Don't cut the "Y" off. If you can weld then it is not difficult to
duplicate the bottom part and make a complete dual system. That way you
have both. All I have to do to replace the duals with the "Y" is remove
two bolts and unplug the wiring. Then you can switch back and forth.
Let us know which you like best.
Remember when building the sticks, to put a large "C" in them (see my
pictures). If you make straight sticks then you will have difficultly
getting in and out. With the "C" it real easy to get in and out.
Take care, Larry N1345L

I haven't seen a drawing) is that the grip is offset from the pivot...so
when moving it left to right you get a bunch of vertical travel too. Maybe in
practice it isn't noticeable, but I don't like the idea of it...kinda weird seeming,
like the rest of the plane. Certainly not for the purists. I'm sticking
with the Y

I ask one question regarding dual sticks and unless I missed it no one gave
me the answer I ask for.
How many degrees forward on the sticks. I have been in both and from the
start there was no
question which one I wanted. Still no one has answered my question, but
has given me tons of advice
that I didn`t ask for. How many DEGREES? Joseph

| Subject: | Re: Rudder Spacer - The search for a straight edge |
I'm finished with all the structural assembly on my CH801, but working on
detail stuff like electrical, paint, etc. My advice is to take ALL of Zenith's
jigging recommendations with a huge grain of salt. I pretty much got
frustrated with their ways of doing things, and switched to using a
el-cheapo laser level which casts a really nice red line, and jigging
assemblies straight with wood scraps which I simply screw to my work
table with drywall screws. This has worked out to be a much faster,
and more accurate method than what I was experiencing following the
manual.
So my personal vote for invaluable tool is 'Stanley Laser Level'.
Regards,
Jeff

Joseph,
You would be surprised at how much better the communications will be if
you remain polite, and do not SHOUT at anyone.

I just received a flyer from Columbia (California) airport advertising
new hangers for rent. The cheapest one was $500 per month or you could
own it for only $109,000.

Hey Dan:
I just received a card form Merced, they have a T hanger for $160 a month.
That's not bad if you live in Merced. That's one of those good news bad
news things.
