I've gone through the packing as I disposed of it. There simply isn't room to
unpack everything and inventory it at the start, which is what I had hoped to
do. I've gone through it several times, and checked the locations just
suggested by others on the list. I don't doubt the parts are there ....
somewhere. The problem is, I don't know where.
I would fault Zenith for not having a standardized location for parts in the
packing, so that one always looks for things in the same place. That place
should be on the inventory list they create, IMHO. But as far as shorting me
parts, I have no reason at present to suggest Zenith has done anything like
that. They seem honest, and above board.
But in my case, I've already spent 2+ hours looking for 4 parts worth a total
$16. For me, I can't imagine a scenario in which it wouldn't be cheaper and
quicker to replace the parts. When the others turn up later, I can either use
them on the next project, or offer them to someone else with the same
problem.
Shipping by anything other than FEDEX, UPS, or USPS is a large problem here in
far west Texas. It's 150 miles to a freight dock. However, at least I'm not
paying import duties or customs fees.

That is correct for the 4 ply tires but according to the build manual the kit comes
with 6 ply tires.

Subject: | AMD Notification Letter |
This just came in from Mathieu Heintz:
To all,
Please see the latest AMD notification letter at:
http://www.newplane.com/amd/CH2000_Service.html
Or direct link at:
http://www.newplane.com/amd/../Service_Letters_Bulletines/NOTICE%20January%207%202009.pdf
It is an extended version of the recent ZAC posting.
This Notification is very interesting as it raises the possibility of
potential airworthness problems if the aircraft controls are not
secured when the aircraft is parked in high winds.
Regards
Mathieu Heintz

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>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 don't know what I do not know.,

I just did that mode [very quick and easy as you only need to remove a few rivets

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?
Cheers

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. OK for unimproved
runway, I guess. I find 25 psi is just right. 50 psi seems a bit
overpressure to me.

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.
Don't forget to have fun,
Ron
