Hi Ron,
Have a look at 6-W-3. If you look at the spar details you will see that the spar
cap is 1/4" material, approx 6-7mm. Then the doubler which is 0.032". The cutout
needs to clear the doubler and the spar cap, hence the 10mm.
So I have used the 10mm cutout in my cutting blocks. In fact what I have done is
left that section in the cutting block and drilled the relief hole only, so
I can use the cutting block to drill the hole through the metal blank in the correct
position, then trim the cutouts later.
Hope this is not too ambiguous.
Regards, Glenn

Inside is better for me also. Most of the time I didn't cut out for
bolted items, but it will be a bear to replace someday. On the motor
side you've got oil, fuel and heat to deal with. bob U.

Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Firewall Insulation
I put insulation on the cabin side of the firewall. There's less junk
to cut out for and it can't soak up any oil and such in case of a leak.
I stuck it to the firewall with spray-on 3M adhesive and sealed the
seams with aluminum tape. I left the engine side bare galvanized but put
steel baffles around any penetrations and sealed them with Hi-Temp RTV.

I have Wick's firewall insulation, the kind with quilted aluminum
foil on one side and specular mylar on the other, with ~.5" fiberglass
insulation between. I plan to put it on the engine side of the
firewall. Of course, it will have to be cut and fitted around all that
junk on the firewall.
1) What is the best way to stick it to the firewall?
Hi-temp RTV silicone? Pliobond? Hi-temp two-sided tape? Wick's
recommends weatherstrip adhesive.
2) What should be used to seal the seams?
3) What to do at the nose gear strut?
Cover it with a barrel shaped piece? Ignore it?
Advice appreciated. Flame - NOT. :>D

Dave, the mod drawing shows an extension spring labeled with a CZAW part number,
does the CZAW plans include any details or spec for the spring? I'm working
on the tail now and I will need to incorporate this mod but I can't find the parts,
does Zenair Europe stock them.

I've been fighting this one for some time now - I think I am getting
somewhere at last!
I finally contacted Lawrence Lewis (long 'phone call!!) who suggested I
phone CZAW direct and ask to speak to Monika. Her reaction was immediate
"yes, you should ahve been supplied with the kit, I will arrange for it to
be sent out to you at no cost".
I have just this minute received an E-mail from her to say it is in the
paint shop and will be sent out next week.
If you are building from plans, I will be able to give more information on
the spring when I get it.
So if you are building from a kit, I suggest you contact her.
Monika's E-mail is m.polaskova@czaw.cz
It may be best to phone her first, the No. is +420-572543456
Since this is only of UK interest and probably rather boring to our US
friends, feel free to contact me off-list on

| Subject: | Re: 601HD new prop time |
To my mind, a major factor in choosing a new prop is ground clearance. We
have a Rotax 912S with a 68" GSC prop which we like very much. This gives
us at most 6" of clearance from prop to ground. I wouldn't want to go
into a grass strip with less clearance than that. We cracked a blade tip
taxiing in on grass from the paved runway 30/12 at Orillia/Lake St. John.
Since it only cracked one tip, it was probably a stone sucked up. But it
certainly focussed our attention on ground clearance!

Thanks for the reply Glenn.
Was kind of thinking that the gap did not need to be a wide as it was. Mark
Townsend (CanZac Aviation) also explained this to me.
The idea you had for your cutting blocks is a good one!
Thanks again for the reply

| Subject: | Re: Upgrade for Garmin 296 Color GPS |
OK, I did some checking around on this one too. I talked to Garmin and this is
what I learned. When the 396 came out Garmin switched to a new screen which
is now used in the 296, 396 and 496 models. The new screen is brighter and can
be replaced for a flat rate of $250. You must contact Garmin (800-800-1020)
and get a RMA# before returning the unit for service. Turnaround is typically
5-10 business days.
How do you know if your 296 has the new or old screen? If you bought yours before
the 396 came out you have the old screen. The 396 came out around summer
2005.
Is the improvement that great? Read this excerpt from a review of the 396 in Plane
and Pilot magazine.....
"Like the earlier GPSMAP 296 (see Tech Talk: Garmin GPSmap 296, P&P, September
2004), the GPSMAP 396 offers a vivid, color, moving-map display, but unlike the
earlier model, the new system is far more resistant to wash out in bright light.
Its a full 70% brighter than the screen used on the previous model. Thats
a major improvement as, despite the GPSMAP 296s other talents, the moving-map
display can become difficult to read in bright-light situations. The GPSMAP 396s
480x320 display is clearly visible in virtually any light without losing map
detail. Garmin says backlighting has been improved, and the new screen reduces
reflectivity, but the bottom line is a more vivid, easier-reading display."
$250 might be a good investment.....

| Subject: | Re: Jab Dual Throttle Setup issue |
John,
I had the same problem. I did grease mine, and
that helped a little. The heavy wire inside the dual
throttle cable housings, tends to want to curl in one
direction, and it helps to rotate the cable inside the
housing so that it curls the way you need it to
deflect. I ended up extending the center leg on the
bellcrank about an inch, and mounted a bracket to hold
the center cable adjuster on the front of the shelf.
Now the dual throttle handles only have to travel
about 2", and this gives me the needed 2 1/2" travel
at the carby and eliminated the rough spot in my
throttle. I still have just a little more friction
than I would like (because of the drag of the co-pilot
throttle cable), but I think it will be acceptable.
Be sure and check out Lance Gingell's site to see how
he mounted his.

Allright People!
here is the latest on 427JV"rivet". at 2950 rpm on my Jab 3300 we are getting
at 2000 ft, 295 to 345 on CHTs, EGTs read 1290 to 1320 at 2950rpm. Speed at 2950
is 130 mph. at 3200 it picks up to 145 mph. and EGTs and CHTs go down further.
May change the needles on the bings, but hard pressed to do it based on the EMS
numbers. FUN plane to fly!! At take off you punch to full throttle and at
70mph pegged I 1400FPM climb! that is on 20 gallons and 220 lb pilot, 20lbs luggage.
In decent you trim for 70 mph on final an shy squeeks in smooooooth!

I have some holes (intended for A5 rivets) that are larger than they should be.
Usual practice is to "go up to the next sized rivet".
I see A4 and A5 rivets available everywhere. But no A6's.
Anybody know where I can get good quality A6 rivets...?
