They list them for $340. It might be worth the investment. That MM020 is probably a builder assigned serial number for the FAA paperwork, not a Zenith plans serial number. The builder of a plans-built E-AB can call the plane anything he wants and can assign any serial number he wants. You just have to put something in the blanks on the FAA forms.

I tried to contact the builder but hes disappeared and Zenith wont help me because they say the serial number is not in their records. I have questions about fuel system and have been trying to get all the info I can find. I have gone through the forum and found many useful posts but would like to chat with someone familiar with the design. Would anyone here be interested in giving me a hand? I would also like copies of fuel system as designed. > > > > The plane looks OK except for what I consider serious deficiencies in the plumbing. The canopy is a terrible mess as well.

Maybe someone who is already registered would allow me to use their password to get on the builder's forum. Or I guess I could see if anyone who is finished or doesn't need the forum will let just let me us their serial number to get registered on the forum. >> >> >> Timothy A.

It would seem Zenith would be able to give you the number of the plans based on the name of the person he purchased it from, if he was the first owner. > > They might be able to do that, but there might be legal or privacy issues preventing them from doing so. -- Bryan Martin N61BM, CH 601 XL, RAM Subaru, Stratus redrive. do not archive. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:05:20 PM PST US From: Richard Vetterli Subject: Zenith601-List: 601XLB still for sale Due to life changes, my 601XLB is for sale. For sale is everything Firewall AFT, as I have sold the WW Corvair that powered this plane. Some damage to the nosegear mounting hardware after a hard (uncoordinated & totally my fault) landing. So, you can have a completed (formerly flying) aircraft for a little more than the kit cost. A little front-end repair work, install the engine of your choice and youll be ready to go. Includes radio, transponder and all flight & engine instruments. $17,000 for everything. Hangered in Livermore, California (LVK). Type in N56DV on YouTube to watch the first flight (with an ugly takeoff). Thanks, Rich Vetterli ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:51:23 PM PST US From: JohnDRead@aol.com Subject: Zenith601-List: NSI Subaru for sale Hello all, I am parting out a CH601-HDS I have the NSI/Subaru power plant, engine mount, and an adjustable three blade prop for sale.
