Can anyone give me a hint where to find the EA-81 PSRU belt replacement?

I've ordered my upgrade kit on Friday 23rd and Zenith shipped it on Monday 26th. No waiting time.

I'm not an aeronautical engineer as well but I'm a machinist and some of my parts are flying in space, so I might have some experience and skills. In my case I always use jigs or fixtures, even for ri ...

I'm about to order the upgrade kit and I'm thinking about the push-pull tubes for aileron controls. Does anytime anybody from Zenith or so commented in any way this modification?

Actually, last Friday I've sent an email to the Czech company that makes the gear - Comlet.cz to ask for prices, pictures, drawings, specifications etc. So far no answer. I've even tried to call them ...

It seems that no matter what your question is, it will always slip to fly/no fly, balance/no balance discussion with no end. Like a bunch of 2nd graders chatting on school backyard.

I'd like to get some time in Zodiac and I remember there was one flight school that was doing training in 601 XL but can not remember where. I guess, it was in Long Beach but I'm not 100% sure.

James,
if your side skin is aligned with the fuse floor aft of the gear channel and you have the gear channel level and firewall at the required angle (77deg) you should end up perfectly aligned. It' ...

Thanks everyone,
I'll keep the side skins just clecoed in place. I'm a slow builder and I think, my arm would be dead by doing everything from the bottom up Very Happy

I want to rivet the lower front longerons 6B10-3 to the cabin floor 6B10-1. As I understand the rivets should be pulled from the top because of the thickness of materials so it will have a better grip ...

I'm about to start riveting forward part of fuselage together. But I'm still unsure if to rivet everything,
that includes the side skins or leave at least one just clecoed to get easy access for rout ...

I recognize the four leaf clover, the horse show and the "7", but what is the charm on the right ?
