I haven't installed it yet but have see it in other XL's. It looks and feels great and I was impressed with the quality sewing especially on the piece that covers the armrest and forms the boot for the control stick. They also included some extra fabric which I will use to cover between the seats up top.

I have absolutely no print or manual information about installing the saddle whatsoever. I don't even know if I can install the saddle now, before the rear top fuse skins are on. I wanted to get the empennage rough-rigged and my belly strobe wired before closing in the rear of the fuse, if possible. 1. How does the saddle attach to the stab? You had one picture in the archives that had two (Bolts/rivets) located at the aft end of the saddle. I would assume, then, that you used some standard angle for a mount. Did you continue the angle and hole pattern the entire length of the attachment area or just in the area shown in the picture? 2. Once the bottom edge is contoured to the stab, I'm assuming you follow the angle of the top of the saddle to meet the spar, plus 5mm clearance for the rudder nose skin cut. 3. Do you leave the flat top of the saddle closed, or are you supposed to cut it out? You know from my experience with the outboard fairings that I hate fiberglass, and it hates me. I'll be damned if I go through 3 saddles before I get it right this time. I intend to line the saddle on the CL with the top vertex even with the front of the nose skin. Then, I'll use a spacer to trace the contour of the stab and cut the bottom of the saddle. This will allow me to lay out the rudder nose skin cut. After cutting the nose skin, I'll trace the perimeter outline of the saddle to the stab, adjust for the thickness of the fiberglass, and install standard angle to the top of the stab for as long as practical. Sound like a plan? Let me know if I should wait until the top rear fuse skins are on. (I don't think they're a factor).

HDS Fuse/Corvair ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:46:34 AM PST US From: LarryMcFarland Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Rudder cut-out You're right Bill, but you do need to put the rear top skins on before you get into fitting the saddle. Then you have the dimensions needed and the estimate of fit to make it work. Don't know anyone that's succeeded in putting it on before the rear top skin. Even trimming the rear top skin for the stab is a pain, but that needs doing too. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/rudder/full/rudderfairing.gif http://www.macsmachine.com/images/rudder/full/fitfairing.gif http://www.macsmachine.com/images/rudder/full/ruddernose.gif The rudder, elevator bellcrank and rear top skin fitted for the nose of the stabilizer, then the saddle. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/controllinkages/full/runuprear.gif The saddle is a bitch to get in until you learn to spread the sides of it as you draw it back under the rudder far enough to get the front edge under the rear top skin. You have to not trim too much from your rear top skin to allow fasteners and rudder gap and bellcrank their proper clearances. It gets close with this piece. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/controllinkages/full/bhorn.gif The two screws you see on each side screw into tinnermans on a short standard angle. The front of the saddle is fitted with 3 tinnermans and I have screws going thru the rear top skin and into the tinnermans. That was my solution to the forward and rear side attach points.

I have found that there really are three parts to the seats. These are the cushions, the seat backs, and the upholstery. My manual suggests plywood as the seat back material. The fiberglass (reinforced plastic) solution as shown on the CH601.org web site appears to be a better solution. I guess I'll just have to learn to use fiberglass. For the cushions, several types of foam are available from common soft foam to Confor Foam. Both Hi-Tech Seats and Oregon Aero have patterns for the 601 using Confor foam. Oregon Aero is more than twice the price of Hi-Tech, but includes a multi-piece seat with professionally contoured shapes. Does anyone have either installed? I checked with a local auto upholstery shop, and getting the cover done should be the easiest part. I have a couple questions: How far above the baggage shelf should the headrest portion of the seatback extend to protect our heads? Most of the pictures I see just have a large arc or simple straight edge as the top of the seat back. Is there a reason that there is no head rest? Should the seats be more like the bucket seats in a car with integral head rests? Is it just personal preference? I just measured my plane and came up with 300 mm above the shelf for the top of the headrest assuming a 3 inch foam seat over the seat pan. How do the Flightcrafters or Zenith seats compare? Thanks .... Jeff D. ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 02:15:46 PM PST US From: "Edward Moody II" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Saddle Definitely Bill. Wait until you hav ethe rear top skin at least clecoed in place so you can work out how the saddle sits on the H-stab and how the saddle's forward edge mates up with the aft edge of the rear top skin. I jumped in a separate piece of .016 to allow me to cut the aft edge of the rear top skin far enough forward so that the H-stab can be placed and removed in a vertical path compatible with the brackets. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Naumuk To: zenith list Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2008 11:23 AM Subject: Zenith-List: Saddle All- Working it out with various listers.

Fly it with the saddle in place and let it go at that. Few people find the 601s stab a problem after the build. More likely you'll find a CG problem that needs to be taken care of before testing. Make sure you get that right.

Automotive foams are cheaper and perhaps easier to get hold of at many sewing and fabric outlets. Density is something you want to pay attention to. Confor foam is expensive beyond practical concerns, but for flammability perhaps. I've a page on seat construction that may explain the process. See link below. Seat backs need only go an inch or more above the shelf or to shoulder support height. Easier to get belts over your shoulders if you don't go too high. Head rests are for the flying public and passengers but I wouldn't recommend them because of a need for access to the rear shelf during flight. http://www.macsmachine.com/html/seatupholstery.htm Good luck, Larry McFarland 601HDS at www.macsmachine.com Jeff wrote: > > All, > > I'm working with the seats now too.

Beyond surgery, part of the correction was inserting a gas bubble in the eyeball to keep the retina pressed against the lining of the eyeball. The gas was slowly absorbed and it was gone in about six weeks. But while it was there, I couldn't see through that bubble; so I had single eye vision for a while. Sure, it really eliminated "normal" depth perception, but I kept building. I keenly recall drilling the flap actuator bracket to its support, upside down, using a mirror and one good eye. It CAN be done. Please give yourself some time to adjust before deciding to chuck it. Please.

It Couldn't Be Done Edgar Guest Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he with a chuckle replied That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it. Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that; At least no one ever has done it"; But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing we knew he'd begun it. With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off your coat and go to it; Just start to sing as you tackle the thing That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.
