Thanks I'm no doubt a devout coward, but I always initially cut cables longer thanthey could possibly need to be. Without a cable jig, it's almost impossible to get them the right length. That way, I don't wind up finddling around trying to s-t-r-e-t-c-h that extra inch that isn't there. Mine are cut to reach the far side of the cockpit. I don't doubt that I may wind up buying more cable, but that's cheap compared to trying to the frustration of having the cable too short, or having to be too ultra precise in my measurements. -- ============================================ Do not archive. ============================================ Jim B Belcher BS, MS Physics, Math, Computer Science A&P/IA Retired aerospace technical manager ============================================ ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:08:17 AM PST US From: "T. Graziano" Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: Aileron cable length F W I W: In my kit, ser 6-5342, there was more than enough cable to permit the "rough cuts" to be long. I had quite a bit of cable left. I also had plenty of spare rivets left over. Zenith did provide enough material in the kit.

Thanks [quote] Maybe ya could use a string first? A strong string should be able to get you pretty close. -------- Ron Lendon, Clinton Township, MI WW Corvair with Roy's Garage 5th bearing Zodiac XL, ScrapBuilder ;-) http://www.mykitlog.com/rlendon Corvair Engine Prints: http://home.comcast.net/~rlendon/site/ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=244058#244058 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:42:14 PM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: 601 Rotax Engine Mount From: "Tommy Walker" 601 builders. I have a CZEC built 601XL Rotax 921ULS motor mount that is for sale. It includes everything except a couple of the bolts used for mounting. If you are interested, I will sell it for $100.00 US, plus shipping. The mount was removed from a 2003 XL. I also have a couple of other parts that would fit a Rotax 601XL.
