The oil is put on the crank after the process to keep it from rusting.
When I put the crank on the lathe to polish it up and test it for
straightness oil actually spun from the oil passages. So I had to wonder, how
"heat
treated" could it be if it didn't even get hot enough to burn the oil out?
Well at least I know it's straight.

I see there is a 701 w/100hp Rotex posted at Winter Haven Airport, Winter Haven
Florida. It belongs to Bob Chase 863-299-3412.

Larry,
thanks for this tip, I didn't think about it
>I'd recommend you place the wing forward of the area you assemble the
>aileron so that you can trim to fit progressively
What really amazes me all the time :
how in the world do you always have the correct pictures at hand in the correct
stage of build [Shocked]
Did you wear a camera helmet during your building hours or what [Laughing]
I really try to keep visual evidence track on my building but I am far away from
you yet...let alone finding the right pics again....
Greetings from Germany
Peter

Hi Peter,
As a designer from weapons, structural systems and material handling,
the 601 was one of the best projects I've ever been involved in.
My web site only repeats what I'd found so useful on other Zenith
builder sites and it nearly got out of hand. Pleased you find my site a
worthwhile visit.
There are lots of things I've tried to improve in there that make
handling, transport, weight & balance, etc., easier, but the credit goes
to Chris Heintz
for providing the momentum of such a great light plane.
This plane is such a joy to fly!
Take care,
Larry McFarland

Hi Jeff,
Yes I can confirm the motor mount issue. Al and I double checked the
firewall angle with a digital angle. We measured the engine angle on the
plane and it measured 2.7 degrees down. Al and I spent the afternoon
shimming and playing around with it without success. We thought of shimming
the lower motor mount attach points to the fuselage and we would of had to
pull it back more than an inch.
I sent the mount back to Tennessee and the factory confirmed the problem.
The people at Jabaru are first class! They said they would return my mount
to Oshkosh (seeing that I live a mile or so from the airport). They used it
in the Jabaru booth for display. I am putting the mount on this week and I
will confirm with everyone when it's mounted.
If I had a welder here at home, and I was good enough to fix such a critical
part, I would have. I thought it was better to have the factory take a look
at it.
I did learn one thing! trial fit the mount first before you paint. I spent a
lot of time priming and painting it before I fit it! Real bad move! I plan
on building everything firewall forward first, then a complete disassembly,
then paint and polish.

Larry,
your macsmachines website has been a great help to my project this past year.
I used your idea of the screw on Panel top and its proved a good choice. Thank
you for your website.

I am selling a assembled 701 kit. Plane is finished but needs: doors and do
have the Lexan and frames and firewall forward. It has tundra tires,
header and wing tanks and spring gear. A Subaru EA81 engine is included
(non-running) but would need to be re-built. I do have it listed on
Barnstormers. The asking price is $17,000.

That would have to be a pretty strange process given that the outside of the crank
was dry.

It probably was the oil the crank shaft was quenched in after nitriding.
