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. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:49:45 PM PST US From: Afterfxllc@aol.com Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: Wing Fairing 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.

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? ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:34:46 PM PST US From: Afterfxllc@aol.com Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: Re: center spar upgrade 6ZU 3-2 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.

Zenith made the tube a little longer to eliminate it. jeff In a message dated 9/2/2010 8:22:04 P.M.

My kit from 2006 had a stop plate, but my friend's quick build kit from 2009 doesn't have one.
