Not to pick nits, but aviation has its own terminology and it's less confusing to stick with it. In FAA parlance (for certified aircraft), only the engine manufacturer (Lycoming in this case) can "zero time" an engine. When they do that, they throw away the existing engine log book and issue a new one. Independent engine shops can do the same job, to the same tolerances, using the same parts and still have to call it a rebuilt engine, and it continues to accrue hours in its existing log book. They usually refer to this as "rebuilt to new limits" or something like that. Now, none of this directly applies to experimentals but its good to stick with standard terminology, to avoid confusion. And PLEASE don't take this note as insulting to anyone ... not my intention. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:36:25 PM PST US Subject: Zenith750-List: elevator control fairlead From: Don/Marcia Piermattei Subject: Zenith750-List: Elevator control cable fairleads, part# 75C4-5 From: "Jimmy Young" I mounted mine with a slot cut from the top side, since the cable was already installed. You are lifting on the cable so there is no danger of it coming out. I also had to cut a slot in the fuselage skin from the hole for the cable in an aft direction in order to give the cable clearance. I then put a doubler over the area to restore what strength I lost(advised by Caleb).
