Hi Carlos,
I would try to drive the center mandril out through the rivet, pull it
through with pliers or use a small punch to get it out. Then you should
be able to drill the rivet out or maybe twist it out with pliers. Just
a thought.
Good luck

This is embarrassing.
I am stuck. Literally. See pictures - this is an A6 pop rivet. It
won't budge, in or out.
Access from the back is rather difficult, as the rear and front rib
are already riveted. The A6 is one of the two last rivets in this
station.
I can remove the rear rib, but that's my last option - and I still
will have a stuck A6 after I remove the rear rib.
Suggestions?

I use a spring loaded center punch to drive the rivet stub out. Lot less
pressure than driving out with a hammer & punch .

Stubborn little bugger !!!
I had to support the back of the spar with a 2x4, then hammer the rivet stem
until it got through.
Then I pulled it from the back with pliers.
The remaining material (rivet less the stem) came out easily by pulling from
the from, with pliers.
Geez, what an experience !
Thanks to all that provided suggestions.

Does ZAC still sell upholstery (seat cushions) for the 701? I could not
find it on their web site. If so, what is cost? (my homemade ones are
getting worn.)
Thanks,

Doug's wife Lori at Quality Sport Planes in Cloverdale CA does interior for
Zenith planes. I just saw the new stuff she made for their Demo 750,
and of course their 601XL and she does a great job. Give her a shout at
qspinfo@gmail.com . She does a great job.

| Subject: | 750 ALERON PROBLEM |
Need some help, I've got a friend building a 750--he's -built several
planes inc. a 701 and never had this problem...when he moves the stick to
the left it's free when he moves the stick to the right it's springie and w
ill spring back to the ctr. cables are -at 25-30 lb.- when you get unde
r the plane and look in the access hole you can see the arm moving back and
forth ,when it moves foward it flexes to the right. that would be when you
you would be moving the yoke to the rt.-----------

Carlos,
Glad you go it unstuck. Maybe I'm not up on the latest info from Zenith, but I
think that should be a solid rivet. The drawings I have dated Dec 9 state "INSTALL
EXTRUSION WITH SOLID RIVETS, SAME DIAMETER AS ORIGINAL HOLE IN EACH LOCATION",
and gives part numbers:
MS20470AD-6-15 and MS20470AD-5-10.

Dan, this is a 601-HD - you might be thinking 601-XL...?
The A6 are used to hold four L angles against the centre wing spar.
These L angles reinforce the attachment of four nose ribs to the spar at the
landing gear stations.
Here's a close up, bottom right in this picture:
http://zodiac.pcperfect.com/images/CWing/cwing12.jpg
In this picture, you can see the ribs in question: the two outer ones, on
each side. Four ribs, 2 rivets on each one.

BTW, the pictures are from Don Honabach's project.
