    List, Has anyone devised an easy way to sand the paint around the drilled out rivets. Also will it be better to paint just around the rivets and try to blend the paint or sand the whole part and paint again?? If primer is used around the sanded area it will take more coats of paint to cover and hide the color. Any ideas? Bobby

    Mike, I picked up my upgrade kit yesterday from Zenith. I asked Roger the same question and his reply was that the fuselage stiffeners are NOT part of the upgrade. He had "some time to spare" and it only took him four hours. You will have to purchase additional stiffeners to do the fuselage mod.

Thus, I would be very surprised if the material to do this is present in the parts package. Zenith is saying that this is something you might want to do, not something that must be done as a part of the modification.

Most of the time, aluminum isn't sand blasted, because it removes the protective layer of aluminum at the surface of the material. The best bet is probably paint remover. When that's done, a wooden craft stick can be used to scrape the paint from around the rivet. It's a tedious process, but it's better for the metal. Whether you repaint the whole thing, or just touch it up seems to me to be a personal call. It's probably going to look better it if it's totally stripped and repainted. But that's a lot of work. I doubt Zenith went that far on their demo aircraft. -- ======================================= Jim B.

    From: "Sabrina" <chicago2paris@msn.com>
    Hello guys! Back in classes today for the first time this year... With no Zenith upgrade kit in hand and no date offered for delivery, I canceled it. I am currently working on a nearly invisible (from 50') externally braced reinforcement... the vast number of hours required to install an internal kit that has not been proven to be or even claimed by CH to be a cure for the structural failures is a key reason... so too, I started this project as an educational experience and I don't see much educational value in tearing down my aircraft and reinstalling parts that are just that much thicker when I can (hopefully) design an easy to install externally braced alternative... So too, my center spar and forward fuselage is so heavily modified with aluminum/foam/aluminum reinforcement, to remove those modifications in order to install Zenith's would add a hundred hours to the process, possibly damage the outer skins beyond repair, and may prove no stronger. My Phase 1 flight envelope will be limited to a small portion of the class Delta airspace over my airport, but I can live with that. For those with open cockpit experience, what do you think of flying an XL based aircraft with the canopy removed (full face motorcycle helmet and parachute, of course)? It would save me the 10-15 seconds it would take to eject the canopy before jumping in case my calculations on the external bracing were wrong. For those of you who have ridden a motorcycle at 120 MPH, how much different is it than 55MPH? Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=282252#282252

    From: "vbhisey" <vishwasbhisey@yahoo.com>
    I am in the final process of negotiating a purchase of a 601 UL. From what I have read so far, the model with the structural problems seems to be the XL model (except for the UK crash, which was attributed to pilot error). Am I right about this?

    Subject: Re: Upgrade kit
    Hi Sabrina, I know you are not doing it on purpose, but you are going to make me worry about you. I know you don't want to take your plane apart and install the changes, but I hope you reconsider this and decide to do it anyway. While the real usefulness of the changes is subject to question, I feel it is a really good idea to use it. The accidents don't have much in common except all the planes broke in the same place. That is the area that is getting beefed up. Maybe you would consider writing to Chris and asking him about your changes vs. the ones he blessed. It could be he knows more than he is saying . . . If you want to fly your Zodiac open cockpit, I suggest you install a windshield. I have not ridden a motorcycle at 120, but I have done it over 90 and I can tell you the wind is noticeable. I also hope we all pay attention to the experience of the modified Zodiac XLs. If the accidents go away then I will be convinced the changes did some good.

    I would be great if Zenith or AMD put out extensive videos of their test flights like RV and published Dynon G meter logs on their upgraded aircraft... Are they testing to +6/-4? +4/-2? I fear more harm than good will come from opening her up. I am told that the only common maintenance thread in every crash is that the wings were removed at least once after being fully torqued in place. My aircraft has had the wings torqued in place just once, and I plan on keeping it that way for now. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=282289#282289

    Don't forget the scratch build alternative to save some bucks on the L-angles. For the price of 2'x4' sheet of .025 6061-T6 from ACS ($17), a 2x4 stud from your local lumber yard ($2), and 5 4"-C-clamps from Harbor Freight ($25), plus your trusty Olfa cutter, you can produce 64 ft of L-angle in a matter of a few hours using Craig Payne's technique as published in Zenair News #169. If you've got a 4' brake, it's even easier. Craig's clever idea works like a charm. I've even modified Craig's dies a little to try to make Z-angle. If it works out, I'll write something up.

    If you are referring to the 601-HD-like model (main landing gear made of 2" tube), you are correct. Only the XL and the 650 require the upgrade.

    Sabrina, 120mph on a motorcycle puts a great deal of pressure on you. Try to deflect the wind away from your head and shoulders. A partial windscreen with bracing should suffice and still allow a quick exit if necessary. Perhaps you can find someone who has a fractured canopy and you can cut what you need from it. -------- 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=282368#282368
