Speaking of c of g with the 601/Jabiru 3300
Mine moves aft as mentioned with passenger and reducing fuel.
I definately feel horizontal sensitivity increase if I have a heavy passenger as
fuel burns off.
Does the 650 have a mount that moves the engine further forward?
I heard that the later mount for Rotax moved it further forward, I am wondering
if the Jab fw mount did the same?
Would seem to be a good idea, can anyone confirm this?
(Now 140 hrs going great- Perth, West Australia).

| Subject: | Airplane Cover for an Outdoor Bird? |
Who do we like for a 601XL cover for a bird that is outside... in the Florida Keys?
(Main environmental problem is sunshine/UV!)
Kennon has a nice cover, but I'd like to shop around. Jim at planecover.com says
he has a pattern for a "Zenith 601", but he (and I) don't know if that
will fit a 601-XL.
So, two questions:
1. Have you purchased a nice fitting cover from a company and what is that company
name?
2. Should there be any difference in the canopy / fuselage size between a classic
601 and a 601-XL? (As I remember it, the difference is in the wing length/shape)
Thanks!

I just wanted to chime in and say that I completely agree with Paul who
said, "The biggest limitation for me is the light wing loading when combined
with unstable air."
These light sport aircraft weigh less than 800-900 pounds dry. The tail
of a white puffy cloud can give you an unexpected slap in the rudder that
makes you say, "Whoa"! This ain't no Cherokee.
Also, it is my personal opinion that the lower rudder bearing is another
problem waiting to sneak up on folks. Look for rudder play (up and down)
on every pre-flight. We put an Oilite impregnated bearing on my airplane
and there is NO up and down rudder movement. I'm coming up on 450
flying hours on my airplane and I've loved every hour. (Well, there was
that one time just north of Naples... but that's another story...)
