Carlos ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carlos Sa Subject: Zenith-List: CH601-HD(S) fuselage assembly Hello, folks My aluminum stack is finally starting to resemble an aircraft (if you have a lot of imagination, that is): http://www.zenith.aero/photo/img-6058 When I put the front side skins in place (just to have an idea of what it would look like), I noticed the interference between the side skins, heel support and floor (the rolled end of the floor). The attached pics show the offending area. The instructions simply say "trim as required" (or something like that). To me, it seems I'll have to remove a semi-circle one or two inches in diameter - as I haven't seen any comments about this, I am a little concerned. I also have looked at a few of the CH601 sites still on-line, but I did not find any picture or comment that would clarify this. Thanks in advance for your comments / suggestions Carlos CH601-HD, plans ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:07:44 AM PST US From: "Larry McFarland" Subject: RE: Zenith601-List: Fwd: Zenith-List: CH601-HD(S) fuselage assembly From: owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Carlos Sa Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 6:38 AM Subject: Zenith601-List: Fwd: Zenith-List: CH601-HD(S) fuselage assembly I took more pictures and a short movie: http://www.flickr.com/photos/54366879@N06/ Maybe this will joggle the memory of CH601-HD(S) builders... HI Carlos, I remember the area you speak of and I'd be cautious of trimming until you have the front side piece on. The bottom rolled edge is the hard part to get in place, so it may require on and off while rolling the material around a tapering radius a bit. I used a piece of pipe and hand rolled it carefully to get it right. Before doing that, I'd recommend you cut a piece that you can make a sample radius to get a fit and then do the same to the piece. My progress here slowed a bit until it was right. See link and large assembly2 page for pictures around this area. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/largeassembly2/full/rtinfwd.gif Larry McFarland 601HDS at macsmachine.com Carlos ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carlos Sa Subject: Zenith-List: CH601-HD(S) fuselage assembly Hello, folks My aluminum stack is finally starting to resemble an aircraft (if you have a lot of imagination, that is): http://www.zenith.aero/photo/img-6058 When I put the front side skins in place (just to have an idea of what it would look like), I noticed the interference between the side skins, heel support and floor (the rolled end of the floor).

(I spend quite a bit of time viewing your web site - thanks for keeping it. ) I just got a reply from Caleb: "I see what it going on now. You will probably have to trim a little on the cabin floor sides and the side skins to get it to clear the leading edge. Now that I see what the problem is, I wouldn't trim the leading edge at all. You will need to make a small cutout out in the side skin that the leading edge will slip into. You will probably also need to make a small cutout in the cabin floor to give clearance for the side skin. I wouldn't worry too much about trimming either part." Interesting that this problem did not happen before... (judging from Caleb's difficulty in understanding it) Regards Carlos On 10 July 2012 10:07, Larry McFarland wrote: > ** ** > > ** ** > > *From:* owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com [mailto: > owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com] *On Behalf Of *Carlos Sa > *Sent:* Tuesday, July 10, 2012 6:38 AM > *To:* zenith601-list@matronics.com; zenith-list@matronics.com > *Subject:* Zenith601-List: Fwd: Zenith-List: CH601-HD(S) fuselage assembl y > **** > > ** ** > > I took more pictures and a short movie: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/54366879@N06/ **** > > ** ** > > Maybe this will joggle the memory of CH601-HD(S) builders...**** > > ** ** > > HI Carlos,**** > > I remember the area you speak of and I=92d be cautious of trimming until you > have the front side piece on.**** > > The bottom rolled edge is the hard part to get in place, so it may requir e > on and off while rolling the material **** > > around a tapering radius a bit.

EAA Homebuilt Parking is reserving the same parking spaces as we had last year for us, just north of the Homebuilders Headquarters and north of the Cannon Camera viewing stand. Again, we are near the Zenith factory display. Follow the NOTAMS for the signage needed to park your plane. Please print another sign with the word ZENITH on it. The volunteers parking the planes will guide you to the reserved Zenith row. Unfortunately, EAA will not provide a sperate parking spot for Zenigh Homebuilt Camping. But they said if there is enough interest and if there is someone who would get there early enough to get a spot in the back, and if you know how many people would like to camp together, they will make arrangements to accomidate us. It would be interesting to know how many people will be sleeping under their wings with their Zeniths this year! If you plan to, please let me know and we will see if there is enough interest. Don't forget to confirm your banquet spot right away. Seating lis limited and you need to confirm as soon as you can. You can get information at the Zenith display. Jon Croke is donating 3 Zenair Archive CDs ($49 each) for the dinner. These disks have the entire Zenair Newsletter collection in .PDF format for easy searching thru all of the past years of the Newsletter. Thanks Jon! See you in Oshkosh!
