Thanks, Keith ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:46:11 PM PST US From: "Craig Payne" Subject: RE: Zenith701801-List: CH701 Part 7F8-4 My 4th hand kit was like #2 but I switched it to #1. Two thoughts: 1. the plans (if you look close) and the photo guide show it this way 2. Some piece of sheet metal has to span a gap. I felt it was better to have the stiffener span the gap than the floor. -- Craig _____ From: owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Keith Ashcraft Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 11:56 AM Subject: Zenith701801-List: CH701 Part 7F8-4 All, I have seen this part put on 2 different ways. 1 - Between the floor skin and 7F8-1 (Central Floor Stiffener) (as per the assembly guide) 2 - Between the firewall and the floor skin Any advantages to either one?

I had to repaint round struts soon after assembly rust coming through paint. (The were stripped back rust treated and repainted) and now two years later there is again corosion coming through paint. graemecns ----- Original Message ----- From: John Bolding To: zenith701801-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 12:47 AM Subject: Re: Zenith701801-List: FW: Wicks Aircraft Slashes Prices On Streamline Tubing It DOES make it easier to come up with the end result which is streamlined struts for efficiency BUT at approx. a 10# penalty over round struts with either the plastic cuffs or bent up .016 alum.
