It is. The Grove gear (which AMD uses) requires a spacer to hold it in
position at the front of the gear channel.

I picked up a 601xl kit at the factory last Friday. As of late yesterday
afternoon, I'm off and running! The rudder skeleton is done, and I'm catching
my breath.
I did look at the 650 that was under construction while I was there. It
confirmed part of my reasoning for staying with the XL. The baggage behind
the seats would rub against the canopy. I suspect, in time, it would leave
numberous marks.
There was a lot more headroom, however.

David,
I tried to send this to you privately, but I don't have your email address.
There is a CZAW 601XL at my airport. It has a gross weight of 1100 lbs. I assume
that it is the "European" version of the 601.
I am sure there are others. This airplane came through a company in Florida.
What information about this plane should the owner be aware of?
If you answer, please reply to twalker@cableone.net
Thanks,

If by "reduced" you mean thinner, the Grove gear is actually 1/8 inch
thicker (if indeed it is 7/8" vs. ZAC 3/4".
10 lbs is significant. Every bit adds up. The paint might weight 3 to 4
lb/gallon after it dries. You can save some weight by replacing the electri
c
flap motor with a pull lever. If you live in a warm climate, use a smaller
battery and save a few lbs. The wheels make a big difference depending on w
hat
you choose etc. I'm sure there are a lot of weight saving tips out there.

.
The Grove gear is 7/8" thick 7075-T6 while the ZAC gear is 3/4"
6061-T6, so the profile of the Grove gear must be significantly reduced fro
m the
ZAC profile.

Not that narrow...a quick guess without looking at the airplane says it's
2/3 to 3/4 as wide.
