The stock size 8409 crank has been polished, magnafluxed and modified per Flycorvair.com specs. It has NOT been nitrided. The 3878566 heads are very rebuildable. One head has minor repairable damage from 2 dropped valve seats. Cylinders are nice and need only minor honing. The rods are good cores for rebuilding. All other stock Corvair parts required for flight modification are included. I have purchased the following parts from Flycorvair.com which are also included: Deep Sump Oil Pan Oil Pan installation kit, including modified pickup Rebuilt Rear Oil Accessory Case Hybrid Studs & safety shaft Rebuilt, dual bushed distributor, missing the points plate I will also include a #167 Harbor Freight air rivet puller with Zenith modified heads and a CD that includes 4-years of research on building a Zenith 601 and Corvair engine. This research includes webpage favorites, extensive parts Excel spreadsheet and Microsoft Visio stencils for aircraft panel design. Also included are printed, three-ring binder copies of the following: FAA AC20-27F Certification and Operation of Amateur Aircraft FAA CAC 43.13-1B/2A, Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection & Repair FAA H 8083-1 Weight & Balance Handbook FAA AC90-89A, Flight Testing Handbook Total invested over $1600.00, asking $800.00 or best offer. I will pack for shipment on a pallet. Buyer pays shipping. I prefer Southern California pickup. I will not sell any of the parts separately. Buyer should either have or purchase William Wynne's conversion manual. Any interested parties please respond off list. I will email a complete detailed parts list of what I have which also includes parts need for the full modification.

My vision was blocked by the canopy, the cano py could not be shut in flight, the propeller slipstream =C2-pressurized t he canopy and there was a tremendous amount of drag, confusion, noise, wind and maps and stuff flying around the cockpit. =C2-The distraction of the e xperience was intense, however, I did my best to fly the airplane. =C2-Onc e "stabilized" I was able to climb albeit slowly and I was able to declare a n emergency, a fellow pilot on the ground was able to talk to me and help me visually land the plane as I dealt with the canopy moving about. =C2-I la nded, got my "sh.....t together", said a prayer of thanks, took a little tim e to check things out and I spent the rest of the day flying my aircraft wit hout incident.That experience got me thinking and once I got home I realized that I just wasn't that confident about the latching mechanisms designed by Zenith and installed by me. =C2-I did some soul =C2-searching and then some serious research and design and I bought some specialty latches from Mc Master Carr that would give me some rock solid redundancy in terms of keepin g my canopy latched. I guess trying to get both barrels to lock while the ca nopy shifts around is a recipe for one barrel not to fully engage the latch. =C2-My retrofit works great as long as I use it as you will see by my nex t sorry tale.After my first experience with the canopy and about a years wor th of flying with my retrofit latches, I decided to take my Father (and co-b uilder partner) flying. =C2-I sure everyone has heard of the "sterile cock pit", well I wish I practiced it on this day. =C2-My Dad bless his heart, was having all sorts of difficulty's with his seatbealt and then it was some thing with his headset. =C2-Well in terms of human factors =C2-the error chain =C2-was forming due to the distractions in trying to get my Pops' c omfortable in his seat, I basically forgot to use my checklist and =C2-as a result I forgot to latch my canopy with my retrofit latches. =C2-Run-up was fine, we took the runway and probably 50 feet in the air all hell broke loose when the canopy opened in flight. =C2-This time my Zenith was at ver y close to gross on a 70 degree day and you know what, I scared the bejezzuu ss out of myself and my poor Dad. =C2-We climbed (really slow), communicat ed and confessed and then we safely landed. My Father was able to hold the c anopy down so I could fly the plane with little distraction, but no dice on getting the canopy to close. =C2-My poor Father was so unerved by the expe rience that he chose to call it a day, and rightly so, =C2-shame on me as a pilot and I called it a day as well. =C2-Embarressed you bet, pride hurt -you know it, feeling very unprofessional and juvenile.First Rule- Always fo llow your checklist do not commit it to memory don't get comfortable with yo ur aircraft. =C2-2nd Rule- Sterile cockpit procedures when you have a pass enger. =C2-3rd Rule ALWAYS FLY THE PLANE!!! =C2-I would not wish these e xperiences upon my worst enemy. =C2-However, being the novice optimist and scientist/test pilot I do know one thing that my airplane is flyable with t he canopy open, it might not be comfortable and its definitely un-nerving, b ut I know for a fact that my Zenith Zodiac CH601XL will fly as long as I cho ose to stay with the airplane an fly it no matter what occurs. =C2-I'm not enamoured with the canopy design in my iteration of the airplane, but it is what it is and I have a very healthy respect for it.I'm in no way trying to scare anyone. =C2-Just be careful!!! careful!!! careful!!! =C2-I have 2 50 plus hours on my 601/Jabiru3300 aircraft, she is my pride and joy. =C2 -The intimate knowledge and education of building one's airplane is nothin g short of an incredible life experience that I would not trade or change. =C2-I am having the time of my life and the myriad of individuals that I h ave met in the experimental home building world are just class people for su re.So don't give up before the miracle happens. =C2-Just learn from your m istakes stay humble and be open to change and always remember to fly the pla ne.Sincerely,=C2-Jeff Paris N196ZP CH601XL Jabiru 3300EAA Tech.

Some great features include; easy storage, very stable, almost all steel, the "vise" is foot activated, the jaw will hold material up to 36" in width.

If you have to move/store a 601xl they fit perfectly into a 16ft POD storage unit. I hung my wings on the sides via the cargo straps I used to pull the wing skin down. I tied the tail up in with the eyelet in the unit at the rear and blocked the wheels to the floor. I also used a cargo strap to pull the main wheel down to the floor at the front. There was 2" to spare between the wheel and the door on the unit.
