I never found the above mentioned Olfa knife at my local Home Depot of Lowe's stores
and was too cheap to pay shipping equivalent to or greater than the purchase
price of the knife. I used a regular old utility knife with great success
for many long cuts. As mentioned, the key is to clamp a straight edge on the
side you want to keep. That way if your knife wanders, it wanders into the
cut-off side.

Hi Craig,
I just did mine and torqued them to 100-140 inch pounds which is the

Hi David,
About a year ago I found a scoring blade at Lowe's that fits into my
old Stanley blade holder (picture attached).? I'm not sure if it works
as well as the fabled Olfa knife, but it works fine for me. Looking

Ok Guys and Gals,
Here is the important info. You are all invited.
The Flight Design group gets together each October for a fun few days. We will
fly Monument Vally, Lake Powell, Marble Canyon, Grand canyon and Bryce Canyon.
We take ground side trips during the day. We have other aircraft that come and
we would like to invite the Allegro pilots.
It is Oct. 16th Thursday and go home on Oct. 19th Sunday. We always have a great
time. Everyone attending is fun to be with and gets along very well.
We have a special rate at the same place we stayed last year.
Tell them you are with the "CT Group" and the rate is $49 a night. We will arrive
Thursday morning, Oct. 16th. and head home Oct. 19th. Sunday morning.
Best Western Arizona Inn
716 Rim View Dr.
Page, Az.
800-826-2718
928-645-2456
We will fly into the Page airport - KPGA.
We are staying with the Classic FBO and with our group we should get a .30 cent
discount on fuel.
Classic is not the first FBO next to the runway, but the second one behind them.
The Antelope Canyon tour is open if anyone wants. This is a land tour.
I did some checking for those who are interested. We can take a Lake Powell lake
tour by boat..
One is an evening dinner tour. It is 2.5 hours and serves Prime rib or Lasagna.
It cost $87.67 per person.
The other one is a boat tour that last 3 hours and goes through some famous canyons,
the Navajo Tapestry tour. It cost $63.52.
Orrrr we can rent 19" power boats our selves and take them out and explore the
lake and fingers. The cost of the boat is $325 a day (8am-5pm). They hold eight
people and this is only $40 a person.
Any of the boat items they would like a 24 hour notice.
These are only some ideas that I checked on. We don't have to do them and if only
some want to do them that is ok.
You guys are welcome to invite other planes that are not CT's and everyone is welcome.
Find some more LSA's.

I probably told you this before...my first flight at the ripe old age of 7 was

Later on, I was a member of the El Dorado branch of the CAP. They had an old Aeronca

Hi Raymond,
Yes, the fuel transfer switches are activated while the engine is cranking.
A point I forgot in the previous list for engine restarting:
The most important steps should be taken before the engine has fully quit.
Here is a list that seems reasonable when the engine does run okay,
say is losing rpm or runs rough or stutters.
1. If there is manual mixture control, go to full rich.
2. Turn on auxiliary fuel pump.
3. Switch tanks if fuel is alternately taken from two tanks.
If there are a main tank and auxiliary tanks: check fuel level in main
tank and
begin transfer if not at max level.
4. If there is carburetor heat and there is even a remote possibility
of carburetor ice: Pull carburetor heat. It will take a bit of time
for the ice to melt and the engine to speed up again.
The ideal temperature for carburetor ice is 68 degF OAT since the
air temperature drops by 36 degF in the carb venturi. But this is
by no means a rule. I have had carb ice with a Lycoming engine
that is not very susceptible to that problem, on a clear day with
good visibility at 32 degF OAT. Make sure that this action
is taken without delay, since otherwise preheat
may no longer work.
5. Check the oil temperature. If the temperature is unusually low or
unusually high, then most likely the engine is cooked. This is the
best tool for diagnosing a failed engine. (I did not learn this as
a student pilot, but was told about this later by experienced pilots.)
6. Check the engine oil pressure. If it is very low or zero, again
the engine is cooked.
7. (Rotax) Check coolant temperature. If excessive, engine will
fail shortly. Reduce power as much as possible while working
on landing site.
Happy flying,
Klaus

Yes they are functional, both up and down. Each side opens like a clam shell. Unless
you are really tearing into the engine the only reason to have to pull the
cowling off is to mess with the alternator and probably to remove the front
two spark plugs but you might even be able to get to them.

Hello,
The weekend before last, took place the French Fly-in at Vichy, France.
Zenair Europe displayed the new type canopy and the new latch system we hav
e seen in Jay's pictures. The European importer had also available wing roo
t fairings that you can appreciate in the pictures (the wings were detached
)
Unfortunately the canopy was closed and no possibility to get it open (key
was not around...)
Somewhat heavy pics, so I have uploaded them to the Matronics photo share,
but in the meantime I'll try to get the light version attached to the messa
ge for your enjoyment... (hope it works out!)

I have a 701/912/amphib with a warp three blade which has given me good
service for over 500 hrs. I adjust the Warp at 8.5' for general flying and
10.5' for long Xcountry flights. I'm thinking of trying an Ivo in-flight
adjustable to eliminate the required changing of pitch.
I've read some negative comments on the net concerning Ivo propellers and
wondered if anyone has had good results with 912/Ivo combination?
Please reply on the list or directly to me.

Welcome to the list Derek,- Just one little comment about you good post:
-
All acidents are important and is important that all of us (pilots,-build
ers and would be's) learn about them.
-
But also I will tell you all, that some months ago I was checking on the NT
SB (sp?) reports about most of the homebuilt accidents of each month...-
They are lots- of fatal and no fatal accidents.- Is dificult to just go
around.- like opening the news paper daily only in the police section...
-
The thing I learned from this experience (lets always learn from everything
we do) before I quit checking this list was,- That is more important to:
Learn everything I can read or listen (hangar talk wirth the "oldies" -big
-logbook pilots-)- to become a better pilot.
Learn to follow the plans and instructions of the Designer of the plane I a
m Building (or if is an RV Lodela: -Assembling :-)- -sorry for the joke
- and understand that I am NOT ready to be a "Designer in Chief" of MY proj
ect.
Learn to understand my own personal limits (in weather, manuvers, "show off
s", etc.) every time I fly, mostly once I have my own airplane...--
There are several more , but will never finish...

I've been lurking a while, and for me I can see many reasons why people get
upset to hear of a 601 crash.- One thing we all share the same passion,
we are loosing our fellow 601 drivers.- Another thing,-some don't want
to feel like-they are investing allot of time and money in building a pla
ne that would be more prone than other aircraft to having a failure.- Eve
ryone has different ways of dealing with things, and that is what makes us
different from everyone else.
I also feel sometimes people reply to others before getting all the facts,
or-even thinking about it for a while before posting.- Crashes are sens
itive area's, everyone please think about your responses before posting the
m.- Were not here to make enemies, at least I am not.
As for me,-I'm sorry-to hear of the loss, and my heart goes out to the
family and friends.- Enough said, I'm going back to the garage.

in this case you are right, but on a private mail Mirko told me they were h
is friends, and he could not understand why he was given "the welcome reply
", of couse- now his on the ZBAG list.
Regarding Rick response, you can read mine there too. For me it is imposibl
e to understand why many poeple get so upset when there is an accident.
Thanks for your email.

Alberto,
You shouldn't be surprised when a new person who says they have completed s
igns on to the list for the first time and and his question is about an acc
ident.
I'm not saying Mirko is one of them but there are people on the Internet th
at are trying to hurt competitors.
That said Mirko received 3 perfectly responsible and polite replies from Ri
ck, Jay and George. Not to mention Sabrina's post that proves that contrary
to popular belief that teenagers do, in fact, have a clue.

"Modern aircraft use a "sensitive altimeter" which has a primary needle that
makes multiple revolutions, and one or more secondary needles that show the
number of revolutions, similar to a clock face. In other words, each needle
points to a different digit of the current altitude measurement."

Bill,
I have always heard the term "sensitive" applied to altimeters that have the ability
to correct for barometric pressure (the Kollsman window) ; and "non-sensitive"
to those that didn't have that ability.

A non sensitive altimeter generally has only one needle to indicate
the altitude. It goes from zero to the instrument's maximum reading in
one sweep of the needle. A sensitive altimeter has two or more needles
to indicate altitude, usually one for hundreds of feet, one for
thousands of feet and possibly one for tens of thousands of feet. The
sensitive altimeter allows a more precise readout of altitude but
costs more than a non sensitive type.
If you do much flying around controlled airspace, the sensitive
altimeter makes it easier to avoid accidently violating the altitude
limits of that airspace.

I think the sensitive measures in 1ft increments and the nonsensitive
measures in 10 ft increments.

Carl,
Here is a link to the Airmaster Props: http://www.airmasterpropellers.com
/
It's main page has a quote from Michel Beuffe G
It looks like he has a CH701 with this setup. You might try to see if you c
an get hold of him for input.
I have thought about the IVO props also, but I am a long ways away from tha
t stage right now. (but I am always looking)
Good luck,
Keith

Subject: Zenith-List: In flight adjustable prop
I have a 701/912/amphib with a warp three blade which has given me good
service for over 500 hrs. I adjust the Warp at 8.5' for general flying and
10.5' for long Xcountry flights. I'm thinking of trying an Ivo in-flight
adjustable to eliminate the required changing of pitch.
I've read some negative comments on the net concerning Ivo propellers and
wondered if anyone has had good results with 912/Ivo combination?
Please reply on the list or directly to me.
Carl

Hello Juan;
How was you program insured? I have been trying to do a
