| Subject: | Re: Zodiac - 601 hd/hds, xl, 650 - Confused |
Unfortunately the US mods to the xl are not yet approved by the LAA. There are
a number of UK builders of the xl who are waiting for the approval (the ones
that bought US kits rather than the CZAW variant) - they are in a difficult position
as the airframe is heavier than the CZAW version (mainly the undercarriage)
and getting the approval for a 600kg aircraft rather than 560kg would help.
The other difference in the UK is that the mauw is tightly defined and with
the UK mods set with a maximum fuselage weight of 494kg.
This has quite an effect if the aircraft is a 'little' heavy due to its construction.
The hd does not have a similar restriction.
There is a test about to be undertaken of the revised centre section to try and
'prove' the US upgrade for the xl. AIUI there are concerns that the wider distance
between the centre section may result in bending of the wing attachment
bolts, the testing is intended to resolve that question.
For what its worth I suspect the higher canopy of the 650 is quite a good idea
and may even improve the performance - my xl has a high suction area at the rear
of the canopy - with the ribbers venting air from the cockpit once the speed
goes over about 115kts.
Of course the hd suffers from none of these problems!

Way to go, Rich. Fly off those hours and come south to help me get mine in
the air! My Corvair is hanging on the front, just ready to be plumbed and
started.
