From: "Gig Giacona" I was wondering if anyone makes a gizmo that would go into the flap circuit that would allow a single momentary push position the flaps into 10 then a second would move it to 20 and so on? Obviously the same going the other way. I could live with a gizmo that just ran applied the power to the flap motor for X number of seconds either down or up for each push as long as X is something I could set. -------- W.R.

From: "DaveG601XL" I will be there all week working as a volunteer EMT picking up dehydrated spectators. Obviously a big ditto on drinking a lot of water. Good walking shoes is also a plus. I have transported a lot of women in high heals to the parking lot over the years due to blisters. Buy the convention guide when you get there and spend some time looking at the forum and workshop schedules. You obviously will not have time to do everything you want to do, but at least you will have choices to plan around. Have fun! -------- David Gallagher 601 XL, working on final assembly.

For the first time, this CD archive allows a Zenith builder or pilot to have access to the entire wealth of information and history available in the complete library of newsletters. It was quite an undertaking - each and every back issue was scanned onto an easy to use CD disk. Using modern computer technology, this provides some amazing capabilities. In addition to providing direct access for reading each issue, the most useful feature of this technology is the ability to search for a word or words across the entire library of issues - within seconds! This capability means that you can quickly locate any topic in the library of newsletters by typing in a keyword in the search box on your screen. For example, by entering "Memo from Chris", you can quickly navigate to each article that Chris Heintz has contributed to the newsletter. Another example: typing in "edge distance" took me to an article from Chris about correcting a problem of having too little edge distance while building. The possibilities are endless - and - it is a lot of fun to search for those forgotten and hard to find articles from builders over the last 30 years of Zenith aircraft building! Each newsletter is in its own PDF file on the CD which means you can display each newsletter page on your computer screen and make the typeface as large as you want for easy reading. You can also print any individual page to create your own hardcopies for easy reference. The latest copy of Adobe Reader is included so that no special software for your computer is required. You may be up many nights reading these back issues for the priceless information about all things Zenith as they apply to your project. Further info is available at www.zenair.org ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 11:52:39 AM PST US From: "Craig Payne" Subject: RE: Zenith-List: Re: Flap Controller: Does anyone make this?
