Good afternoon Jake, I am just busy attaching mine to the rudder skin,
the wire is 16 guage. It comes in rolled in a 6ft length which needs to
be cut in half.
Regards
Mark Kershaw

Thanks Ken, I'll take a look at those lights.
I just found the Tail Kit assembly manual on the Zenith website. On the
exploded view it appears like the holes for the wires are pre-drilled.
Does anyone know the gauge of the wire the Zenith tail light uses?
Thanks.
Jake

Hi Tommy,
I found this through the wayback internet archives, it is a sample from the late
90s Zenith website.

This is from a bathroom scale that weighs to the 10th of a pound.
I get 20.5# BUT I don't know how accurate the scale is.

Does anyone have the main gear leg laying around that they could put
on a scale?
Just the gear, nothing mounted. THANKS John

John,
Slow. Very slow.
Wings, tail feathers, engine, instruments, etc, are on and engine runs.
Need to do the sheet metal between wings & fuselage, fairing at rudder, and the
cowling.
Doors fitted, then removed (they get in the way of progress).
Paint may be much later.
Actually, it is 99% done and 100% left to do.....
I'm 67 and still working 50 hours/week. Probably should decide which is more important!
Regards,
Zed

| Subject: | Re: Older Doors. Internet, long. |
When I built my first airplane, there was no internet, only by letter...
or by EXPENSIVE international phone calls from here...
One good thing for all of us, is not to be shy to comment, every post will help
someone else.
Expert builders, a few, learning builders, the rest of us. Newbies always coming,
hope they keep subscribing, so the process don't stop...
I remember, my first letter I wrote to the designer of my first project, a JN-1
single seater ultralight. Was asking the designer what a "tinnerman nut" was,
He answered me (the letter got here 3 months later) that I should NOT build
an airplane with my poor knowledge :-( I felt bad about it.
6 months later a friend gave as a souvenir from his visit to Usa, a Spruce Catalog
(two year old at the time), a give away from his brother's neighbor in California...
Its weight in gold for me!
There I knew what "that" nut was (saw the drawing), we use them here, but with
another name, by the way, the JN-1 was never started, we did not use the Dow foam
here at that time.
Still have the plans... Maybe some time later...
