It looks like a 701 made a hard forced landing after take-off in Eldon, MO.

Mark
the lead in the tube only goes in about 6'.We added a few weights
then on the out side. The hole in the rear spar was enlarged just enough
to clear the weights on the outside.This is at the end of the wing and
does not carry much weight so it is not weakened .In the future if I
need to
service the balance or remove the alerion"excuse the spelling" .

I fully agree with Roger and Jim. I find this publication's attitude very
strange. And let's note that it seems this is the attitude of the
publication... there are other editors and publishers who look at these
things before they go to print. It doesn't seem that this is just some
writer gone rogue. I know that I wrote a strong, referenced, and reasoned
note to the author and editor after the original article and received a
bland reply. Each person is free to project motives onto these folks, but
when I look at it I don't see any reason to continue to belong to AOPA.

| Subject: | The EAA Article? |
A new article just popped up from EAA Experimenter. At second reading, it
seems pretty fair. The author did reporting, not editorializing. I'd have
preferred a brighter spin, but the author took also gave a big picture look
at the FAA, Experimental, and LSA relationships. Your take? See
http://www.eaa.org/experimenter/articles/2010-03_zodiac.asp

I just pitched my AOPA renewal notice in the trash.
Been a member for a few years, but I get the impression that they're more of a
"GA" outfit, and that us homebuilders are not even on their radar.

I was contacted by the AOPA today due to a letter I sent them on this very
subject. I told them that when I owned a Cessna, I seemed to get different
treatment when I called. One of the first questions they asked was what
type of aircraft I had. At the time, I told them a Cessna. OK, all good.
When I recently called to ask a few questions, I was again asked what type
of aircraft I had. I told them an experimental. I did not even mention
the words Zenith 601XL. Instantly the mood changed. I felt like I had just
walked into a school classroom NAKED! So, I sent them a letter telling
them what my experience was and that I felt I did not need to be a member of
an organization that makes me feel like that. Well, yesterday, they called
and I let them have it verbally; I told them they are going to see a drop
in their membership due to people feeling like second rate citizens
because we own experimental aircraft. I explained that I wanted them to take
my
name off their list and do not contact me again, unless they go to work for
the EAA.
Vented!!
