    Hi all, I just put up a few video's on the web site of our journey from Fl. to KY. I'm not sure if the 56 K guys will have any problems but I shrank them down as small as I could for you guys so let me know if it is ok or if I need to put a link to them one by one. Cable shouldn't be an issue. They are on the home page. _www.aeroliteproducts.com_ (http://www.aeroliteproducts.com) Jeff 601XL/Corvair Kit Built _www.aeroliteproducts.com_ (http://www.aeroliteproducts.com) _www.project601xl.com_ (http://www.project601xl.com) 502-644-8123 **************Gas prices getting you down?

    Subject: Pulling Cherry Max Rivets
    I am using 3/32" Cherry Max countersunk rivets to attach small anchor plates to the back of my skins for attaching access cover plates. Occasionally a rivet stem will break off above the factory head of the rivet. I'm not sure but I think the stem may be pulling further into the shop head of the rivet than needed. Is there any way to prevent this? Do I need to use a small washer on the shop head side? Thanks, Dave Van Lanen 601XL - finishing tail

    For some reason the cherry max flush rivets are prone to this. I have hundreds of them on my Sonex and at least 20 ended up this way. Most of them can be fix by simply tapping in the protruding piece with a hammer and nailset.

    Subject: Fuel tank caps for 601XL
    My building partner and I have discovered that the fuel tank caps that Zenith sent when screwed on do not sit flush with the wing. Apparently the vendor that sent the caps changed them without notifying Zenith. Zenith will not offer any help other than telling us to find out what other builders are doing to correct the problem. Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone know of a fix? Thanks.

    Robert, Are the caps bottoming out on the welded tank bung before the outer flange meets the skin? Lynn Corry, PA

    I had the same problem on one tank. I took a dremel tool with a metal cutting bit and cut a 45 degree countersink about 3/16" all the way around. It wasn't easy, but I did it without messing up the threads.
