| Subject: | Wing Skin to Fuselage Gap Question |
I am working my 601XL wing installation to the fuselage. So far I have trimmed
the wing skin back far enough to get the wing bolts in. What have you guys found
to be the optimal gap for the kit provided seal? The drawings do not mention
anything and I could not find anything in the archives.
Thanks,

Heat will help to remove any type of self adhesive product most of the time. Just
take a blow dryer or even better a commercial hot air gun to heat the tape.
The heat will cause the glue to soften and the tape can be easily peeled off.
Be sure not to overheat the area and burn the paint. Doing this on a hot
day helps too. It might be that the hot weather caused the problem in the first
place. I agree with an earlier post about the 3M product being a superior
product. Aircraft spruce has it. I recommend that you do replace it especially
if you wear crocs to fly. Crocs are as slick as owl dung smooth wet surfaces.
That early morning flight after a heavy dew could become quite painful without
the non skid surface.

We first flew our CH601HD with bare metal for a few months in 2003. Then
it was (professionally) painted, and large pieces of non-skid material
were applied to each wing root. They have not deteriorated at all in 4
years, but the aircraft is hangared. There was no change to the cruise or
climb speeds. We fixed our slight heavy wing problem very easily. We
added a fixed (but ground-adjustable) trim tab to the right aileron; it
was about 10 inches by 2 inches, bent down slightly about 20 degrees.
Since then, the aircraft flies hands off. It is NOT necessary to change
the trim tab with 1 or 2 people in the aircraft; it has remained the same
since we first installed it.

I've wondered if putting the wing walk tape or spray or paint on the port wing
is why there are complaints of "left wing heavy". Must play havoc with the air
flow.?

| Subject: | Elevator bias spring |
I think this is a query for anyone building in the UK, as it concerns a
PFA mandatory mod.
The PFA insist that we install a link between the Flap torque tube an
the elevator horn to apply a pitch bias when the flaps are lowered.
I have the drawing for it, but don't have the facilities, (or the skill)
to do the machining and welding needed. (the welding presumably has to
be done by a CAA-approved welder).
How have other builders dealt with this? CZAW don't want to know and
Zenith don't reply to e-mails. Since it seems to be a UK-specific mod, I
guess they wouldn't be able to help anyway.
Any advice welcome!

The drawings give the measurements for marking and cutting the wing skins at their

to use those measurements?

Dave, I gave mine about a quarter of an inch. This will allow
for any flex in the wing and if you use the rubber strip, it will easily
cover the gap.

Rick,
Thanks for the 1/4" suggestion. I am about there now so I will hold tight until
I get ready to install them for real.
Tim,
I originally cut my skins to 10mm longer than the numbers given on drawing 6-W-9.
In trimming bit-by-bit during my trial fitting, I have probably taken at least
15mm off putting me 5mm on the other side now. Drawing 6-S-3 shows the fit
of the rubber seal, but it's just kind of floating out there with no suggested
gap.
Thanks guys,

[Rolling Eyes] I am a new owner of a Zodiac 601 HDS The A/C has a TTEA of 150 Hrs..
The engine is a Rotax 912 UL # 4401716..I am used to Lyconing engines but
Rotax is new to me. Lately I have noticed that the oil pressure is higher than
what is specified in the manual. It is supposed to be 22-72 psi , when I am
turning about 5000 rpm it fluctuate over 80psi. I can't find any thing about
it in the trouble shooting about high oil pressure..Is there any body out there
that had a similar problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated...Ed

Has anybody tried using rivnuts to hold the canopy to the hoops instead of
the self-tapping screws? I've got a few stripped holes and wonder if rivnuts
could be used for repair or in the original build. One problem I see is that
the shoulder of the rivnut could be a stress point. The self-tapping screws
hold the canopy against the smooth hoop.

Craig, At Oshkosh this year I noticed the factory
assembled 601XL in the Sports Planes area had soft
aluminum pop rivets holding the canopy to the tubes
and the side frames. I talked to the factory guy who
said they were having no problems using the soft rivet
with aluminum body and mandrel.

It would be more simple safe and easy to drill all the way through the tube and
engage a K1000-6 nutplate. It would be a lot less esthetic but the ugly nutplates
could be camouflaged by dressing up the tube with a split rubber hose to
cover it from underneath. A big advantage of a nutplate is its locknut action
allowing you to have it hold tight without tightening the screw hard against the
plexiglass.

Interesting idea. I'm surprised you got enough threads in the tube's thin
wall to hold. Any pictures?

I was at Mexico last month and took a look at the CH 750 and it does have
slats. The biggest difference I noted was the baggage compartment with
windows, the heavier gear (much wider), different brakes, narrow tires
(possibly just for flight testing) and the O200 Continental. Other than
that I could hardly tell the difference.
BTW, I had the good fortune of attending the "Gathering of Mustangs" last
Saturday. There were 109 of them. What a hoot!!!

I wonder if the extra holes would appreciable weaken the tube more than just
the single row of outside holes? But then again the riveted nutplate would
strengthen the hoop.

| Subject: | Re: Non-Skid Tape, Heavy Left Wing, etc. |
Thanks John, Sounds good .Where did you locate it on theaileron. ? and if
you put a tab on the rt. side at 20o down why couldn't you also put a tab on
the left aileron at 20o up ? , wouldn't that balance or split the load
between the two ailerons? Also what do think the bottom line cause is for
the heavy left wing is? It seems to be a common thing,and why to the left?
do you think that wing walk material can really cause that effect or any
thing like low wing, left or right... Thanks Joe N101HD 601XL/RAM

| Subject: | Re: Rotax 912 UL high oil pressure |
HI Ed, welcome to the list, a couple of suggestions
have been made about a faulty pressure transmitter.
That is a good thing to think about but it might also
be temperature related.
I'm not flying my 912UL yet but one thing I have heard
about these beasts is that they have quite a bit of
oil cooling capacity. Is it possible you are running
the oil temp too low and causing your pressure to be
on the high side?

| Subject: | 601XL - Aileron/Flap Trailing Edge Alignment...? |
Are the trailing edges of the Aileron and the Flap aligned with one another when
both are in the "neutral" position...?
I'm getting ready to drill the hingeless ailerons on my 601XL, and I've also got
my flaps sitting there next to them, just to give it an "eyeball" check.
The measurements seem to check, but it just doesn't look right....
Anybody with a completed wing that can give me a sanity check on the measurement
between the trailing edge rivet line on the wing and the leading edge rivet
line on the aileron?
Is your entire trailing edge "one smooth line" across the ailerons and flaps...?
Thanks!

Hi Ed:
One thing you might check :
I had what I considered to be low oil pressure, so I added two washer-like shims
under the oil pressure spring in the oil pump housing. Now, I have WAY enough
oil pressure. Perhaps the previous owner did that too???........Fred 701 912UL

| Subject: | Hanger land lease |
For those of you who asked, I was only able to get two land lease quotes.
The Wichita Municipal airport is quoting .21 cents per square foot per mo
nth
A small public airport in the area is quoting .06 cents per square foot
per month. Add the cost of a hanger, from fifteen to some thirty thousan
d
and it becomes a substantial expense.
With the thousands of builders completing their projects, housing them at
an
airport becomes more of a problem every day.

Mine did not line up, not by a long shot. It was so far off (probably 20mm) the
hingeless attachment was not possible. I got ZAC to send me wide hinges and
and a doubler, and converted to hinged ailerons.

| Subject: | Re: Getting Rid of Non-Skid Tape |
Juan said:
"do the best you can then tape it off and use truck bed liner spray over the
area."
Years ago I had an all aluminum fishing boat (19ft). It had traction strip
tape all over the deck when I got it. Most of it was pealing just like your
picture. I used my thermal shrink hot air gun (for shrinking tubing around
wires and covering model airplanes) and slowly heated up the tape and it
pulled off very easily. I had no paint but agree that too much heat might
burn the paint. Take your time and be careful.
After the tape was removed, I masked it off and used truck bed liner paint.
I found that masking tape didn't pull off very well after the liner paint.
The paint was too thick and the masking tape just tore up. I had to use a
razor blade to cut the edge of the paint at the tape. I tried duct tape and
it worked wonders. It was strong enough to "cut" the paint at the masking
edge. Get a new roll with clean edges and be sure to seal them well as with
all other masking. The stuff lasted well with a great deal of abuse until I
sold the boat 4 to 5 years later.
Good luck,
Dave Thompson

I made mine like the top view on 6-W-00 considering all other views show the flap
and aileron in the neutral position it seemed like the logical choice.
