    Subject: 601 crash in Australia
    From: "Thruster87" <alania@optusnet.com.au>
    TWO people have been found dead after their ultra light aircraft crashed into a ridge north of Charters Towers during a two-week Gulf of Carpentaria flying safari. Police located the wreckage of the crashed Zenith Zodiac 601 about 11am after a full-scale two-day air and ground search in north Queensland. Both the pilot and passenger, of Cessnock in New South Wales, are understood to have been killed on impact. Fellow aviators in the club flyout - involving eleven aircraft - were too upset to speak about the loss. Club president Keith Rule told The Courier Mail they had lost two very good friends. He declined to publicly release names of the victims until family have been notified. He said the flying conditions had been perfect and they were at a loss as to what caused the accident Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=192610#192610

    I like it much better being able to separate airframes. But the cross posting is annoying for the same reason I like it. I do think that it should be structured as as sub lists under the main of Zenith though, it would make searching a just like it was and give you fellas a feeling of wholeness, I guess is the word I'm looking for.

    Mirko, Rick, who is a gentleman, has published a series of 6 issues on the kitplanes magazine where he describes the building process. Thanks to his article, I=B4ve decided to buy a kit and start an XL project. I=B4m building my plane and if there is anything we should know I=B4m pret ty confident that ZAC would let us know.

    Looks fine to me. I am also thinking of this. It is encouraging that you took a stab at it and it turned out pretty nice. I wish Zenith would address this on 701s. Some one at Zenith has to have a family member who can sew upholstery, it would be a great side job for them.

    From: "Ron Lendon" <rlendon@comcast.net>
    Dave, What are the length and width of the base of the light you want to use? What is the length and with of the light mounting base on the wing tip from Zenith? If the base of the wingtip from zenith is short in either direction you can easily build up the areas with more fiberglass. I do recall you saying you have little skills, well here is an opportunity to learn by doing. Most all of this stuff is an improvisation keeping structural integrity and safety foremost in your actions. The light mounting is not a structural part other than it holds the light fixture and deflects air. Give it some thought about how you want it to look, draw it up if you can. There is a lot of satisfaction in in creating and executing your own design changes. Get with your EAA tech consoler and talk it out, I am sure they will have some suggestions and may even show you how to do what you want. I think the EAA motto is "See, Learn, Do". I think you can see what you want, now learn how, then do it. Feel free to ask more questions, -------- Ron Lendon, Clinton Township, MI Corvair Zodiac XL, ScrapBuilder ;-) http://www.mykitlog.com/rlendon Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=192756#192756

    Also, Lori is the one that makes the canopy covers for the 601. I am wondering if she has thought about making them for the 701 as well.

I am also thinking of this. It is encouraging that you took a stab at it and it turned out pretty nice. I wish Zenith would addres s this on 701s. Some one at Zenith has to have a family member who can sew upholstery, it would be a great side job for them.

    Do Not Archive Alberto... Juan does have a serial number, 6-6430. I would not appreciate someone challenging me like that either and may well refuse to respond to a similar demand. Juan has a beautiful airplane and is rightfully proud of it. Wild speculation not only hurts the value of all our airplanes unnecessarily, but it can be very irritating. Sometimes I think it best for novice builders to follow my lead and do more listening than writing until they have at least one bird in the air. I followed this list a couple of years before posting much of anything. I could not have built my plane without it. There are so many great builders out there that we rarely hear from any more. I hope we are not driving them away. Those overly concerned about the design should hold off such discussion at least until after Air Venture and our one on one and group discussions with Zenith. Again, I want to thank the list--hope to meet you all at the Zenith dinner. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=192789#192789

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed that the youngest member of the list and the 601 builder community, is also apparently the wisest??? Sabrina, Whatever you decide to do for a career, let me know. I'm gonna buy stock in that company. You will make a difference. You are an impressive young lady, and a number of us could do well to take a lesson on how to act, and how to build airplanes at the same time Looking forward to great things from you :D Larry Whitlow 601XL (yes I have a sn its 6-4507) 73% done 51.24% to go Valparaiso IN (really close to Chicago) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=192793#192793
