I would highly recommend all new builders check their tire balance after they assemble the wheels and tires, other wise they will have to do it later. I bought a piece of 3/4 steel rod and turned it down to fit the bearings and placed it on a pair of jack stands. I never even gave the nose fork idea a thought, great idea. I ran out of room to place the 1/4 oz weights so I went to a truck tire place and was able to get 1 oz weights. I ended up with 6 oz's of weight on the first wheel I did last night. I will add the duct tape this morning. Thanks again PS Does anybody have any suggestions or experiences with the bunny hop thing??

From: John Marzulli It seems like you need to have the friction block and bellcrank in place to find the exact location of the holes in the instrument panel. Can someone give me the approximate position? I am laying out my instrument panel and want to know what area I need to reserve. Thanks, John Marzulli http://www.GenevieveMarzulli.org/ http://MarzulliPhoto.net/ http://701Builder.blogspot.com/ ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 10:24:39 PM PST US From: "Craig Payne" Subject: RE: Zenith701801-List: Aproximate location of the hole for the throttle handle in the panel? Don't cut metal based on these but the original holes in my panel for the rigid throttle rods shown in the plans (which I didn't use) appeared to be symmetrical. Both the copilot and pilot-side holes are 4.5 inches over from the lower corners of the panel and 3.75 inches up from the lower edge of the panel. Some people like the throttle design in the plans and some don't (go figure). I didn't with a Rotax 912 as the springs on the carbs make it hard to get the friction just right. I went with a vernier throttle on the pilot side and no throttle on the copilot side. Since the cable from the throttle to the firewall is flexible I also gained "flexibility" in the placement of the throttle on my panel. Life is full of compromises. If you are installing a Rotax and go with just a single throttle there is a throttle from McFarlane that splits into two cables at the panel. Joe Spencer installed one and his initial reports were positive: http://www.mcfarlaneaviation.com/Details.aspx?ID=11744352 &Article=199 This allows you to eliminate the linkage/mixer rod forward of the firewall. -- Craig From: owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of John Marzulli Sent: Friday, August 07, 2009 9:05 PM Subject: Zenith701801-List: Aproximate location of the hole for the throttle handle in the panel?
