George Do Not Archive ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:47:51 AM PST US From: MacDonald Doug Subject: Zenith701801-List: Dataplate locatoion Hi guys, I am starting to nail daown the final details of my 701 project. One of the remaining details of the project is the placement of my aircraft dataplate. I live in Canada and have checked with Transport Canada. They tell me I can place it anywhere on the exterior that would be visible from the ground standing outside the aircraft or a place in the interior where it can be seen standing at the main entrance. In otherwords, I can place it anyplace I want (within reason). Since I live on the border, I was thinking that it would make sense to meet the US standard as well and the Canadian one since I will likely fly to the US at some point. The question then becomes, what is the US standard for dataplate location?

Ive been off the build for a few months to work to support the project :). Nice to be back in the shop and blogging again! Appreciate any advice from my fellow listers on getting the wing nose skins to conform to nose ribs. Not as bad as horiz stab but still frustrating. Couple of questions 1) If the nose skin conforms to all nose ribs except for first rivet holes on ribs 2 & 5 (ones without slat brackets) and the skin overlaps the top skin by 15 - 17 mm (rather than the 20mm specified) am I correct to assume this is as good as it gets and just shim the first rivet holes on nose ribs 2 & 5 to avoid dimples? 2) The plans and videos show a number of different strapping plans. Are the straps suppose to go completely around wing or should ends be secured to table. If the latter, how do you get the 2x4 support under trailing edge not to move. (I did both - 6 straps anchored to table as in video and a couple extra completely around wing. Finally clamped 2x4 to table and had a couple of very large friends hold everything. 3) Do I dare ask without getting jealous if the new 750 kit has preformed metal to avoid these issues? I very close to ordering the kit as I may have a buyer for my 701. Appreciate your help folks.
