I just thought I would let others that are worried about the 601/650 know
what fun they are missing by not building.
Here is the link _http://aerolite.camstreams.com/_
(http://aerolite.camstreams.com/) It also has a chat that I might open sometime

| Subject: | 701 Tundra wheels/brakes for sale |
I advertised these wheels about a month ago. Here they are again at a
lower price, just $750.00. The wheels are in perfect condition and
ready to install. I have also a pair of Cleveland 10-35 master
cylinders which have never been used and are in like new condition.
These are sold by ACS for $249.00 ea. I am asking $100.00 ea. If
interested please contact me directly. Thanks, Jerry

Hey all -
For anyone interested in my previous torque tube question, I have heard from Zac
and they stated, as I conjectured also, that considering the aileron cables
can be lengthened/adjusted/shortened to the rear flange on the tube and the angle
of the error (I've since confirmed it's 6 or 7 degrees off) is small there
should be no problem with the throw for the ailerons.
They offered that I could send it back for a replacement...... I'm not sure that
I will since I've confirmed only 6 degrees off, with the trouble of the shipping,
etc. Tho not a perfect piece, if it's safe it won't be seen at least so
I'm leaning toward keeping it.
Anyhoo there it is, fyi......

I had same problem with my 701. You would think this is an easy jig to
ensure exact measurement. Someone is not watching the store.

Since no one has a lead to off the shelf bezels, I'm trying to figure a
way to make the bezel without gluing it. I'll get it, but not in a hurry.

Stick some plastic wrap over the face of the instrument and stick it
in the hole. Then mix up some epoxy and fill the gap around the bezel
with it. When you remove the instrument and clean up the opening, you
should have a perfect fit to the instrument face. I can't say how well
it would work, but it might be worth a try.
The best way to avoid this problem is to use an knock out punch to
make the instrument holes. These are available for both 3 1/8 and 2
1/4 inch instruments. I borrowed a set from one of the members of my
local EAA chapter.

| Subject: | Self Leveling Laser Awesome Time Saver |
Here's a useful tip, I hope...
I bought a strait line laser a while ago, it was a total piece of crud as the bubble
was wayyyy off, I figured it was a fluke, returned it and bought another....
Same thing. Needless to say this was frustrating. I have been aware of
self leveling lasers and have used them many times at work, but understood that
they were quite expensive and I figured I'd just use my good ol plumb bob and
good quality levels I have...
RYOBI makes a great self leveling laser that was on sale for fifty bucks. This
is coming from someone who hates Ryobi, I am a Milwaukee guy. But, This thing
is AWESOME. I highly recommend it to anyone especially as you get close to
the parts where you connect the fuselage. I have it set a foot or so above the
firewall stiffenner and I have used a tape measure to check all spots of interest
for level, including wing level, twist etc. A word of caution... Never
trust one level, check it against another, and check it against itself by flipping
it around, same goes for a laser, since you can drop it and get it out of
wack, or it could get out of wack in shipping. I checked my laser level against
my bubble levels and it was DEAD on. I got my fuselage leveled up in about
an hour or so, and I guarantee there is no twist in this baby, this is much
more time consuming with a regular old level. I was able to use a wooden jig
with leveling nuts at the bottom, slowly but surely, one adjustment at a time
I finally have it dead on!
One other tip to regarding it's use, you must rock the tape measure back and forth
to get a good reading (toward and away from the laser unit). Record the lowest/smallest
number you get since it will be the smallest/shortest when you
are perfectly plumb.
Good Luck
