During my senior year in dental school I had a general dentistry
instructor who have lived and practiced in Ankorage for many years
before coming to teach in New Orleans. He claimed that Alaskans had
threatened that if Texas didn't quit bragging about being such a big
state, Alsaska might cut itself into two states making Teaxs the third
largest state.

Hi Sabrina:
You are truly an amazing young woman. You've discussed your large number of
changes and/or the modifications you made in construction of your personal
601. You also list here your favorite top 10 of those.
You indicate that you had your plans with you at the Zenith gathering in
Mexico, Mo. last week-end and plan to again have them with you at the Zenith
Dinner at Airventure. That would suggest that you have documented and/or
created drawings containing some detail for each of your modifications and
changes on those plans.
Having said that...I'd like to ask if you would give some consideration to
copying some of all of those changes for the rest of us builders to see,
review, consider, and possibly adopt those that fit our needs to our own
builds? You could perhaps post them on this forum in groups of 5 or 10. If
you would rather not copy your plans, would you consider taking a photo of
the top 10 or 20 and posting the photo's of your changes to only the
specific area's affected on those plan pages?
It occurs to me that a concern for the ole "liability issues" may be the
cause of any reluctance, on your part to do this....yet you are making your
changes available for all at the "gatherings" to see. If you would rather
not post them yourself, here, would you consider letting someone at the
upcoming dinner photo them and post those photos on this forum instead for
those requesting details and not able to attend Airventure?
You've received several requests, now this one included, to share more
details of your excellent thinking. Would any of these suggestion be
acceptable to you to provide some of that requested detail?

Hi Sabrina
I agree with Bob. There are many builders across the world that will never have
the privilege of getting to any of those events & we would love to see more.
I am very intrigued by some of the changes you have brought about.

I have to think about it... in the meantime, ask any questions you would like,
but lets stick to one item at a time... this is what this list should be about...
I could not have built my airplane without this list and all your guys past
input to this list so I owe you a lot...
are we done with the flap gap stop?
are we done with the cowling? (No complaints that I messed with the design by
placing the prop 3" further away from the firewall on an angled engine mount
designed for no prop spacer?)

All-
Do you have to pre-register for the Zenith dinner at Oshkosh? I
couldn't find anything on the Zenith website.
After 20+ years as an EAA member I can finally make it to Mecca.

Actually, go to www.zenith.aero and look at the leftmost column at the
bottom for EVENTS.
You can click to sign up, and see who else is attending. (you can
change your mind and un-attend, if need to)
This method makes it much easier for the planners to get a head count
accurate and early.. and see your friends that are planning to make it!
C U there!

The off line vote is overwhelmingly AGAINST posting any drawings since it would
just tend to flame the list.
So too, for those of you who do visit Air Venture 2009, please realize that the
plans I am bringing are the original marked up work in progress Zenith plans,
not those submitted during the AW inspection. These plans were marked up while
I was 12, 13 and 14 years old, so review them as a piece of aviation history
and nothing more.
