    Hello, All Has anybody used "generic" wheel pants on a 601HD/XL, as sold by AS&S? (URL below) http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ap/wheelfairings.html I am wondering if this could be a reasonable alternative... Not ony a matter of $, but style also. Carlos CH601-HD, plans

    Hi Carlos, If you've got the 8.0 x 3 wheels, you'll find the ones made for 5 and 6 inch diameters to be a bit awkward. I made a set for my HDS using the S-83 Michelin tires and the fit was very good. If you like fiberglassing, they're not that hard to do. www.macsmachine.com/html/wheelfairings.htm Sub-links on the above page describe a process which results in a nice product that can be done with a bit of work. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/completion/full/fairingsrtrearqtr.gif Larry McFarland Carlos Sa wrote: > Hello, All > > > Has anybody used "generic" wheel pants on a 601HD/XL, as sold by AS&S? > (URL below) > http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ap/wheelfairings.html > > I am wondering if this could be a reasonable alternative...

    Paul,- - I-don't see where you have any logic. You don't even understand what peop le are writing. - I doubt there are three XL's beside your ac that are "collecting dust". - Roger- N20RB (soon to be flying) --- On Fri, 9/4/09, Paul Mulwitz <psm@att.net> wrote: From: Paul Mulwitz <psm@att.net> Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Re: Signed off to Solo the Sabrina Mark 1 !!! Hi Sabrina, I agree with you that the NTSB report has saved lives.- However, my reaso n for believing that is merely that many XL flights didn't take place becau se of the report.- It is really hard to get killed in a grounded plane. - I am not aware of any reasonable statistics about how many XLs were gro unded and how many kept flying, but my sense from emails and other data sou rces is that most of them have been collecting dust. My logic leads to the conclusion that as XL flying hours increase with the LAA action and soon to be released stuff from Chris the accidents either wi ll or will not continue.- It is only when many are flying again that the logic of no accident means no problem applies. I disagree with you about the FAA.- I believe they have dropped the entir e subject.- They cannot make experimental airplane owners do much of anyt hing, and even if they do have some power they don't have any motivation. - As before, each of us must make our own decision about operating our pl anes safely.- We- should not expect any help from the nanny state in th is area.
