General Electric website http://www.ge.com has a video on Oshkosh. There is a 601 taxiing in the begining of the video.

They travel a lot to promote the products. I had to go through three ADI's before they got it right, but they hung in there with me and took care of it. Andrew Barker is the General Manager (andrew@trutrakap.com).

Yves Rossy leapt from a plane at around 8,200 feet (2,500 meters), fired up his jets and made the 22-mile (35-kilometer ) trip from Calais in France. Rossy passed over a thin strip of land in front of South Foreland lighthouse, looped over onlookers and opened his parachute, his wings still strapped to his back. "It was perfect. Blue sky, sunny, no clouds, perfect conditions," he said. "We prepared everything and it was great." The trip across the Channel is meant to trace the route of French aviator Louis Bleriot, the first person to cross in an airplane 99 years ago. The lighthouse was the site of Guglielmo Marconi's experiments with radio telegraphy in 1898. Bleriot used the white building as a target during his pioneering flight, the building's manager, Simon Ovenden, said. Several hundred spectators rushed to greet the pilot, trying to take photographs with cameras and cell phones. "It's a remarkable achievement, we saw the climax of his attempt as he came down to earth with his parachute. It's been an exciting afternoon," said Geoff Clark, a 54-year-old onlooker from Chatham, in Kent. The carbon composite-wing weighs about 121 pounds (55 kilograms) when loaded with fuel, and carried four kerosene-burning jet turbines that kept him aloft. The wing had no steering devices - Rossy moved his body to control its movements. He wore a heat-resistant suit similar to that worn by firefighters and racing drivers to protect him from the heat of the turbines. The cooling effect of the wind and high altitude also prevented him from getting too hot. Mark Dale, the senior technical officer for the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association, described Rossy's flight as a "fabulous stunt." www.jet-man.com -- Craig ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:47:16 AM PST US From: Grant Corriveau Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Tuft testing Great photos -- helps explain why my aileron trim at the inboard edge of the aileron is not effective enough! Will have to move it outboard. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:35:43 PM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Re: No Title From: "wa7dvd" I spent considerable time installing the Tru Trak servos in my XL. It seems that the rudder cables were located differently in rev 1 drawings and the pitch servo fits with the cables that position. In rev 2 and rev 3 drawings the rudder cables were moved (I believe to reduce cable interference with each other) and the pitch servo does not fit. I originally installed the cables as per rev 3 drawing. To make the servo work I moved them back to the original position and then installed several extra fairleads to make sure to make sure the cables do not interfere with each other. Everything seems to fit now. Here are some photos of what I did.
