I have been looking over my 601HD plans and noticed that the rib forming blocks
did not show the crimp locations. Does anyone know where i can find that information
before I begin making the forms?

For me, the crimp locations were not on the blocs. Crimps were made with pliers
after forming to straighten the rib. For location , I drew the rivet pattern
on a template strip, marked my desired locations for crimps and I crimped
each rib.

Hi Nelson,
The spacing of your rivets on the skins should determine the consistent
position of your crimps.
I made a strip of aluminum 3/4-inch wide with a straight line on it and
punched rivet holes in it for marking the center of the rib and rivet
locations.
This was used to repeat drilling the skins for consistent alignment both
ways. It also preceded crimping the ribs formed at best intervals.

ll-strip(2).gif
That page shows the center section of my wing, but the process holds well
for any wing.

All very useful information, thanks!
I should have asked this question at the start but here goes. I haven't crawled
into my fuselage yet (think I'll wait until it is on the gear) but was curious
about the optimum height of the seat back. I'm 6'1" tall, so can anyone suggest
how much, if any, I should extend the seat back above the top support? With
the laid-back orientation of the Zodiac seat I would think that some head
support would be in order.
Thanks!
Tim

Hi Tim,
I don't have any head support in mine and I am comfortable in the seat.
The important issue, from my perspective, is the constitution of the
cushion you provide for the seat. This trumps the seat back which
mostly serves to cover the big hole below the baggage compartment cross
piece.
I got a hold of three different kinds of foam which I used in my seat
cushions. There are two different memory foam (pink and blue) and heavy
grade polyurethane foam on top - the kind recommended for dinner chair
cushions. These are covered with Duck cloth. I wanted to try leather
but I decided the cloth was more comfortable.
Have fun,
Paul
