One would assume that this is limited to those who hold registered 601XL plans from Zenith, with a serial number. I'd rather not hold him to the ballpark price he gave, but suffice it to say you couldn't buy too many cups of Starbucks for what he thought they may charge. Once again, my respect for the Heintz family and the ZAC crew has just gone up another notch! Call me a 1251 builder (601 + 650) or a 649 builder (almost a 650), but I like the changes and plan to incorporate them all. -------- Larry Winger Tustin, CA Plans building 601XL or 650/Corvair Control surfaces and wings complete.

This shifts the CG back some, but keeps it out of sight and away from other baggage. As I get closer to that step, I hope to get plans and installation advice from AMD. They've been helpful to date. If anyone else on the list gets it before me, please post or send me a private email at larrywinger@gmail.com.

The answer is "yes."

Each includes a complete descriptive of the electronic ignition, fuel systems, cooling, mechanicals, installation variations and performance. Special articles on radiators installation and sizing, evaluating engine performance, re-drives, planetary, geared and belted are described for large and small engines. Considerably strong outlines on the EA81 and the EJ22 Subaru are provided to also compare them with air-cooled TC engines. Both are described as used with belted or direct drive props for 100 to 130 hp. The 3^rd Volume's illustrations drawings and photos are 1000-word quality, well worth the price for someone considering an alternative engine. The automotive- conversion can save you a whole lot on initial purchase, fuel and general maintenance. For those who would ask, its $42.00, ordered thru www.ContactMagazine.com or by phone at 1-559-584-3306.

I wonder if one should read anything into this, other than maybe the Rotax is priced out of sight, and the Lycoming is heavy? -- ================================================ Jim B.
