| Subject: | Prop flange extension |
I'm building a 601XL, Jabiru 3300, Sensenich composite prop and FWF kit
from USJabiru.
The instructions and the Homebuilthelp video all refer to fitting a prop
flange extension, but I don't have one, should it have been supplied
with either the engine, or the FWF kit? Neither of the packing lists
refer to it.
Why is an extension needed and where can I get one?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Ron
I've been thinking about the single handle brake but I'm not far enough
along to have to make a decision yet.
I have flown many Cherokees over the last forty years that were equipped
just that way. We have several Challengers and a least one Weedhopper at our
local strip that have Black Max brakes. They have a single motorcycle type lever
on the stick. Also if you look close at photos of Van's RV12 prototype it
appears to have a brake lever on the stick also. Since ZAC designs don't have
castering nose wheels I don't really see why it wouldn't work.
Like I said I'm not there yet so I have plenty of time to think about it.

I probably fly the same Tecnam you do with the center brake. I hate it. Its hard
to get used to. The other thing I miss by having the center brake is the
individual brake control over each wheel. It makes it difficult to do a sharp
turn around when you can't hold pressure on just one brake - like the Cessna
150-152's I'm used to flying. I'm looking forward to having that individual wheel
control back again.

I would suggest contact the supplier(s) and ask them. It could have just been

Hi Dave,
I too received the FWF from UsJabiru. The prop flange extension was
wrapped in bubble wrap. Total package size is around 6 inches around
by 3 inches tall.
I suggest you check your pile of bubble wrap to see if one of the
pieces is a lot heavier than the others. If you didn't get the part,
I'm sure Pete will supply it to you.
Happy Hunting,
Paul

You can go to any snowmobile dealer and buy just the engine, It will be
new and ALOT cheaper then the whole sled. We do it all the time when bui

I've got 100 hours in a nose wheel castering Grumman Cheetah and 100 hours
in a 601.
The free castering nose wheel is no big deal on landing, taxi or otherwise.
The plane can turn in its own length (as opposed to whoever said the
"steered" nose wheel is "more maneuverable." Some Grumman types use this
feature to make parking maneuvers every bit as showy as a tail dragger.
Two things: Yes, you might wear out the brakes faster with free castering
(never seen as a factor by the Grumman Gang) and yes, it can weathervane and
"look funny" if you're flying in formation.
As I said, it is no big deal.

| Subject: | RE: Zenith-List Digest: 601XL - Making More Leg Room...? |
There is an option to move the channel and pedals forward two inches. I moved mine
forward the full two inches and had to trim ~ 1/2" off the lower engine mount
fittings. I got a copy of drawing with the option from ZAC when I was there
picking up parts. It does make a big difference in leg room.
Craig S.
N601XS, 601xl lyc 0-235, waiting for spring to finish wiring
Has anyone moved the Rudder Pedals or the Rear Bearing Channel (6B8-3) forward
so as to provide increased leg room on the 601XL?
Looking at the drawings, it appears there is little leeway to move the Rudder Pedals/bearings
forward, hence the idea of moving the entire Rear Bearing Channel
assembly forward.
The obvious limit on the forward side would be interference with the firewall.
Immediately aft of the firewall are the Lower Engine Mount Fittings (6B6-5).
Perhaps the rearmost bolt through the Lower Engine Mount Fittings could also
pass through the Rear Bearing Channel and still leave sufficient room for full
rudder pedal travel?

The way the description reads in the photo-share they are generic parts from
a third-party:
"It can be purchased from JB-Custom Fabrication on E-bay. This particular
boot is used on certain Jeep models for the twin shifters. It costs around
$26.50 plus shipping. Good news is you only need to buy one and carefully
cut it in half. The following steps describe the installation:
1) Call up this Internet location > http://stores.ebay.com
2) Look for the following part > Twin stick shifter boot, Bronco / Jeep /
Blazer / Scout(Embedded image moved to file: pic19629.gif) and order it."

Most of the snowmobile dealers I deal with are SERIOUS motorheads and ra
cers. They love the thought of pushing the envelope so the aircraft issu
e is not a deal breaker. The Yamaha dealer I got my steering rod boots f
rom was so impressed I had researched it to the point of knowing the pa
rt number that they all wanted a ride in the "beast". They never had hea
rd of experimental planes. It is fun to turn good people on to aviation
and better yet the homebuilt side of it..
Happy New Year guys.

I noticed a post recently that just touched on the subject of insurance.
Are there issues with insuring an exp. plane with a non-certified
engine? If so how do you get around it.

Just tell them it's for a 'high-clearance' off-road vehicle that you're
building.

Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Snowmobile
Most of the snowmobile dealers I deal with are SERIOUS motorheads and
racers. They love the thought of pushing the envelope so the aircraft
issue is not a deal breaker. The Yamaha dealer I got my steering rod
boots from was so impressed I had researched it to the point of knowing
the part number that they all wanted a ride in the "beast". They never
had heard of experimental planes. It is fun to turn good people on to
aviation and better yet the homebuilt side of it..
Happy New Year guys.

John,
It's not so much a "won't insure" a non-certified engine, but the
insurer feels much better about good engine installation and
documentation that provides enough inertia to get the Airworthiness
Certificate after doing static run ups etc. These are a good standing
indicator that the engine will provide reliable service. Some
underwriters don't go for
anything uncertified, but these aren't the people the Experimental types
go to for insurance.

Can you suggest a couple of company's? I still have a ways to go but I would
like to get an idea on the cost and have it lined up when I am ready.
Also I have looked at your site and like what you have done. What is the
cost on the radiator cowling kit?

"Randy, if you really want to test this thing, try saying something like
"I would like to try an unimproved engine" or something like that. Then
you will know if it works, I can guarantee it. And, you would start a
very interesting dialog. Not too many of us are going to get into
"test". Do not Archive, LRM www.skyhawg.com."
OK, it's New Years Eve and you asked for it!
The attached definition I found in a 1953 Webster's Collegiate
Dictionary
When I read it I couldn't dismiss the uncanny similarity between the
levels of "fools" and the levels of Homebuilders and Pilots.
But I am having trouble determining how the various definitions apply.
At my home airport we have pilots and homebuilders who have:
"lack of understanding and reason"
"absence of powers which when developed make for intelligence"
On our tower frequency we have many who are:
"incapable of coherent speech"
Watching them takeoff and land, they are obviously incapable of:
"avoiding the common dangers of life"
We have many who are completely supervised:
"in his work and recreation" mostly by their wives!
But after reading these definitions, I now know what it means when
people come up to me and say:
"Randy, you are a "NATURAL" Pilot! I always answer; "Duh, Uh, thank
you, thank you very much, Duh".
I've been trying to determine if the various levels of homebuiders,
i.e.:
Kitbuilder; building a professionally designed and furnished kit,
Scrapbuilder; building a professional design from plans
Amateur; who designs and builds his own airplane with no training,
education or experience,
correspond with any of the attached definitions?
What a surprise that there are five distinct levels of "fools"!
Where do we all fit in?
Happy New Year and apologies in advance,
Randy, Las Vegas, a "Natural" writer
