I think they are working out the details and formalizing the agreement. He told me that he would not be selling Zenith canopies direct anymore, just through Zenith. I bought my canopy just prior to Sun-N-Fun. As far as contacting Todd, he always answered the phone number listed on his web site whenever I called him.

The terminal labeled "To Starter Contactor" also feeds your buss (or at least it does mine, which is a single battery system). If you have Express SCH, I can send you my wiring diagram off line.

Good luck, -------- David Gallagher 601 XL, working on final assembly. Thanks for the information Dave (and all that reply). While I was at Zenith picking up my wing kit, I took a ride with Roger in the 601XL demonstrator. The first thing I noticed when he closed the canopy, it hit my headset. If I was able to order my canopy direct, I'm sure Todd would be able to give me either more height or width on the canopy so this annoyance would be solved. I also was wanting a canopy made of Lexan and have a light tint on it. I'm wondering if Todd or Zenith are going to be offering to make these adjustments? It will be interesting to find out just how they are going to handle this. If Todd or Zenith won't offer to help the pilot custom fit the canopy to what he wants (or in my case needs), I will be looking for a different supplier for my canopy. I will not fly an airplane that I will constantly have to tip my head to the left or right so it won't hit my head.... Thanks again for the reply.

I used the S701-1, which works in my schematic, but it might not work in yours. Jay in Dallas "Geoff Heap" wrote: > >Thanks for the info guys >which one do I want.

I even cut mine down a bunch and it still sits taller. I am 6' 00" and with my seats at about 4-5" thick, I do not get bonked by the canopy with headsets on. See the picture attached which is about the best I can do to compare the two. Mine starts up on a steeper angle in the rear and has more height in the head area. I have no actual dimensional comparisons. My ZAC canopy hardware kit worked just fine with the Todd's canopy despite the differences since the tubes are made extra long anyway. I am guessing that you will be happy with Todd's canopy. -------- David Gallagher 601 XL, working on final assembly.
