Subject: Zenith-List: Landing mistake
Last Saturday I took my wife to Los Banos for lunch. We took off from
our 900 foot strip (701) and headed south. It was quite bumpy down low
so we powered up to 3500' and it was nice. Since Los Banos is only 30
minutes away, even in a 701 we were quickly descending back into the
rough air to set up for landing.
On downwind we noticed there was no one around at all at the airport.
No planes, humans or dogs. I turned base and final and set up for the
landing. We came over the numbers and the plane started settling down.
I started my flair and felt nothing. No chirp, no bump, nothing until
the nose wheel settled down. This was my best landing ever and there
was no one there to see it except my wife and she did not think it was a
big deal! Of course my next landing will be in front of a lot of people
and it will likely be a real thumper.

The 40 pound difference I've been citing was a number I got straight from
AMD. *I* am not the one who said the weight was all in the back, either. If
I'm speculating, I'll say so. I wasn't. I was going on what I believed to be
reliable information.
The way to counter bad information is to post reliable information, not to
simply flame people for saying what they believe to be true.

Here's where I go the weight. http://brsparachutes.com/files/Documents/Sales%20Retail%20Price%20List%20July%2015%202008.pdf
The 3 models that match the 601's weight are between 29 and 34 pounds according
to this. Add to that the weight of the fittings and 40 lbs sounds about right.
Which model do you have Scott?

All points of view that I have read regarding the BRS systems are valid to some
extent. I considered it seriously (although I discuss flipantly at times) and
decided against it. It is a personal choice and there is no wrong answer until
the circumstances are listed. At that point either answer could be wrong for
a given flight. But none of us will know that until the flight is over, will
we?

| Subject: | Re: Whatever happened to Subies |
I just got back from SnF, where I saw Jerry Perryman's RV-9A that flew in from
Conroe, TX. It has an EJ25 Subie that Bud Warren (geareddrives.com) modified with
a rear mounted, 3 pass radiator and a new gearbox. Originally an Egg engine,
Warren and Perryman flew in it to OSH last year and Bud was concerned about
the high temps and gearbox noise, so he thought he could it do it better.
According to Perryman, his temps are now down 60F to 160, and he's tickled pink.
Warren used off the shelf gear sets and other automotive components for the
PSRU, which has the added advantage of easy gear ratio changes at about $200 per
set. It also has its own enclosed lube system, using hypoid gear oil.
The PSRU prototype is as ugly as sin right now, since Warren started with a spare
rectangular hunk of aluminum billet for the gear case, but it appears to be
working. The radiator is prettier, though, but it's mostly hidden.
I took some photos if anyone's interested.

Yes I still watch the crap going on here but do my best not to get involved.
My BRS added 21 pounds to the baggage area at 1600mm.
The problem is that 1600mm is not what you will have. The chute sits on the
1850mm mark.
I dont have a CG problem until fuel goes down tp about 9 gallons. Then the
CG goes out to 465. Again in Europe the CG envelope goes from 300 to 520
mm.
A letter from CH on approving the 520mm is available but here in the USA
Zenith still wants 450.
I did move the battery forward 11 inches ahead of the firewall and my 601XL
flys nose heavy in test flights (so far).
The overall weight of the BRS is 29 pounds which includes all hardware.
If I knew before about the BRS in Europe, where they install the chute in
front of the instrument panel I would have gone with that instead of the
baggage area. The forward BRS is a 1050 pound rated unit. Mine is the
1350.
In front, the balance would have been easier but not much room for
instruments.

That is a design goal of BRS.- If they made the landing slower, to save t
he (already damaged airplane),- there is a big chance of wind drifting or
even-rasing in thermals that-could-make-the landing more dangerous
.-- Imagine a damage airplane being drifted-though-the-edge of a
canyon...- I am not shure about the exact number (read it several years a
go), but is around 700 fpm.-(need to check it) -Some damage can be spec
ted to the airplane and or passenger(s), but will save their lives.

Gig:
I purchased and installed the 1350 Softpack. At the time it was $4,000. "System
Weight" = 29 lbs = total weight including brackets & straps.
You and I have been at this airplane-building a long time, huh? Let's meet at
a fly-in somewhere soon to celebrate two finished projects.

I just got back from SnF, where I saw Jerry Perryman's RV-9A that flew i
n from Conroe, TX. It has an EJ25 Subie that Bud Warren (geareddrives.co
m) modified with a rear mounted, 3 pass radiator and a new gearbox. Orig
inally an Egg engine, Warren and Perryman flew in it to OSH last year an
d Bud was concerned about the high temps and gearbox noise, so he though
t he could it do it better.
According to Perryman, his temps are now down 60F to 160, and he's tickl
ed pink. Warren used off the shelf gear sets and other automotive compon
ents for the PSRU, which has the added advantage of easy gear ratio chan
ges at about $200 per set. It also has its own enclosed lube system, usi
ng hypoid gear oil.
The PSRU prototype is as ugly as sin right now, since Warren started wit
h a spare rectangular hunk of aluminum billet for the gear case, but it
appears to be working. The radiator is prettier, though, but it's mostly
hidden.
I took some photos if anyone's interested.

All-
I came up short 2 (Better make that 4 to cover screw-ups) 22-24AWG
female .093 Molex crimp connectors (Their # 02-09-1138). It'll cost me
at least $10 plus shipping to order them.
On the other hand, I have tons of extra other types of connectors
that I'd be willing to swap, if anyone has the Molex. We could both get
out for the price of a stamp. Let me know if anyone has what I need and
what you need.
Thanks.

| Subject: | XL Cable tension specs - not on my plans! |
I bought a kit from Zenair back in 1993, which I have now completed and
flown 160 hrs in.
On my plans, there was no mention of any specification for cable
tensions, when a fellow
XL builder from New Zealand experienced flutter during initial flight
testing this is the response
from Zenair.
