    Subject: Upper Engine Mount Question
    From: "Scotsman" <james.roberts@computershare.co.za>
    Morning List, I am trying to finish up the upper engine mounts on my XL and specifically with reference to attachment to the firewall and upper longeron. When I look at my plans etc I see that it is an old version of the engine mount that the plans etc provide instructions for. Mine is the triangular shaped newer one. Does anyone have the specs for the positions of any/all bolts/rivet holes that need to be made in the mount? Many thanks in advance James -------- Cell +27 83 675 0815 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=273931#273931

    And the fit in that area in general is very tight. In particular between the nuts on the vertical bolts into the longeron and the rivets through the side skin and the longeron. If you can stagger the bolt and rivet positions. -- Craig From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Greg Cox Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 3:44 AM Subject: RE: Zenith-List: Upper Engine Mount Question Be careful with this drawing 6-B-6 the engine mounting hole positions were not correct for my aircraft, I back drilled through the firewall.

    Subject: Zenith 601xl mods
    Indeed! Over on the Zenith.aero site Mathieu Heintz wrote this in his thread on "Q&A - Safety Alert and SAIB - Zodiac XL / CH 650": Nov 16th: "You have already upgraded your wing? I am surprised as the drawings are on the web as "DRAFT". We are still looking at changes as we are consulting with outside engineers right now. I would not start the upgrade until you have the final drawings." And yesterday: "Please remember that the drawings are "DRAFT" only at this time and many parts will be updated. So please do not start making parts and riveting things back together etc." On the other hand Doug Dugger at QSP is upgrading his XL in public this weekend. -- Craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Terry Phillips Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 7:10 PM Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Zenith 601xl mods I commend Jeff for making the videos available. I suspect that they will be very useful. However, I think that everyone should be reminded that the drawings shown on the web site are clearly marked "DRAFT." To me, that translates to: "SUBJECT TO CHANGE! Do not build anything until you get the final drawings, or be prepared to take it all apart and rebuild so that your aircraft will comply with the final drawings." Of course this is only essential for S-LSA's & E-AB projects that still need their air worthiness certificates. So far I haven't seen anything from the FAA that says already approved E-AB aircraft are required to implement the recommendations. Strongly recommended, but not required. I doubt it will be too long before the drawings are finalized, but only Zenair knows for sure.

    The 12th part has been added to Sebastien Heintz' blog: http://www.zenith.aero/profiles/blogs/part-12-installing-the-angle This installs the L-angle stiffners to the rear wing skins. It sounds as though they may be adding L angle stiffners in the rear fuselage side skins, but this is a bit fuzzy. ============================================ Do not archive. ============================================ Jim B Belcher BS, MS Physics, Math, Computer Science A&P/IA Retired aerospace technical manager Mathematics and alcohol do not mix.

    FYI: the Honda insurance stayed the same and the Harley insurance with Geico only went up $50.42 with the conversion of the M permit into an M license. Avemco sent me a pro-rated refund of my aircraft insurance ($286.09). I can't find anyone willing to insure the first 5 hours after the upgrade.

    Hi Sabrina, Did you try Falcon? They offered me first flight coverage before the current situation and they weren't at all alarmed about the accidents. Maybe they are in a better position to cover experimental planes than Avemco. (I have found Avemco less than stellar when it comes to experimentals.)
