Hanging upside down, little direct sight of anything. My mate used a bush to spot through onto the angle. That meant the seatpans were an obstruction but it was 'doable'. Our centre section was built in the Czech republic and so was dimensionally near perfect, obviously made by CNC machinery - we could probably have drilled the holes off the aircraft and it would have fitted perfectly. But those are not the instructions, and to be fair drilling out the rivets gives some potential for the hole 'wandering'. -------- Pete Morris Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=266910#266910 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:54:25 AM PST US From: John Goodings Subject: Zenith-List: Re: Zenith-List Digest: CH2000 vs HDS I suspect my problem with sensitive pitch control arose from the fact that most of my prior time was in Cessnas (150/152/172) that have very insensitive pitch control. I tended to overcontrol my 601HD in rounding out on landing, followed by another overcontrol when I sent the nose too high, followed by . . . - you get the idea! I had a helpful instructor who had me do low-and-overs along the runway until I improved. This might be a useful idea for a new 601 pilot before he/she actually touches down for the first time, i.e. get the feel of the pitch control near the ground before doing it for real.

Just right? or ? My cowl thickness seems to be around .150" which would indicate a 26S8-4 or -5. I may be measuring incorrectly.....? Thanks for feedback.

Another option is to space the camloc body out away from the cowl with a small washer or two between camloc body and cowl.

The picture of this gear shows the brake installed with the red cap on the bottom and the brake angled down and to the rear. This allows easy plumbing with the brake inside, or between the mains. When installed this way, you should be able to jack the fork and remove the wheel and rotor intact and without disassembly of the brake assembly on the fork. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/forkscut.gif http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/brakes2forks.gif Then all you need is a tuff flex hose that can take the beating from the brake to a connection with a standard brake line at the wing. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/gear/full/tubetireandwasher.gif Suggest the S83 Michelin 3.5 x 8.0 tires from a motorscooter for $35.00 each with tubes that have bent stems. Farm and Fleet has rubber fender washers that protect the tubes really well.

It was purchased for my series 4 project but the project has been sold and the engine is now available. It has 1490 hrs SMOH. It came out of a certified A/C(Katana).Very well looked after. I don't recall receiving logs with it. I was not concerned at the time of purchase as the logs were not needed for a home built. The compressions were 76/80,76/80,74/80,76/80 at time of removal. $5700.00 cdn. I am located in Cambridge Ontario.

I consulted with King Larry's website, found some photos and compared... Found that my brakes provided were slightly different than his but basically the same, the main thing that I found in Matco's instructions was to put the brakes on the rear whenever possible. Contact me offline and I'll see if I can snap a photo for you of what I did. When in doubt, I consult Larry's website, all HD/HDS builders owe it to themselves to visit his site. THANKS SO MUCH LARRY!!! Youve saved hours of head scratchin!!! -------- One Rivet at a Time!

I was more concerned with how to mount the rotor assembly to the fork than anything else. 1/4" SAE mounting the rotor assembly, with no spacers between the rotor and fork? Thanks.
