I had backdrilled the top doubler following the directions from Zenith. I ordered three new parts yesterday: both top doublers and the forward bottom doubler. All will cost you about $50.

Having spares has real merit because spare parts are often discontinued after 10 years or so. Ignition coils purchased nearly 8years ago for $35.00 each are now $93.00. Useful alternatives to the pricey Echlin IC107 coils can be found by searching for coils used on a 1987-1990 Mitsubishi wagon or van. The equivalent parts are easier to find at $30.00 and up. I chose ORiellys Auto Parts on line and they have 4 sources for this coil. Ive maintained a spares box for all things consumable, brake pads, bungees, fuel lines, scat tube etc, and after only 157 hours of flight, I guess coils are next.

I mean real part 103! Heck If I had seen this thing 3 years ago I'd have found one and I'd be building a 601 instead of a 701! Well not really, maybe a Buttercup, I really am kind of a high wing guy.

The rudder and horizontal is just like the 701, well the construction methods are identical, the airfoil on the horizontal is different but the rudder is the same as the 601 and 701 David M. -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of kmccune Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 5:47 PM Subject: Zenith-List: Re: Historic Zenair Zipper for sale Thanks, But your group is how I found out about it!
