I have about 85 hours on the mod and as with most things =2Cyou get used to it. George May 601XLB 912---385hrs From: jeffrey-j-paris@excite.com Subject: Zenith-List: Question about handling CH601XLB post mods/flight eva uation Dear Technical Support=2C This morning I test flew N196ZP Ch601XL B model serial number 6-4839 at my local airport (SDC) with that in mind=2C I was a bit concerned over the "st iffness" of my ailerons. Before the mod I would describe my Zodiacs handli ng as superb=2C but today control forces in the roll aspect of flight were quite stiff and required some force to move. Is this normal? I would assume some change in the handling qualities due t o the mods/aileron counterweights=2C but I definitely was not that comforta ble with the aileron response. Should the cable tension be backed off a bit? Are you fielding similar res ponse from other "modifiers'? Other than that=2C I have attached some pictures of our latest iteration of our much loved Zodiac. We stripped all the paint off of her this winter w hile we completeed the mods and I am now trying to debug the aircraft after sitting for 1.5 years. Also=2C sorry about Sun N' Fun I was very saddened by the misfortune caused by the weather=2C I can't even imagine what it mu st feel like. Well thanks for your time and consideration. Sincerely=2C Jeff Paris and Peter Paris in Rochester=2C NY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
