Go to "Click here for important notices and other building and flying information." -------- Larry Winger Tustin, CA Plans building 601XL/650 with Corvair Control surfaces and wings complete Fuselage 50% www.mykitlog.com/lwinger Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=199269#199269 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:51:18 AM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: ZAC info on 601XL to 650 plan upgrade From: "lwinger" I just got off the phone with Sebastian Heintz who confirmed the direction Zenith is taking on upgrades for registered owners of 601XL plans. They hope to have the 650 plans back for review by the end of this week or early next week. Distribution could take place shortly after that, but hopefully no later than the end of August. Because of the overwhelming similarities between the two models, they plan to treat this as a plan set upgrade. Pricing is likely to be in line with current upgrade sets -- only adjusted for inflation. They haven't changed their upgrade pricing for years. Finally, expect them to post a comprehensive list of all 601XL to 650 changes, with comments about their rationale, for our review. That could happen as early as the end of the day. Because builders are at different places, this will allow us all to decide which, if any, changes we want to incorporate. Once again, I'm pleased with the way Zenith is managing this process and wish them well. -------- Larry Winger Tustin, CA Plans building 601XL/650 with Corvair Control surfaces and wings complete Fuselage 50% www.mykitlog.com/lwinger Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=199278#199278 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:26:37 AM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Looking for steam gauges From: "lwinger" Does anyone on the list have quality new or used steam gauges for sale?

When I latch my canopy down there is no doubt it is there to stay. Two clicks on each side just like a car door. My home-made opener is very slim and has to rotate about 50 degrees before it even starts to release the latches. It is mounted forward and must be rotated up so there is not much chance of an accidental opening. http://www.cooknwithgas.com/Canopy.html I guess there are many ways to do the same thing however.
