When you fit the middle balance fairlead on page 6-B-22, you install it onto a 20mm L angle which backs onto 6B5-1. Allowing for the hole at about 5 mill away from the L angle that means the cable through the fuse would run 25mm from 6B5-1. When you side balance cable fairlead nylons, its hard up against 6B5-1. So the cable instead of running parallel to 6B5-1, It tapers forward from the center Balance fairlead to the side fairleads. Is this the way its supposed to be or can I move the side balance fairlead hole back making the cable run parallel to 6B5-1? I just wanted to check before I drilled my forward side fuse holes. Chris.

LOL. Did you cut the other one the same say to make it 'even' and add a trim piece to that too? Do you have a better picture? I can't really see the fix.

One question: I see that your forward top skin above the instrument panel is screwed in place for easy removal. I am doing the same with mine. I see there is a rivet in between each screw on the forward and aft rows. What is the rivet for and what does it attach to? Thanks, -------- David Gallagher 601 XL, tail & wings completed and fueslage pretty well done. Working engine and electrical systems.

Even if you don't plan to fly in the clag, sometimes it happens. Some TC radio stacks use hollow panels that mount beside the radios and flow cooling air through the panels. Just some thoughts.

Tube type radios (yes I've been flying that long) sometimes had cooling issues but with modern avionics it shouldn't be an issue. As long as the air can circulate freely behind the panel you should be fine.

Just let me know. Bill -----Original Message----- From: cookwithgas Sent: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 12:41 pm Subject: Zenith-List: Re: N5SL - another flight video Bill: I have a few more hours of flight training before getting my sport pilot ticket. Four to be exact. I passed the written test and built an airplane, now I just need to be legal in the airplane for a CFI to finish my lessons. 23 hours more to go for phase I - The plan is to finish them off in February, then finish lessons and do my check ride in March. Guess how hard it will be to schedule my airplane for a lesson compared to one of those $#%!@#$$ rentals. Oh, and did I mention I get to pick my CFI instead of getting whatever loser commercial pilot wannabe that is in line for the next lesson to build his hours at my expense? I had two of those start training me only to let me know they would be leaving me to work on their "twin-engine" hours toward the demise some other poor guys checking account balance. After the second one I decided to wait for my airplane. The above paragraph is my experience only and may not reflect the character of all commercial pilot wannabe losers.
