Friends,
Yesterday N2630J =9CLil Bruiser=9D took to the air for the first
time!
Scott Severen, test pilot for IndUS Aviation, flew her for about an hour.
=C2- Scott told me that he was thoroughly prepared for an unsavory experie
nce. Once in the air, though, he was pleasantly surprised and said he really
had fun doing the flight.=C2- He was highly complimentary about the fligh
t characteristics of the airplane; it was very easy to fly and everything wa
s as it should be.=C2- The Corvair engine performed strongly and flawlessl
y. I don=99t have all the numbers, but Scott reported that all tempera
tures and pressures stayed in the green, with RPMs up to 3200 and speeds up
to 120 mph.
The not-so-great photos were taken by me from the chase plane, an IndUS Thor
pedo flown by Ed Bandy.=C2- We flew out of Eagles Nest Estates (2TS6) and
Scott did several touch and goes at Mid-Way Regional (JWY).=C2-=C2- Over
all, a Great Day for me and =9CLil Bruiser=9D.
Jay in Dallas

Zenair Newsletter update:
Good news... the video is starting to roll in... you will LIKE what will
be shown on the next DVD... it is truly incredible to see into the
workshops and backyards of fellow builders that are working on the same
thing you are....!
But, we need more! So let me ask again:
Get out your video camera - or - that footage you have already shot, and
send it to me soon.
I know you have a camera in the closet that you dont use that often....
get it out and take 5 or 10 minutes of showing off your shop and project
underway.... get someone to help so you can be in the picture.... show
something unique or funny... send me the tape and I will send it back so
you can add to it next time.... dont be afraid... I will edit/condense
as necessary....There is so much going on out there -- but you need to
send it to me...
Already have some video you already submitted to U tube? Send the
original to me (for full TV definition) and I will allow everyone to
watch.. (a lot more Zenith builders have a DVD player than a U-tube
ready computer setup!) I can even leave your name off the clip if you
want it that way.
Here's my address, please send now!

| Subject: | 601XL Aileron Skin Rivet Pattern Question |
The diagram at the left-center of plans page 6-W-2 specifies the rivet
pattern for the front of the aileron skin to the front flanges of the ribs:
3 rivets A4, pitch 25mm from the top, then 22mm to each of the next 2
rivets. However, this does not look like the correct rivet pattern for the
aileron tip (6W2-4) because it has a longer front flange. I do not see any
notes in the plans specific to the rivet pattern for this flange, and I have
an older kit without the pre-drilled holes. Could someone who has the
pre-drilled holes please check the pitch and number of rivets and send me
this information?
Thanks,
Dave Van Lanen

| Subject: | 601XL Aileron Skin Rivet Pattern Question |
Dave,
I just measured mine, from the top for the mid position ribs 12mm, then
35mm, then 35mm (3 rivets). The end rib has 15mm, then 42mm, then 52mm (3
rivets). These were predrilled holes.
Hope that helps.
