| Subject: | re: flap alignment |
Thanks to all for the advice on what to do with flaps that are out of alignment.
I called Zenith and they confirmed that the easiest way to fix it was to create
a new piece of nylon on the end rib of one of the two flaps.
I did this by stretching the width of one slot in the required direction until
the flaps were both aligned, and then used that as a template to create the new
nylon that also lines up with the original rivet holes. All it cost me was
a new piece of nylon.
I would be inclined to recommend this as the way to go. Like most people, I took
great care to get my torque tube straight (I laid it on a bench to be sure
the two arms were lined up) and then get my holes in the right place, etc. With
the whole thing put together, the thought of twisting my body around all those
cables to re-drill the tube filled me with dread.

I purchased a 12" UHS spinner for 601xl/corvair from ACS. Has anyone else used
these. I was surprised to see that it comes with only a single bulk head for
the front of the prop. How much of a concern is this? What are others using?

Dan,
I used the spinner from Van's that WW recommends.? It has a bulkhead behind the
prop and one in front of the prop.? It was fairly easy to install and runs true.?
I can't imagine how a spinner would work with only one bulkhead.

I don't know where they get them, but the AMD spinner uses a single bulkhead
at the front of the prop as well.

A single bulk head in itself isn't a problem. What may be a problem is if you are
going to use the WW nose bowl you are going to have a 1/2" area around the
spinner that doesn't match up with the nosebowl. It will produce a slight but
probably measurable amount of extra drag.

My plan is build to build my own cowl, so that's not a problem.

That's the same spinner that I have. Haven't flown yet, but it mounts up just
fine. I measured and told ACS the dimensions I needed and it came out perfect
for me.
