    Okay 601 builders, would you please throw a lifeline to this poor 601 pilot who has never pulled a rivet in his life. I fly an AMD-Made 601XL that is over two years old and has about 200 trouble-free hours. This notification letter from AMD, http://www.newplane.com/amd/../Service_Letters_Bulletines/NOTICE%20January%207%202009.pdf <http://www.newplane.com/amd/../Service_Letters_Bulletines/NOTICE%20January%207%202009.pdf>says that somebody, I guess an A&P in my case, should install "gussets" on each aileron. My quite uninformed question is... does this mean that someone (my A&P) has to tear each aileron apart, fabricate the plates from aluminum of the designated quality, rivet them in, and then return the skin to its previous pristine form? - Will the skin fit? - How difficult is this in terms of "hours" an A&P might charge? - What other questions should I ask?

    I just did that mode [very quick and easy as you only need to remove a few rivets around both areas]and it took about a 1 hrs work.Keeping in mind I'm still in the building process and the aileron was not painted or installed.

    Frank, I look at this notification as an "either - or" type thing.? Either you do the reinforcing or you properly secure the control surfaces when the airplane is tied down outside.? With gust locks of some sort on the control surfaces, the reinforcing does nothing but add weigh and/or make you feel good. It is like having a reinforced lockbox inside a locked safe; or "belt and suspenders".? The reinforcing might do some good if the gust locks fail; but from looking at those photos, I sincerely doubt that the reinforcing would have prevented that damage.

    Subject: Flap Control Tuibes
    Hi Guys, I am presently fitting the flap motor and control tubes. What is the angle of the flap control tube (6B19-1 and 2) relative to the flap control arm (6B19-3)? I need to drill the holes for the bolts that hold all three pieces together. I don't have the wings built yet so is it worth waiting until the wings and flaps are in place before drilling anything?

    Jay, ZAC says air to 2/3 rim above ground for the HD and HDS. (2/3 tire rim distance to outside of tire) Of course that is 1200 lb gross vs 1320 for the XL. On my HDS I found 2/3 to be 18 psi.

    Subject: Re: parts location
    I'm going to go in a complete different direction here. Sooner or later you are going to end up with a sheet metal bending break. It's one of those thing that most builders are going to need sooner or later. It may be for fabricating parts for your panel, fire wall forward stuff, or as in my case to remake parts you screwed up. I don't know what your are missing besides the bell crank support, but if doesn't look too complicated, you should think about getting a small cheap break. A break is under $100 and will let you fabricate a lot of parts, including the bell crank support in a few minutes. I'm a worry wart, always thinking I'm going to miss drill a hole and knowing I can make a new part quickly is a real stress reliever. So, my suggestion is a couple of 2/4ft sheets of 6061-t6 from ACS and a cheap break.
