Sent out the check for my jab3300 today. Has to be in by Friday to get the price
before the devaluation kicks in. About 2 months before I was planning but what
the heck.
I certainly hope most of the cooling issues have been worked out. Also hope the
new homebuilt videos cover this area of cooling a little more.

Good News! Its seems to me that the cooling posts at least have died down. I have
to admit that the 3300 was my first choice, but for the cost. Maybe if I'd
let another hobby go.... nope thats not going to happen, so auto conversion for
me :D

I'll second (or maybe third or fourth as I didn't count) the split drill bit comments.
I use to have a side business building custom electrical panels and the
Split points outlast and out perform the chisel point ones. Plus as stated they
don't require pre-drilling a pilot hole.

if you go to aero news network, on their video news section, there is a news report
of a 110 hp Diesel (run on anything) engine. Looks quite simple to work
on and within the prices of competition.

Hi Greg
I just got my upholstery from Czech Aircraft Works (my 601-kit was originally provided
through them). The upholstery is the one that skyshops is selling: Very
nice quality (I have the leather option) and good workmanship. The side panels
still need to be done by yourself, the precut-leather with side pocket is included.
Cheers Martin

| Subject: | Holes in smaller ribs |
Hi scrapbuilders,
I notice the 601 XL plans don't show tooling holes in the smaller ribs, i.e., 6-T-3
1, elevator ribs, yet keeping them centred when forming them around blocks
is tricky.
I have seen some people drill them, so I assume it's okay. And I know some of you
have formed the straight edged ones with the bending brake, but my test pieces
on the triangular shapes have so far turned out uneven too.
Any tips?
Thanks, Glenn

Greg,
I purchased standard fabric seats, door upholstery, and the bubble doors from skyshop,
and was happy with the quality and workmanship.

| Subject: | Re: Sealed Batteries -- AGM or Gell |
I spoke to a manufacturer (also can't remember who) when selecting a battery in
2006. I remember concluding that AGM (abosorbent glass mat) had little potential
for leak even if punctured, low resistance, and best performance in the cold.
I do also remember being warned that they don't hold up too well in a hot
engine compartment. Starting to remember also something about avoiding long
term trickle charging, but not too confident I'm remembering correctly.. Been
happy with mine (14AH? Geez, can't remember a thing) and it spins over a cold
912S with the original weak starter, from behind the lower hatch in the rear
fuse. Now if only the 912S charging system could actually charge it below cruise
rpm with the lights and stuff on..

| Subject: | Holes in smaller ribs |
A photo will help me to understand your problem.
I dont do any hole in the ribs when I formed it. I press it with C clamp
and a filing clamp, independently of the size of the ribs. I put C clamp
somewhere that I dont have to remove it when I formed both side of the
ribs.

For all of my smaller formed pieces on my 701 I've drilled #30 tooling holes through
the forming blocks and piece being formed and then used my old #30 drill
bits through the holes to keep things aligned. Clamp it in the bench vise and
bend the flanges over.
