensor (Sears, etc)
to check progress.
It has been eight or nine years since I re-positioned one, but I did use the heat
gun and just don't recall that it was a big deal.
Bear in mind that when originally installed the Loctite was liquid and the big
guy on the wrench was doing the "mechanical" tightening......you'll be working
against that AND the Loctite; therefore the need for heat to defeat the glue.

Steve,
Closest Airport is Libby Army Airfield. It's joint use with the City of Sierra
Vista. Three runways, longest is 12,001 feet (capable of taking the space shuttle).
Don't let the restricted airspace dissuade you-- listen to ATIS. R doesn't
exist when the tower is closed. If open, call approach well out and they
will clear you in. Best way is to come down Hwy 90 from the Benson area. There
is a cutout in the airspace up to 7000' that you will see on the chart. Key
reporting point is the "North-Y" shown on the chart north of the airfield. From
you location, you could come east via Sonoita and under the R shelf (below
7000', only the closest in segment touches the ground). You probably can't come
direct because the western end of the airspace is where the Army does UAV training.
If no UAVs are up, approach will clear you direct, just gotta ask. The
circular restricted area SE of Sierra Vista is an aerostat. Big cable underneath
it to the ground and it is always active.
Please come on down. I'll send a phone number off-list. I'd love to see your
project. We've got a good EAA Chapter here.

Thanks for the info. Tells me kinda where your house is. Have flown into

The update on Libby's airspace is a big help. Fought wildland fires all over
that area too!
Will post to net next time I plan on flying that way in the 600. Once it is

Hi;
I have rotated these nipples on the 912S by heating them with a heat
gun. Use a wooden dowel fitted to the inside of the nipple to get some
leverage to rotate them. It is not a difficult task.
Have fun.

Hi Dave,
The current kit includes a large door in the fuselage bottom. I went
ahead and built mine according to the plans without adding anything
in that area.
I am currently working on the center console between the seats and
wonder how I will access the cable terminations contained there. I
am also trying to figure out how to give good access to the rear of
the instrument panel. Many builders have taken different actions in
both of those areas, and the plans still don't include any features
for access to these areas after the plane is built.
Good luck,
Paul

As Paul mentioned the new kit has a large rear access door on the bottom. I got
the kit from Zenith and added it and it has made things a lot easier during the
build.
I made one change to the design and the change. I did away with the hinge. There
is really no reason for it and it just gets in the way when you are going to
use it. For photos go look in the fuselage section of my website.

The pro side of the rear panel idea is that you can easily use platenuts and screws
to make a slick opening in one or the other side skin back there and gain
wonderful access to the lower elevator horn area. The down side is that's a bad
place to add weight.... very far from the CG. Bottom line is that Chris Heintz
didn''t feel it was needed so it is an elective thing. If you are adding something
elective to the plane, throw it up in the air...... if it comes back
down it's probably too heavy.

Hi folks
Does anybody know of an XL that has a glider towing winch installed? Are there
any plans for this installation? And how about stress/load analysis data?
There are quite some LSA planes here in Europe that are used for glider towing
(e.g. Remos), but I am not sure about the Zodiac XL.

| Subject: | 701 wing spar caps |
Ok, I'm going to start building my wing spars. As most 701 builders know, the
cap angles (7V2-2 & 3) are a non-standard thickness, special made for Zenith (from
what I've heard). I have heard other people using 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/8" angle
for the caps, instead of the .093" thick, which is what I want to do. I will
be asking Zenith approval for this, but I was trying to figure out the new solid
rivet length. Using 1.5 times the rivet diameter as the length protruding
before riveting, I came up with 6.144 sixteenths of an inch for a rivet length.
(AN-470-5-6.144) Does this mean I use AN-470-5-7, or is it close enough to
stay with the AN-470-5-6? What have others done?

If you look back in the archives this has been covered several times,
Zenith approves (or at least Chris did to me in a letter) the use of
3/4"x3/4"x1/8" extrusion 6061-T6 in place of the .093. The weight
penalty if you use the 1/8" throughout the airplane is about 4# if
memory serves. I asked if any strength was gained in the wings and he
said no. Use whatever rivets give you the proper finished shop head,
not trying to be cute, sometimes things don't work EXACTLY for some like
they do for others so it's best to do a couple samples with what looks
close and adjust depending on the results. Have fun, John

You know how you get attached to things, tools especially. Well this came to me
over the holidays and I must say it has made everything come together easier,
just like it's name.
I keep it near the work area and use it all the time. I boosts the ego and calms
the nerves also.

| Subject: | what to do with my pitot |
I am building a 601XL from a quick build kit and will be nearing the point
where I have to make some pitot decisions. I plan to put in the Dynon D-100
and their website shows an optional pitot that gives angle of attack. My
question is if I am building VFR do should I do it?
I would welcome any comments from those of you who have actually used this
set-up. From the looks of things the AOA pitot uses an angle of attack tube
and a pitot tube but no static tube so I suppose I would have to make my own
static port. The pitot that comes with the kit already has this but will not
work with the AOA. Any real experienced answers would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi Skip,
I feel your pain.
The AOA has nothing to do with IFR flight. It is used to tell you
how close to a stall your plane is. The notion (I haven't tried it
yet, but I have been lectured continuously for a year or two by
several of my local chapter members) you use the AOA to adjust your
approach speed to allow minimum landing distance without getting too
slow so you stall and crash. It automatically adjusts to different
aircraft loads and weather conditions so you can fly close to the
edge and get maximum results. It also can be used for minimum speed
takeoff and climb.
I think you can purchase the probe from Dynon for installation before
you are ready to buy the big expensive electronic box for your
instrument panel. This is probably a good idea since they will
probably improve the box in the time between your pitot installation
and your first flight. It is best to put off the purchase of any
electronic stuff until you really need it.
I can't give any great advice on the static port question. It is
somewhat a black art to determine how to position one or two of these
things to give you unbiased airspeed and rate of climb
readings. Surely you don't need to do it the way the kit is arranged
to get good results.
Good luck,
Paul

WOW, I could use one of those right now! As a matter of fact, I could use
about 10 of them positioned strategically around my fuselage. That would make
me feel better.

Skip,
I was going to begin fabricating one last night but have the same problem you have.
I will be following Pauls suggestion and getting the Pitot / AOA from Dynon.

To all you 801 builders I have a question. ZAC lists the wing chord
measurement as 5'3". I don't have my slats or flaps installed. It looks
like it is about 48" or so without them. Do any of you know the actual
measurement with everything put together?
Thanks,
Dave in Salem
