| Subject: | Re: 601XL Near Perfect Flight |
The following is how I understand it. Either I got lucky or I have it
right.
On the inside of my spinner I found a witness mark that developed after
the first 30 hours. The mark is a dark powdered area on the inner
spinner near the bulkhead. This implies that some motion is occuring.
This forms when the bulkhead is deviating away from the prop hub. I
reasoned that the side 90 degrees after the mark must be heavy in order
to cause the deflection. Gyroscopes react 90 degrees after the point
where force is applied. Since the heavy side can not move into the prop
hub there is no motion at that point. However the opposite side can
experience a force away from the hub but the actual movement outward
would occur 90 degrees later. As an example if you spin a bicycle tire
in a forward rotation, then tip the top of the tire to the left, you
will see that the front of the wheel also moves to the left (90 degrees
later). In my case I reasoned that the action of the front of the wheel
represents the point where I was seeing witness marks. So adding weight
90 degrees prior made sense. This line of reasoning was then confirmed
on a static lawn mower balance. I added duct tape to the inside of the
spinner with washers beneath as a trial and got an immediate
improvement.
The witness marks are an indication of dynamic balance problems so as
time goes on I will watch for any return of these marks.

I am 6'4" 200 lb, and do not fit comfortably in the standard 701. The
standard 701 has a flat roof that is much lower than the top of the wing
surface, and a raised seat pan due to the flap control rods. I plan to
continue the wing shape across the top of the cabin and drop the seat
pan to the floor and give myself enough head room for some.
In any case, if you are tall, please go sit in one. There may be other
modifications necessary if you are very leggy.

You might want to do some research, but I think the opening between the
wings serves a purpose. It allows direct prop wash to the horizontal and
elevator. If you raise the center up, with an airfoil, you will get a
little more lift but it won't handle as good at low speeds. The tail
already needs help, closing the center up might make it worse. At least
that's what I think, for what's that's worth.
My wife's son-in-law is 6'4" and 240. He doesn't have all the room he would
like, but is comfortable enough. You might do a few things I did. Move the
dash forward 2", foot petals same, thin seat foam, and don't wear a hat.
Take care, Larry, N1345L, www.skyhawg.com.

Just got mine in last week Tracy. He makes a shade 34" wide by 35" long for the
601XL. That's four inches wider than the RV7 shade and ten inches longer. I haven't
installed it yet and haven't decided for sure whether or not I'll have
it extend behind the rear canopy bow tube or not. You can either mount it entirely
ahead of that tube or cut the C-channel and have the shade span the tube
to shade the area behind the tube to whatever extent the sun exposure in that
area demands. Call Ralph or email him for more details.

FWIW 6' 2 1/2 " and 170# gives you a Body Mass Index of 21.5. The range of a

Hi Chris,
You ask about recent changes/investigations.
Here are two items:
1. The banjo bolt at the bottom of the crankcase holding the banjo
fitting of the oil
return line, several times produced trouble over the years, when the
gaskets started leaking.
At one time, the safety wire broke, but fortunately did not leave the
bolt entirely and thus
held the bolt in place. We had smoke in the cabin due to a small amount
of oil having dripped
onto the muffler. An immediate return to the airport saved the day.
Most recently the fitting leaked again, and my AP friend at the airport
cautioned me
that the banjo bolt may be stretched. Indeed it was, as was evident from
the elongation
of the four holes in the bolt.
The lesson learned here is: If the banjo bolt starts leaking, it may be
wise to
examine the bolt for stretching instead of just using new gaskets and
reinstalling
a stretched bolt. If the holes show any amount of elongation, a new bolt
must
be used. The torque MUST be according to Rotax spec.
Do NOT guess the torque. Then use heavy-gauge safety wire to
safety the bolt.
Another lesson: It may be good idea to open the heater momentarily
during the
runup, to check for the smell of oil that may have dripped onto the
muffler, say during
overnight parking, and now is being vaporized. The amount of oil may be
so small that
it did not drip out of the cowl and thus was not detected during preflight.
2. Some years back I had improved on the original design of the 601HDS
toe brakes, but this year I learned that this is not good enough at gross
weight. So, starting this weekend, the toe brakes will be redesigned so that
they become much more effective. When this is completed, I will add pictures
and a description of the change on the website. If your 601 brakes also
seem feeble to you, you may want to look and see if our changes would
work for you. The change is made difficult by the size of the main brake
cylinders and the way they have been attached. We want to modify the system
without changing the design of the brake cylinders. That way, cylinders
can be readily swapped later against new ones if that ever becomes
necessary.
Happy Flying,
Klaus

Hi Chris,
You ask about recent changes/investigations.
Here are two items:
1. Several times over the years, the banjo fitting at the bottom of the
Rotax 912 crankcase
began leaking. Each time I reinstalled the banjo bolt with new gaskets.
Most recently the fitting leaked again. My AP friend at the airport
cautioned me
that the banjo bolt may be stretched. Indeed it was, as was evident from
the elongation
of the four holes in the bolt.
The lesson learned here is: If the banjo fitting starts leaking, the banjo
banjo bolt must be checked for stretching instead of just using new
gaskets and reinstalling
a stretched bolt. If the holes show any amount of elongation, a new bolt
must
be used. The torque must be according to Rotax spec.
Heavy-gauge safety wire should be used to safety the bolt. The usual,
thin, safety wire
will not stand up to the high frequency vibration of the crankcase, as I
found
out some years ago.
It may be a good idea to open the heater momentarily during the
runup, to check for smell of oil that may have dripped onto the muffler,
say during
overnight parking, and that is being vaporized. The effect may be produced
by just a few drops of oil that are not detected during preflight. A leaking
banjo fitting may be the cause.
2. Several years ago we had improved the original design of the 601HDS
toe brakes, but this year we realized during a landing at gross
weight and high density altitude that the brakes must be further improved.
Starting this weekend, the toe brakes will be redesigned so that
they become much more effective. When this is completed, pictures and
a description of the change will be added to the website.
Happy Flying,
Klaus

Gig and all,
The "N" in the N-number needs to be CAPITALIZED.
Try http://
www.ipass.net/ginkgo/N9612home.
then add "h t m l " without the spaces.
For some reason, if I attempt to send the entire address on one line, the Matronics
system kicks it back with an advisory that you can't send an "html" or some
such.
For those that are weary of this subject: This is a link to a pristine 1929 Ford

Not having room in the budget this week, and a bleak outlook for next week, I thought
possibly some of the List might snap this up.

| Subject: | AOA for your Dynon |
For all of you who have or are thinking of buying the Dynon and think
you would like to be able to use the angle of attack indicator it
doesn't have to cost another $200. I bought my Dynon for the attitude
display and everything else was gravy. It wasn't until after I was
flying with it I even realized that it have the AOA option. Being a
builder oh and cheap too, I though $200 was a lot to pay so I looked
into Dynon's and other AOA devices. Well anyway I made my own probe,
cost nothing time about an hour or so and I can report it works great.
Attached are a couple of pictures of the installation. The trick to ease
of fabrication is that I used copper tubing, easier to solder together.
The pitot tube is at a right angle to the support tube and the
additional tube is angled 45 degrees down. To hold it I made a slot in
the circular piece of 1/8 inch aluminum, I used my mill but it can be
done with a drill and careful file work.. Mine as a snug fit to which I
added epoxy. By the way don't start on how that copper is going to
corrode with the aluminum I keep my plane inside and dry and I haven't
seen any at other interfaces in the past year.

and prop hub for rear direct drive, also new 2.3 to 1 planetary gear
box for rear drive, all gaskets and seals, new bearing for main and
cam, compufire ignition
system and who know what else odds and ends I am forgetting. New Grand
Rapids EIS with altitude, fuel flow, manifold pressure and probably some
stuff I am forgetting to mention but all the standard EIS stuff.
What I am looking for is a couple of Half VW's for trade.
Disassembled is ok but must be in good and complete condition. I
would prefer in current flyable conditon and larger displacemnt. I
would consider a 28hp model and a 37hp versions with no carbs or
ignition in trade but must be complete and in flyable (good/excellent
condition) for trade.
I am also open to a 37hp half VW complete and cash or two stroke
engine in lew of cash.
All engines for trade must be in good/flyable condtion and come with
