Hello Paul, I think is not incorrect to advise the 601 XL. Last night I was thinking... The XL has near 10 years (I Dont know when was first available), all of this past years without any structural problem, the prototype is still flying daily as a demo plane, lots of them flying all over the world, in fact there was one in youtube performing loops, not adsvised of course. The accident events are all in a (relative) short time , so I feel (no guessing here .-) that the problem, what ever is, can be traced and isolated and then we all can continue to build and fly it with the same confidence as before... I know the scar of the damage will be there all the life of the plane... Dont need to be answered though the list please, just every one of us think about it for ourselfs, to not beguin another useless discusion. Maybe off line if you need to comment to me something Saludos Gary Gower. Building a 601 XL Kit. Fuselage almost ready, empenage ready, will beguin with the wings soon. Do not archive. Paul Mulwitz wrote: Hi Justin, I have heard several builders proclaim the great performance the HDS gives with a Jabiru 3300 engine. This engine has 50% more power (and cylinders) than the 2200. I can only conclude the 2200 is a bit small for this airplane and the 3300 would be a better choice. I know it is not politically correct these days to recommend the Zodiac XL, but it has many improvements over the HDS including a larger wing and longer fuselage. The wing might be a big help to you with your high altitude starting point, and the longer fuselage should provide a better ride - especially in pitch stability. I know there have been problems, but by the time you might finish one they will probably be figured out. Good luck, Paul XL fuselage do not archive At 12:24 PM 5/19/2008, you wrote: >I am contemplating building a Zodiac HDS with a Jabiru 2200A (85hp) engine in. > >I have seen a few references to this combination, but can find no >actual performance specifications. > >Has anybody used this combination?
