Gene, I took two considerations in mind when I installed my prop, 1. tracking and
2. a horizontal prop when I turn the engine off.
1. If you cannot get the tracking in spec with one location, remove and rotate,
for example, 180 degrees and see if it helps.
2. For a horizontal prop, I was given this link to the UK Jab site:
(http://www.jabiru. flyer.co. uk/)
"Stand in front of the prop looking back towards the flywheel.
Position the flywheel so that the magnets are vertical. Position the
prop so that it is located in the prop guides that give it an 11.00
o'clock position. It should now stop in the horizontal".
I did this and about 70% of the time I get a horizontal prop on engine shutdown.
Good luck,
--------

| Subject: | New style wingtip on 601XL |
This posting is intended to share information, in case someone else runs into
the same problem. I sent the following query to Zenith this morning:
"I am building 601XL S/N 7410. I have found what may be a discrepency between
the drawings and the packing list/parts shipped.
According to your web site (zenithair/com/zodiac/xl-update-4th-ed-1-08.pdf),
I have the most current revision of drawing 6-W-9. It is dated 01/08. This
drawing shows the wingtip to the finished with a wingtip top angle
(6-W-9-7), a wingtip bottom angle (6-W-9-6), a wingtip sheet (6-W-9-4), and
a fiberglass tip (6-W-9.5).
Of the above items, the packing list shows only the 6-W-9-5, but lists it as
"fiberglass wing tips, full." This matches what appears to have been
delivered. This part appears to extend the full length of the wing tip.
However, there drawing 6-W-9 does not reflect how this part is to be
installed. It appears there may be, or may need to be, an update of this
drawing to reflect the new tip.
Please advise me on what is correct, and what drawing revision is to be
used."
This is Zenith's response - within a couple of hours, I might add:
"What you have found is a transitional issue between the 601XL and the 650.
The fiberglass tips are considered a 650 part that we experimented with on
the 601XL before the 650 was released. I have attached the corresponding 650
drawing that covers the installation of the tip.
Caleb Gebhardt"
While I think Zenith is as human as anyone else, and just as capable of
mistakes, I am favorably impressed at the speed and thoroughness of their
response.

They made about 7 or 8 changes that the drawings are out dated on and even
their web site don't reflect. You have the new style one piece wing tips and it
replaces all the other parts.
One other change is the rear spar channel upright that used to go thru the
baggage floor and you had to make a cut out for it but now they have shortened
the channel and doesn't have to be cut out.
Other changes are the rear upper rudder attach plate is thicker.
the center seat bottoms didn't fit (Called Roger and I think they changed
them)
Upper shoulder harness attach isn't the same as the drawing no reference how
to install.
the NEW BRS bracket didn't fit had to modify it. Again no drawing but they
sent me one.
If you get stuck on anything give me a call

new wing tip as well. Thank you T87
