| Subject: | 650 Canopy upgrade question |
Anyone built the 650 canopy upgrade kit on a XL yet? If so did you replace the
existing skin on top of the instrument panel with the new precut version?
The precut version appears to be completely off the dimensions of the instrument
panel. Anyone else encountered this problem?

Dave,
What flight scenarios cause you to want to add nose ballast? In my mind, there
needs to be a specific reason to want to add dead weight to an airplane. My
airplane is quite close to yours, but with about 10-12 pounds more per main wheel
(601XL with Jabiru). Only at the most extreme case, which I never flown at,
do I see going out the back side of the W&B envelope. That is two decent sized
people and a lot of baggage in the back. I will more easily go over weight
than I will go out the rear envelope. Thus, for me, adding nose ballast hurts
more than it helps.
So where do you see yourself realistically wanting to load your airplane?
Congrats on completing the mods, by the way,
--------

My forward top-skin was 10mm too wide as measured between the bend lines. The print
dimensions confirmed this. The effect was a large gap at the top flange
of the instrument panel and firewall. Zenith sent me a replacement that was identical
to the first. I could not convince them that there was a problem on their
end. I had to make one from scratch which was to the drawing and fit very
nicely.

Dave,
My 601 HD with the 3300A came in at 700 empty, 235 right, 235 left, 230
nose. I'm about 13 hours into Phase I concentrating on CHTs and the air
plenums, but I have had no problems at all with me (190 lb) and full fuel
(30x6=180 lbs) in two leading edge tanks. 700+190+180=1070 plus about 30 lb
misc gear. So I have flown it at about 1100 lbs or so at this point with no
problems or bad characteristics.
Jeff

This is the same problem that I have. Did the size of the instrument panel change
between the XL and 650? Is this may be why they don't fit?
It is not possible for us to have screwed this bit up as it is defined by the top
of the instrument panel which Zenith made. I wish that they would just fess
up when they have cocked up.
