| Subject: | Re: Workshop Space / Shed Construction |
I'm, building my 601XL in a self-built (from plans) 12' by 20' wooden barn with
an 8' ceiling an loft. I certainly wouldn't want to go any smaller than that.
Everything was completed in the barn and moved into my garage after completion.
The fuselage is still in the barn, but I am outgrowing it. I won't be able
to install the engine, main gear, or rudder there. I can't complete the canopy
installation either because there isn't enough headroom for the tilt. Soon I
will be trading spaces with everything stored in the garage.
I have a couple hundred photos at this site:

You may be able to get an idea of the space.

Hello to all,
I am building Zodiac XL TD configuration, ANAC here in Brazil ask me for three
view drawings to register the project. I am looking for linear measure
between tail-wheel and main gear wheels.
Sorry, my english is weak. Attached drawings can show better what I want.
Thanks!

I'm near completion of my CH-801 kit, N63VK and would greatly appreciate any means
to avoid reinventing a POH.
Thank you in advance for any leg up on this stage of the project. I have PDF versions
of various POH's for other aircraft. Would be very apprecative of a editable
starting point, best if 801 specific .

Robert,
I've been using a product called Clear View in a spray can and
microfiber towels to polish and
clean the canopy. It works great and the microfiber towels can be
bought at any local Farm & Fleet
or automotive store. Just water with microfiber towels works well for
removing bugs too.

Hello group ,has any of the 601XL scratch builders on this site bent
their landing gear .If so ,is it a process they would do again or would
they buy it from a source .I have priced the blank piece from Trident
,they quoted a price of $213.00 .The price from ZAC is $570.00 for the
finished product .Is this something that can be done from home by
welding up a fixture and using hydraulic pressure . Thanks Wade Jones

| Subject: | Re: Canopy cleaning |
Tracy,
Over the years I've tried many products and finally settled on a cleaner/polish from LP Aero http://www.lpaero.com/accessories.html
There are many good products out there which would work just as well, but often
the other aspects of window cleaning are ignored.
You must remember that the plastic of the canopy will easily scratch.... using
paper towels and sponges is often the equivalent of going at it with fine sandpaper.
If you ever did a microscopic exam of a paper towel you would find small
particles of grit embedded in it. There are some new ones specially made for
cleaning plastic (DuPont Sontara AC Window Wipes) but I haven't tried them
yet.
The procedure I recommend is to use plenty of preferably warm water (with a drop of dish soap added to break surface tension) work the bugs off with your bare fingers and wipe with a piece of clean 100% cotton flannel. You can then use the damp cloth to apply the polish and then wipe it off with a dry one. I had my wife buy a couple of yards of flannel and cut it into 1 foot squares which I store in a big ziplock bag. You will never eliminate all scratches but you can slow down their accumulation. LP Aero also has the full text of their maintenance instructions at http://www.lpaero.com/CAREINS.pdf
Good luck!
Tim Juhl

| Subject: | 601xl gear bending |
Wade,
I have contemplated the same thing. I calculated the minimum pressure
required to bend the 3/4" x 8" 6061-T6 would be about 12 ton. The hydraulic
press brake I can use at work is only 9 ton so I've been looking for an
alternative solution.
I received a quote from Zenith for part #6G3-1 at $720. If you can get it
for $570, grab it. The complete gear assembly...Spring Gear, Nose Wheel,
Main Wheels, Brakes, Tires, Tubes, Master Cylinders came to $2,000.
Consider if you make a bend not quite perpendicular to the edge, you have
just scraped $213 of aluminum you can't repair. I think I'll get another
quote from Zenith and if they say $570, I'll buy it and save myself a lot of
work and frustration.

Robert,
The Clear View can be ordered from Aircraft Spruce and it's as good as
anything, but
microfiber cloth is the more important choice because it's used to
polish anything acrylic
and it doesn't scratch at all. Slightly more cost, but they are also
washable.

Aircraft Spruce carries it. $3.95 for an 8-oz. spray bottle or $10.90
for 64-oz. They also carry the Novus #2 and #3 for light and heavy
scratch removal. I've also used those with good results. Other places
sell Novus plastic polish but A. S. seems the have about the lowest
price.

Subject pretty much says it all. I've been interested in the 601XL for years,
and am once again shopping for a "next project". I'd love to see one of these,
and hopefully get the chance to at least sit in one. A ride would be almost
too much to hope for, but I sure wouldn't turn one down :D

| Subject: | Ram Subaru Conversions...Good? or Bad? |
I was told you guys on the Zenith list might now a little more about the Ram Engines
subaru conversions? Here is what I am looking at: I am building a Kitfox
and am having trouble deciding on an engine. I could go with the tried and
true Rotax 912 but I want a bit more power and performance.
A couple weeks ago, I cam across Ram Engines and their subaru conversions. I like
the looks of the EA81 conversion they do that reportedly puts out 140 hp.
The specs on the engine put it just slightly heavier than the Rotax but with
40 more horsepower! That has got to be good right? Well, I have heard some bad
things about subaru conversions but I believe that most of them stem from the
NSI conversions that has since gone south. I called and spoke with Ron at
Ram Engines and he seemed to be very nice and extremely knowledgable.
Now the question: Does anyone have any experience with Ram Engines? How does
the engine run? Is the weight as specified? Have there been any major problems
with the engine? Etc.
I am looking specifically for information about the engines and the experience
with Ram Engines from a customer support standpoint. I am hoping you guys may
provide more insight as I like the looks of this powerplant.
Thanks,
Darin

Well, the subject says "near Pensacola FL". Specifically, I'm in Navarre, FL,

| Subject: | Fuel Filler Neck Woes |
I'm posting this in the hope that others may be spared the problem that I faced
with my fuel tank filler. About two months ago I installed capacitance type
fuel level sensors in my 15 gallon ZAC made tanks. Deciding it would be a good
idea to test for leaks I put about 5 gallons of fuel in each one, screwed the
filler neck in by hand, installed the cap and set them aside for a couple of
weeks. There were no leaks and after I drained the fuel out I went to remove
the filler neck. The left tank came apart ok but the neck in the right one
moved about half a turn and stuck. I and an A & P mechanic friend tried everything
we could think of but in the end had to carefully cut the filler neck
out. It was almost like the threads had welded together, even though I had used
oil on them before installing. For what it was worth, I had noticed a couple
of spots that turned a little harder when I screwed it in.
I contacted ZAC and they informed me that they would put me on the list to borrow
the "big tap" to clean the tank flange's threads out. It was a few weeks
before it was my turn but when it came this week I used it successfully to clean
up the threads in both tanks. When finished, the new neck (almost a $70 part)
screwed in and out very easily.
Today I installed it using a thread sealant and it when on very nicely. I would
recommend to anyone that if your filler does not turn in easily that you may
want to clean up the threads before trying to install. I've heard of other builders
that have had similar problems of freezing threads and it can be costly
in time and money to repair.

I had a similiar problem and solved it by making a tool out of delrin that fit
the filler neck and was large enough so I could apply the required torque to
remove the filler neck.

Hi Mark,
William appears to be in Jacksonville, FL, which is about 5.5 hours away. It would
be well worth going there if I had any interest in using a Corvair engine,
but that's not part of the plan. Hopefully, there will be something a bit closer.
Thanks,
Rusty

I'm near completion of my CH-801 kit, N63VK and would greatly appreciate any

Thank you in advance for any leg up on this stage of the project. I have

Also if you are serious about this it would behoove you to travel to
Sun-N-Fun. Aside from the factory's planes there should be multiple builders
and XLs there. Yes, I realize it is 6.5 hour drive. But this is a big
investment.

| Subject: | Official Zenith-List FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) |
Dear Listers,
Please read over the Zenith-List Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below. The
complete Zenith-List FAQ including the Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Zenith-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle
Matronics Email List Administrator
[ Note: This FAQ was designed to be displayed with a fixed width font such as
Courier. Proportional fonts will cause display formatting errors. ]
This FAQ can also be viewed in HTML online at the following address:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith-List.htm
************************************************************
******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS *******
************************************************************
PLEASE READ. This document contains Zenith-List policies and information
for new and old subscribers. Understanding the Zenith-List policies will
minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the Zenith-List
running smoothly for all of us.
******************************************
*** Quick Start Guide to List Features ***
******************************************
There are many features available on the Matronics Email Lists and each
one is described in detailed below. However, using the List Navigator
you can quickly access the complete set of features available for this
List. The List Navigator can be found at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Zenith-List
****************************************
*** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe ***
****************************************
Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and
select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You
may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of
your email address as it is subscribed to the List. Please see the
complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information.
The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is:
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption
process. The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request
was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed.
You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request.
The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post
until you receive the second conformation email message.
*****************************
*** How to Post a Message ***
*****************************
Send an email message to:
zenith-list@matronics.com
Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed
to the List.
*****************************************************
*** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post ***
*****************************************************
When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message
is checked and compared against the current subscription list. If the
email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor.
If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it
is dumped. This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that
gets posted to the Lists.
Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important
with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook
or Eudora. For example, the following two email addresses may be
functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM
test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List:
smith@machine.domain.com
smith@domain.com
Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure
your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to
the List.
**************************************
*** Enclosure Support on the Lists ***
**************************************
Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets
is supported on the Lists. There are a number of restrictions, and these
are detailed below. Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the
content of enclosures.
These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics
Lists:
1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the Lists.
2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists.
3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site.
4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives.
5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature.
6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed:
bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls
All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to
sender. The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from
a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk.
7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting
to the List. This is done in real time and will not slow down
the process of posting the message !!
Here are some rules for posting enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules
could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists.
1) Pay attention to what you are posting!! Make sure that the files
you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there
are still people checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post
30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these
folks and the rest of us, for that matter.
2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000
pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just
unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture
down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the
file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less.
Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows
you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically
scale it down and resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it!
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Look for the link "Image Resizer"
3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not
post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother.
And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even
questionable. !!
4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members
subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting
to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and
BE COURTEOUS!
Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share where
you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web server
for long time viewing and availability.
*******************
*** Digest Mode ***
*******************
Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started.
This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended
to the archive file. It has all of the headers except for the "From:"
and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting
of a line of underscores.
Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be
combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list.
To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form
described above, and just select the Digest version of the List.
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions
of the List at the same time. This is perfectly acceptable.
Now some caveats:
* Messages sent to "zenith-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard
email list. In other words, you cannot post messages only to the
digest List.
* If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you
will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of
the day.
* If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the
normal list associated with the digest. Important Note: Please change
the subject line to reflect the topic of your response! Also, please
*do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*.
****************************
*** List Digest Browser ***
****************************
An archive of all the List Digests can be found online in either plain text
or HTML format. These archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to
the Digest email list on the given day. The Digest Archives can be found
at the following location:
http://www.matronics.com/digest
*****************************************
*** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag ***
*****************************************
At times, your message may concern something that is revelent only to a very
small number of persons or to a limited area, and you may not wish to archive
it. In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the
message:
do not archive
Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List
email distribution as normal.
**********************************************
***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes *****
**********************************************
Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced
email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly
removed from the List. If you discover that you are no longer receiving
messages from the Zenith-List, go to the following Web page, and look
for your email address and a possible reason for your removal.
The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that
automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that
caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox
full", etc. If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the
Lists you will find record of it at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed
If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel
free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice.

content. The Forums contain all of the same content available via the email
distribution and found on the various archive viewing formats such as the
List Browse, etc. Any posts on the web Forums will be cross posted to the
respective email List, and posts to the Email List will be cross posted to
the web Forums.
You may view all List content on the Forums without any special login.

*** Matronics Email List Wiki ***
*********************************
In an attempt to make it easy to store and find structured and often accessed
information, Matronics has installed a Wiki at:
http://wiki.matronics.com
The Wiki allows individuals to create web pages to contain useful information
for other users of the mailing lists and web site. Unlike an ordinary web page
where the content needs to be submitted to Matronics for inclusion, the Wiki
permits the users to construct their own pages and have them visible immediately.
While constructing pages for the Wiki is not difficult, some may not be
comfortable building pages. In that case, simply prepare the text and any
images and email it to:
wiki-support@matronics.com
One of the volunteers on that list will take your submission and construct
a Wiki page for you.
Often someone produces a particularly useful posting in email one one of the
Lists that would be of general interest. In that case Matronics may take that
post and convert it into a Wiki page.
*********************
*** List Archives ***
*********************
A file containing of all of the previous postings to the Zenith-List is
available on line. The archive file information is available via the
Web and FTP in a number of forms. Each are briefly described below:
* Zenith-List.FAQ
- Latest version of the Zenith-List Frequently Asked Question
page (this document).
* Zenith-Archive.digest.complete

*** List Archive CDROM ***
**************************
A complete Matronics Email List Archive CD is available that contains
all of the archives since the beginning of each of the Lists. The archives
for all of the Lists are included on the CD along with a freeware search
engine written by a list member. The CD is burned the day you order it
and will contain archive received up to the last minute. They make
great gifts!

*** List Support Contributions ***
**********************************
The Matronics Lists are run *completely* through the support of it members.
You won't find any PopUpAds, flashing Banner ads, or any other form of
annoying commercialism on either the Email Messages or the List web pages
associated with the Matronics Email Lists. Every year during November
I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month,
I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they
are comfortable.
I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the
Fund Raiser to increase the participation. The gifts are usually donated
by companies that are themselves List members.
Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists
including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server
system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many
many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the
variety of services found here.
Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary
and non-compulsory. I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains
value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude.
Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just
subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in.
The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below. There are
a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and
sending a personal check.
If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to
support its continued operation?

Zenith-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Zenith-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Zenith-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Zenith-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Zenith-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
