    List, I have the Jabiru 3300 in my 601 XL. CHT's on the right bank 1, 3, & 5 are all aroung 265 ~ 275 degrees. On the right bank #2 is 270 to 280 but #4 is running 335 plus and #6 is 345 and above. Has anyone had any luck adding a lip on the eyebrow inlet of the left bank?? The prop is coming up on that side and a lip may help direct more ram air into the duct. I have seen a couple of photos but no real evidence or documentation that it has helped. any info would be greatly appreciated. I have been chasing temperatures for the last 60 hours. Thanks Bobby Jacksonville, Fl.

    There is no need to glue them if the gap between the wing and side skin is within 4 or so mm. I rivet the ends to the wing and have never had a problem. if you glue them you will just tare them up if you have to remove them for any reason. Jeff In a message dated 9/2/2010 4:35:14 P.M.

    Subject: 6G2-3 stop plate
    From: Lee Steensland <zenith-list@steensland.net>
    Folks, I've been toying with the nose gear leg, and I noticed something. First I don't have a 6G2-3 stop plate anywhere. It doesn't appear on any of the packing slips and I don't have one in my inventory. Further, when I look at the top of my nose gear leg where the stop plate is supposed to mount, all I see is a smooth plastic plug press fit into the tube. The plans and the construction guide do not do a good job showing how it connects. Any ideas how the stop plate is supposed to connect?

    Are they 40 or .063? They look like the .040 but hard to tell from the photo. Jeff In a message dated 8/31/2010 11:55:34 A.M.

    You have the newer version and it doesn't require a stop plate. Zenith made the tube a little longer to eliminate it. jeff In a message dated 9/2/2010 8:22:04 P.M.

    Lee, If I am not mistaken, the latest kits do not have a stop plate on top of the nose gear strut. My kit from 2006 had a stop plate, but my friend's quick build kit from 2009 doesn't have one.
