I drilled the -6 rivets out with a #20 (1/8 inch) drill almost all the way through. I found that one has to at least have the drill tip go up to the "shop head". I then used a 1/8 punch with a 2X air hammer set at a low pressure. The few times the shop head came off, I was able to drive the whole remain ing rivet body out with a 3/16 punch. Keeping all the pieces tight while doing this also helps and reduces the strain on any one piece of metal. -------- Mark Hubelbank N708HU CH601XL Jabiru 3300 Rotec TBI 40 carb Sensenich ground adj prop. 41 hr TAF Pictures at photo.hubbles.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=282782#282782 ======================== =========== ======================== =========== ======================== =========== ======================== =========== ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:54:53 AM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: Upgrade kit From: "DaveG601XL" Sabrina, Strain gages usually require input current in the milliamp range and output millivolts so I am not sure a Dynon is the best excitation source and data recording system. Of course, a portable dynamic (AC) data system like EDAS would be better than a DC system any day. It is what we use at the big jet motor factory. I have not researched it and you probably have so I would be interested in your set-up. I would also be interested in what spots you choose for the gages. http://www.edasinc.com/index.php Good luck, -------- David Gallagher 601 XL/Jabiru 3300 First flight 7/24/08 116.5 hours and holding (incorporating upgrade) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=282877#282877 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:57:55 AM PST US From: Jim Belcher Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: Zenith601-list: Log book entry On Friday 22 January 2010 08:24:38 you wrote: > > Can anyone help? > > I downloaded a sample logbook entry for an annual inspection.

Remember, they have a much harder time hanging you for words you don't put in a logbook. It's the words you put it that can get you. Short and sweet is usually good. ======================================= Jim B.

If not the caps will separate and lock the rivet as you try and remove it.

And I think the same spar. Zenith should try and stop the sale's of this plane unless they have been paid for the use of the design. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:55:30 AM PST US From: afterfxllc@aol.com Subject: Zenith601-List: New Piper Light Sport part1_6113.7c5b7fa4.388b1b31_boundary-- ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 09:00:07 AM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: Zenith601-list: Log book entry From: "DaveG601XL" Are you talking certified or experimental? We do not do "annuals" on experimental airplanes, we do "condition inspections." If experimental, your operating limitations will give you the exact verbiage to use. Mine tells me to write "I certify that this aircraft has been inspected on (insert date) in accordance with the scope and detail of appendix "D" to FAR Part 43 and found to be in condition for safe operation."

Technically, you are correct. Change the word "annual" to "condition" in my blurb, or use the words you propose. If the FAA has approved documentation for any aircraft, it normally supersedes all other documentation. The appendix you cite is also the one normally used when doing an annual on an aircraft for which no type certificate exists. -- ======================================= Jim B.

The entry will include the aircrafts total time-in-service, and the name, signature, certificate number, and type of certificate held by the person performing the inspection. The above entry is required by the Operating Limitations, you should find it stated there.

Remove the rivet head. Drill a 3/32 pilot head about 2/3 way through. Drill it out to 1/8. Stand the wing up on it's nose on 2 sawhorses. Cut a 2X4 that will reach from the floor up to the bottom of the spar. Drill a 3/8" hole in the end of the 2X4 a couple of inches deep. Place the 2X4 with the hole over the head of the rivet you wish to remove. It will now drive out easily with a 1/8 punch and hammer. This worked really well for me. The hammer blows go down through the 2X4 and not out into the wing. It is also a one person job this way.
