Stay with the 63 mm duct tube and go visit the hardware store and look for a rubber or plastic tube end insert that will take car of the difference in the airfilter end. Take the airfilter with you to be able to test on site. Your duct tube is able to accomodate some mismatch, but the 63/61 mm difference is simply a little too much. Tighten a good jubilee clip over the doubled tube-end and you are ready to fly... BR Max, in Helsinki opposite NZ > Hi List > We have recently purchased a Zenith XL 601 with Rotax 912 ULS.

Hi Sorry to hear about your health problems I may be interested in the plane after I sell the Champ 7AC But right now Don't believe any thing is selling Do you have any photos of the 601 and what price are you asking for it Thanks Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Carroll Jernigan To: zenith601-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 8:30 AM Subject: Zenith601-List: How do you sell a project? How do you go about selling a home built project? For health considerations there is no longer any reason for me to continue construction of an aircraft that I will never fly. Several local builders have suggested that I part it out but it took me five years to get to where I am now and I don't have the heart to take it apart. I briefly offered it for sale on Barnstormers last year but when my prognosis improved I took it off Barnstormers and went back to work on it. Now it seems I must try to move it again. I had almost no reaction to my ad on Barnstormers and am really not impressed with with that format. Anybody got any ideas?
