MGL has preannounced their new XTreme EFIS over on the Yahoo user-to-user
group. Working units will be shown at Oshkosh with first deliveries towards
the end of the year. I'm pushing for final dimensions so folks can design it
into their panels now. Picture attached, more information here:

Chris-
Sorry it took a while to get back to you- I've been trying to do some
yard work between the local monsoons.
I get about 590mm to 6C4-1, depending on where you're measuring to. I
think I see what your concern is. The hoop bracket 6C3-9 has a foot that's
60mm long, and that will overlap the foot of 6C4-1 by about 20mm when placed
per the print. BUT, that doesn't interfere with placement of the frony hoop.
I haven't placed my hoops yet (I'm just closing up the cockpit and have
to polish at least the edges before mounting the canopy) but there's no
interference whatsover in the 510mm region for the front hoop. I'll jog the
foot of 6C3-9 to fit over the foot of 6C4-1. If what I'm seeing is what
you're worried about, I don't see any reason you can't reverse 6C4-1 to
eliminate the jog. I'm sure as hell not moving mine at this point!
If that's not what your problem is, both Larry Mac and I have noticed
differences in the print dimensions vs what you need for an HDS (Entire rail
is about 1/2" too long). I don't know what you're building and I haven't
seen any complaints posted by XL builders, so if you're building an XL this
should be a non-issue.
How's your panel positioned in relation to the firewall, and do you have
the new or old style motor mounts?
Bill

Netheads,
I made a trip/vacation down to Nags Head NC to pick up a canopy from Debo Cox for my Zodiac XL. Debo and I started scratch building about the same time fall 2005. Debo is a Park Ranger down at Jockey Ridge and had no metal working background when he started. We watched each others progress over the years and I must say I was quite impressed with what he seemed to be achieving, take a look at his kitlog site http://mykitlog.com/debo and you will begin to understand what I am talking about.
Debo made a sweet deal on a Todds Canopy awhile back and he posted it for sale
on E-bay. I bought it and looked at the cost of shipping it or just driving down
and getting it, it was about the same and I really wanted to see his plane
with my own eyes. He has decided to go another way, He now has a Greyhound Bus
ground pounder problem (RV only not flight worthy). He is going to be selling
his Zenith Zodiac CH 601 XL and I thought you guys might like to know something
about the condition it's in.
Debo has done very meticulous work, as good as some of my better apprentices.
His attention to the details and finish are as good as what comes from Zenith.
I even told him it looked better than what factory produced.
Whoever buys this plane in it's current state will have a very quick build. Contact
Debo directly for details: Debo Cox

Chris,
Have you looked at installing thr 650 canopy latches.They are much more secure
in the latching of the canopy. I have the old installed and I am not really happy
with how secure they are. I have the new ones all cut out ready for welding.
Aircraft Spruce has all the material. The plans are on the Zenith 650 web site,
plus a couple of other places with photos also. (65-C-1 and -2). I believe
you can buy the parts from Zenith also.
Just a thought.
