Relatively few Velcro strips on the carpet. The carpet is thin, light,
rubber-backed, indoor/outdoor, cheap and very nice. The same carpet was
used on the floor, side walls, and baggage shelf. The upholstery is slip
covers over the foam cushions. The (expensive) foam and upholstery
material are fireproof.

I did this recently and just used Velcro. It allows the Upholstery to be
easily removed to get behind the seats and have full access to the center
console. It also make it easier for cleaning ....

| Subject: | XL Nose Gear Strut: 4130 vs Plastic ??? |
Drawing 6-G-1 shows that the Nose Gear Strut is capped with a welded 1/8" plate
of 4130 steel (see picture).
The nose gear strut in my kit has a plastic top (see picture).
Anybody have the same thing? If so, how did you attach the 6G2-3 Stop Plate?
Thanks,
- Pat

Pat,
You are among the lucky fortunate! You have a new kit that no longer uses
the top plate as a bearing surface. The top just floats up and down thru
the opening. The plastic cap keeps dirt and loose parts from falling in.
It is wonderful to not have the issue with the 'old' style where you prayed
that the top bearing and bottom bearing came to rest at the same time!

I contacted Zenith on this same thing and they said this is the new style
that has the bottom bearing and welded stops on the strut to take the place of
the top stop.

I used 3M Super 77 (just a little, this is powerful stuff) to attach the
soundproofing, upholstery and carpet. I used velcro for the seats and
seat backs.
Plane hasn't flown yet so not sure how durable it all is. On my last kit
the supplier recommended clear silicone for all attachments (including
some Al-Al joints). That stuff really held.

Same strut here. I am about to call Zenith in the next few days to inquire about
the same issue. Guess I don't need to now.

All-
Since there's absolutely nothing in the achives, I've decided to
post the following:
To smooth out the top skin/front hoop, hit the edge with a body
dolly, not the hammer.
Pictures attached.
Good building!

| Subject: | The 650 - I'm in love |
So, I didn't get to fly - didn't expect to - but I did get to sit in
the 650 today. I'll be upgrading my plans next week. I love the new
canopy, besides being a safety feature, it make entry and exit much
easier. I have plenty of headroom. It just feels much more solid. I
can easily fit my legs under the panel, which was an issue
previously. That may have to do with weight loss, but it seems like
there is a bit more leg room. I'm not wild about the dual sticks as
my legs interfere with full aileron deflection. in fact I'll probably
go with a single straight center stick (not the Y).
This plane is absolutely loaded. Standard 6 pack + Aspen EFIS, Dyson
D10 engine monitor, Garmin 530, 2 axis Tru-trak autopilot. Very nice
panel layout. Leather interior. Dual breaks. The interior was much
nicer than any other LSA I've seen, I've seen a bunch of them at S&F.
Kudos to AMD for fit and finish.
Ron

Where's the autopilot hiding? I couldn't find it in the panel pictures I
saw.

They got my interior right, and I'm quite pleased with it (as well as the
paint and graphics).

Its on the far left hand side of the panel. It's a round 2 1/2" (?)
