AS previously mentioned, this presentation (in lay-man's terms) will bring peace of mind to us the builders, our spouses, and anyone else who gives a hoot! Also, it will bring the 601/650's values back to where they should be.

This is due to the dihedral of the wing. The outboard end of the tank is higher than the float when it is jammed against the top of the tank. I am using the Dynon D-180 and after about 8 gallons you will notice on filling further the output of the gauge never changes. I set my tanks to read 7 gallons when full and they stay on seven until it gets below that. They are extremely accurate from seven down. The last 30 min. is the most important. Most gauges are only accurate when reading empty. Hope this helps bobby - 601 XL - Fl ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:49:56 PM PST US From: Michel Therrien Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: Video of the FAA Report and Load Test Very interesting..
