I am aware of the new limits for the rear elevator put out from Zenith but has there been any changes to the trim deflection. Any suggestions.

There is a something called a "patch cord cockpit voice recorder"pn: 13-01456. Any body out there using this or have other ideas thanks Glenn -------- 601XL N676L reserved ALMOST DONE CHESAPEAKE VA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=225576#225576 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:52:36 PM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: Rear Elevator trim deflection From: "Ron Lendon" No changes that I'm aware of. The prints are what I follow and mine are dated 8/05 for 6T6. The on-line builder site updates don't state any changes either for the trim tab 20 degrees up and 40 degrees down. >From what I've learned about things the prints and a cross check of the print updates are what you need to follow. If you find a mistake or can't quite determine the answer, post a note here or call Zenith for help. -------- Ron Lendon, Clinton Township, MI WW Corvair with Roy's Garage 5th bearing Zodiac XL, ScrapBuilder ;-) http://www.mykitlog.com/rlendon Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=225588#225588 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:25:15 PM PST US From: N1BZRich@aol.com Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: VEDIO AND AUDIO RECORDING In a message dated 1/18/2009 9:24:23 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, gljno10@hotmail.com writes: patch cord cockpit voice recorder Glenn, Here is a suggestion that I have used while doing phase one testing on several different experimental aircraft, including the 601XL that the EAA chapter in Williamsburg (Chapter 156) built. Get yourself a voice activated digital recorder and a lapel microphone. The one I have came from Radio Shack about four years ago. Place the lapel mic (they are very small) in one of the ear cups of your headset. Turn on the recorder in the voice activation mode and be sure the aircraft intercom is also on. Now anything that you hear in your headset will activate the digital recorder. I suggest you also "talk to yourself" to record any test data (engine data or flight data) that you want to record during the flight for later playback and test analysis. And yes, there is also a patch cord adapter that we used in fighters (I flew F-4s for 28 years, so this was many years ago). When we wanted to record an air to air engagement we carried a small tape recorder in the G suit pocket and turned on the tape recorder before each engagement. Being able to replay each engagement before the debriefing helped us remember specific things we wanted to debrief. Blue Skies, Buz Rich **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Of course, my previous comments had to do with audio recording. As to video recording, I recommend not trying to do any video recording if you are thinking about any kind of hand held camera. Your hands will be busy enough just flying the airplane during any testing. So keep the hands on the stick and throttle. Now if you have a helmet mounted camera or something that you can set up that you don't have to touch during the flight - OK.

I would add 2 more rivets on the open sides to pull up the skins. I have seen this on big planes . Kev -------- Austria .............
