Are they attached to the vertical L angles by rivets or do they just stop short. and if they don't attach to the vertical L's how is it stronger or is it just to stop the oil canning like the wings are..

It is my understanding though that they are there to stop the oil canning of the skin, not to add any real strength to the structure. > > > > Hi > can someone tell me if the rear side fuse diagonal L angles > actually tie into the verticals ?

They do not tie in at either end. That is per the plans and a conversation with Roger at ZAC.

It is just to stiffen the fuselage sides and stop oil canning.

Debo and I started scratch building about the same time fall 2005. Debo is a Park Ranger down at Jockey Ridge and had no metal working background when he started. We watched each others progress over the years and I must say I was quite impressed with what he seemed to be achieving, take a look at his kitlog site http://mykitlog.com/debo and you will begin to understand what I am talking about. Debo made a sweet deal on a Todds Canopy awhile back and he posted it for sale on E-bay. I bought it and looked at the cost of shipping it or just driving down and getting it, it was about the same and I really wanted to see his plane with my own eyes. He has decided to go another way, He now has a Greyhound Bus ground pounder problem (RV only not flight worthy). He is going to be selling his Zenith Zodiac CH 601 XL and I thought you guys might like to know something about the condition it's in. Debo has done very meticulous work, as good as some of my better apprentices. His attention to the details and finish are as good as what comes from Zenith. I even told him it looked better than what factory produced. Whoever buys this plane in it's current state will have a very quick build. Contact Debo directly for details: Debo Cox -------- Ron Lendon, Clinton Township, MI WW Corvair with Roy's Garage 5th bearing Zodiac XL, ScrapBuilder ;-) http://www.mykitlog.com/rlendon Corvair Engine Prints: http://home.comcast.net/~rlendon/site/ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=252677#252677 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith650-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith650-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith650-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith650-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
