Go-Jo hand cleaner maybe. The stuff is designed to resist most solvents.

Mark,
The official EAA site,
http://www.eaaapps.org/forumsearchresults.aspx?presenter=766, has the first
two forums reversed from what you show. Are you sure your information is
correct????

Gary, DVD-5 is the amount of data the DVD holds, not the format of the disk.
I'm guessing the DVDs we're getting are DVD-5s, because they usually have
only one hour of video on them. But that's only a guess, and it may not be
the case.
I'm concerned that I'm pushing this off into a discussion of DVD technology,
which probably doesn't belong on the Zenith forum. If someone wants to
discuss it more, I'll be glad to discuss it, but please contact me directly.

MEK (methyl-ethyl-ketone) will disolve most lubricants. It's available at many
hardware stores. It's probably one of the best cleaners for things like that
I've found, but it's toxic. I normally wear protective gloves when using it.

If you ground the notches "just right" as shown by those two solid lines on 6G3-1
as depicted in figure 4 of plans page 6-G-3 all you need to do is pull the
parts together so they are "just snug" with NO WEIGHT on the gear legs. If you
messed up those critical notches, you may need a bit more torque. I don't know
what values "just snug" or "bit more" translate to.
I did use a second nut to lock down against my AN365-820, and a washer between
6G3-4 and the nuts.

Carroll,
The main gear nuts are not a torque exercise. I think the instructions come with
the Matco stuff, not ZAC stuff.? It has been a while since I did this, but here
is how I did it.??? You tighten the nut down until you feel a drag when you
rotate the wheel.? Then back the nut off to the next cotter pin hole. Pin it
and that's it.

This is a very interesting post...
Clearly Jay and I are answering different questions...
When reading over these digests in 2006 and 2007 it was a little bit of a learning
curve to determine if the answer fit the question...
to those lurking and building like I did, take notice...
I remember back to the 3/8 AN hardware question way back, the person asking the
question meant AN3 torque values but asked for 3/8" values and was given AN6
torque values... the size of the wrench compared to the shaft was the confusing
part...
Carroll, did you mean the bolts speced on 6-G-3 or the main axle nut?

No my question was about the main gear attachment to the gear channel.
However Jay answered another question for me that I would have been asking next
week.

Dan,
I have the same GPS and that's never happened to me.
I've been flying my 601xl for two years and have over 300 hours on it.

AirVenture has very strick rules about filming on their premises.... (you
may not film forums for commercial use!)
However, if I am able to record the presentation, I would make it available
on DVD for newsletter members (free) but only by individual request and not
as part of each newsletter. This way, I think I would be adhering to the
spirit of the rule.
It is my opinion that this presentation will be rehashing mostly old news
about this topic (I was in attendance at the Sun n Fun version 2 months
ago!) There was little content that would have been useful to most readers.
(esp for 701, 801, 750 builders,etc) It reminded me of local city meetings
where unhappy people vent their frustrations and questions that cannot
possibly be answered get asked over and over by the same group of people...
And yes, we break the 1hr DVD recording barrier whenever needed.... variable
compression at burning time allows up to 2 hrs per disk, at the sacrifice of
video quality. A great accomplishment by the "standards" committees: that
DVD with your newsletter works on every player in the WORLD...very
impressive! The biggest problem is that some computer DVD players do have
issues.... they are not created equal... but that $29 stand alone DVD player
from Walmart always works!
I will be concentrating on filming/interviewing pilots with their Zenith
aircraft at Airventure... so if you are planning on flying in and want to
share your story of flight and aircraft, please advise me so I can find you!
Also, it is always fun to film the builder's dinner... so if you cannot make
it this year, I want to be able to share that experience with you. This is
what the newsletter & video are for!
If you have other ideas/suggestions, let me know! The issue out next month
has some neat interviews from the recent ZAC fly-in..... did you know there
is a gentleman that is building his 7th Zenith aircraft kit! By the time I
was done talking with him I wanted to place an order with ZAC...

Dan, the Lowrance has been pretty dependable. It points a little off occasionally.
The first time I flew into Grand Prairie, I was flying low so the tower
guy couldn't see me, then I realized I was aiming about a half mile to the right
of the runway. I now just get a few miles out and spot the runway, then ignore
the thing.
I especially like the "nearest airport" feature by pressing the zoom In and zoom
Out at the same time. I use this while I'm flying long distances periodically
just to know how far the nearest airport is in case of emergency. I like my
airmap 2000c.
