Rich-
You're OK going with the 650, because the Zenith designs are getting
easier and easier to build.
HOWEVER- sh**can any self-imposed build time requirements. Haste makes
waste.
Starting now, get yourself into the correct mindset-
"I WILL build an aircraft equal to or better than something I can buy
out of Wichita, no matter how long it takes". You'll never feel bad because
something took too long to do but will always feel good when it was done
right.
Good building!
Bill

Has anyone built a comparison table, or equivalent, between the various engine
choices for the 601/650? I'm specifically thinking of such features as fuel
consumption/hr, installed weight, cost, hp.
I see these numbers on various web sites run by the proponents of the engines,
but they seem biased in favor of their particular engine (no surprise!).
Zeith has part, but not all of it, on their web site.

homebuilthelp.com, I=B4ve bought the videos for the wing/tail/fuselage and
they are great. They also sent me a demo video with little parts of the res
t
of the series, including the 912 competition and they were also great and
fun to watch
Take care,

Shai:
I believe you can modify both if required. From memory the water pump
outlet can be adjusted through about 40 degrees (could be more, my plane
is at the airport) and the cylinder inlets can be adjusted to any angle.
Be careful, these connections are very easy to damage.

is it possible to modify the rigid water out let in Rotax 912s water pump
outlet or at the cylinder?

Bill,
Thanks for the feedback. That was my point. This is a save some, build some, project.
No time limit. No short cuts. Hoping for 5 years, but it's done when it's
done. Life had me wait until I was 54 to start one of my own. Hoping I'm wise
enough to not get in a hurry now.
Rich

Glad to see a fellow Arkansan building. Keep one thing in mind as you start a 650.
You might want to call it a 601. With the FAA getting twitchy on the 51% rule
having a plane that is already on the grandfathered "approved kit list" is
a plus. Someone pointed out that the 650 that was at OSH this year had 601 on
the data plate.
