It would be pretty easy to tell if the buyer has installed ea ch of the upgrade components and to give a general appraisal of the workman ship. I'll be working on the hangar this weekend and early next week so gi ve me a call if I can help. Phil Maxson 601XL/Corvair Northwest New Jersey Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Pre-Purchase on a CH601XL From: jaybannist@cs.com Barry=2C I strongly suggest you get someone familiar with the 601XL to help you with an inspection. See if you can contact Phil Maxson. He has built and flies a great 601XL. He might be able to help or guide you to someone who can. You might also ask around your EAA chapters to see if anyone can help.

The years go by; I married a woman in 1982 who shared my wish to build and fly; indeed, about that time we traveled to Eloy AZ to fly in the Dragonfly. And then, in the summer of 2006, I met Michael Heintz and the 601 and the new LSA category; instant love. Our kit was delivered six months later, just about the time the first accidents occurred. And as with many of you, work generally stopped while the issues involved cascaded throughout the List. Also, as with many of you, the announcement that a modification kit would be available rekindled a sense of cautious optimism. The up-grade was nearly completed by mid-August; "perhaps by next spring...." > >But, no.In mid-AugustI was diagnosed as having cancer. Perhaps it is enough to simply say that this 60-year-old dream will not now happen; at age eighty, other priorities (including relocation back to the East coast)have suddenly becomecentral. In what is one of the truly difficult decisions we have had to make, I am selling my 601. > >My gratitude for the List is quite profound. While not participating often, it has been read almost daily with much interest; individuals such as Larry McFarland, Paul Mulwitz, Rick Lindstrom and Terry Phillips (there obviously are numerous others)were unusually helpful during the confusion of 2008-9, and from the List I haveput together a supplemental construction manual of well over a thousand pages. ThatI cannot now act on all of this is a deep disappointment indeed. > >Again, thank you all. The sight of a 601 in flight will bring back a fascinating experience. > >Elden Jacobson >601xl/3300 > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
