Tracy,
I am building a 601 XL with quite a way to go, but I sure would enjoy
seeing your project and I would be happy to buy fuel for a ride around
the patch. I expect to be in the area within the next few weeks, please
contact me off line at: barcusc@comcast.net
Thanks;

This message is for those of you who are thinking about building
the Zenith Zodiac601XL. I have one completed and flying with 100 hours
and I will take any of you flying for the cost of the fuel we use.
Nothing I can think of will cause you to make up your mind and build
one of these aircraft like going flying in one.

| Subject: | Fw: Upper Bushing Wear - Rudder Hinge on 601 |
I've noticed some upper Rudder bushing wear on my 601 HDS after 130
hours of operation. I've replaced the bushing and reduced the end play
somewhat. The bushing wear was about .003" in the fore - aft direction.
The remainder of the wear was in the center hinge plate (aluminum). Is
anyone else experiencing this find of wear. Have you made changes to
address the issue?
Thanks

I applaud Tracy for his grand offer. I make the same offer. I'll be happy to let
a builder come fly my XL. Only exception is that my expense requirements include
a few adult beverages for the hanger refrigerator for post flight on site
emergency human re-liquidification. Bill Phillips, Thomaston (OPN), Georgia,

Has anyone built, or know of somebody that has installed the Rotax 582 right side
up in the 701?.

Hi Chuck,
Initially, I also had wear of the rudder hinge. To eliminate this, I used
brass tubing material to make bearings and expoxied them into the
aluminum brackets.
This has solved the problem. After 1,100 hours, there is not noticeable
increase of play.
Happy flying,
Klaus

| Subject: | Elevator Center Channel |
Dear Fellow 601XL Builders:
Anyone working on the elevator use caution. Maybe it will be obvious to
you, but I missed it. Before drilling your rivet line in the bottom of
the elevator (into the Elevator Center Channel/6T3-2), make sure you
compensate for this part being 20mm closer to the front edge of the
elevator. I miss drilled two holes that ended up 10mm aft and into the
curve of 6T3-2. Luckily, I was able to order a new part without having
to do anything major.... just another speed bump, I guess. ARRRGGHHH!

Robert you will have room to spare. But for added comfort add the bubble
doors. I am 5,10 and heavier then you and fit with lots of room to
spare. Wife is heavier and we fit well inside the 701.

That's all it took for me, one flight and on the way home from the airport I ordered
the plans.
