After a short time, the elbows of the system failed and I got stainless steel versions from Zenith. Then I finally decided to replace the entire system with a single muffler, with exhaust pipes and muffler made of stainless steel. But I kept the old system: stainless steel elbows and the two mufflers of carbon steel. The latter had to be made a bit smaller at one end due to the cowl. But it all is there and still works. If you like, I can mail you everything if you pay for the shipping charges. Please let me know very quickly. I am leaving town the coming week and will return in early November. Of course, if there is no time pressure, everything could be done in November. Best wishes, Klaus ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:47:35 AM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Zodiac Builders and Pilots From: "N117FA" Hello, I offer Sport Pilot training and Insurance checkouts in the Maryland area using the Zodiac CH650Lsi.

As for how to prevent chafing, wrap the loop and any other threatened segments of wire with some appropriate diameter plastic spiral wrap then secure it with cable ties. I enclosed my brake lines and some wiring in the center support channel under the cabin by making a cover for that channel. I even wrapped my brake lines with spiral wrap within that channel. If you see extensive chaffing on the spiral wrap, it is fairly easy to replace it rather than re-wire.

I have not seen a Kitfox or an Avid Flyer pilot fold the wings for overnight storage, towing home, etc. yet! I custom built a hangar with private individual accommodations (with roll-up doors, etc.) for these aircraft 15 years ago. As of this date I have not rented these spaces for a wing-folding aircraft. Most pilots don't want to go through the trouble. Mack P.

Still listed with pictures on the AvidFlyer.com site, it was one of the best aircraft I ve owned. (see AvidFlyer.com owner/builders) Because of sharing a hangar, I folded the wings almost daily. I got it down to three minutes per wing.... Figuring the cost of a hangar in San Diego, the trouble was waaaay worth it...... I moved to Arizona, where the online pictures were taken, and did sell the Avid so I could build a Zenith 601XL. Build? Thats what I do.
