John--

Your radio is likely an ICS Plus, manufactured in Japan in the late 80's or early 90's and sold by Wag-Aero. ICS stands for "Integrated Communications Systems". It had a lot of nic ...

OOPS! Missed this one! Thanks for pointing it out. Luckily I can go back and pick it up because I haven't done anything else with the wings since completing the updates.

I only installed one adel clamp just above the valve to stabilize the cable. You can see it in photo #284.

Hey Chris,

Here is a link to all my 601XL construction photos to date.

Hi Chris,

I know this is not what you were wanting, because I ran them outside the fuselage, but I wanted you to see my photos of the installation.

I store all my construction photos at this sit ...

I don't know what Paul is talking about, but it is very simple to do what you want to do. I used the RAC POS-12 sensor on the flap mechanism and a Ray Allen LED indicator on the panel and i ...

Gig--The photos of my installation that Craig posted works very well. I set it up as a "proof of concept", and it worked so well I put finishing touches on it and left it. It is made with mo ...

No, it is a black rubber 2-1/4" 90 degree elbow. Check it out here:

Someone on the forum suggested this a couple of years ago to eliminate the turbulence ...

I just finished mounting my airbox. I had the Jab 3300 installed at the time, but I can tell you that the location is pretty well determined. Vertically, mine is as close to the horizontal stiffener a ...

I also considered filling the holes when I first started my project, but soon got my wits about me! However, I DID fill the holes in the rivets on my instrument panel with JB Weld. I lightly sanded th ...

It's not officially installed yet, but I have installed the wiring to mount it on the left fuselage side, under the wing, just forward of the flap hinge. Here it will be somewhat protected and out of ...

The latest Jabiru engine installation video put out by HomebuiltHELP discusses this problem. According to the video, it is OK to file out the mounting holes a little to eliminate the spring. According ...

I didn't particularly like the little bit of slop either, so I just drilled the joint in a couple of places longitudally (sp?) and put a couple of A5 rivets in. I also put a piece of leftover fuel tan ...

Good advice! Although I haven't completed installing my canopy, new springs are on order!

Just a minor correction to Roberts original post. The McMaster-Carr stock number for the 60# springs is 94 ...

I had that idea in my head when I first started construction, but talked myself out of it. It certainly would have been a lot of extra work! However I DID fill all the rivets in the instrument panel w ...

Congratulations, Bill! I, like others, am very grateful to you for your website. I always seem to go to it when I have a problem, and usually find a solution there. Thanks for all your hard work in ...

Interested also! Are you just using one on the left side, or using two, one on each side? I like your idea!

Yes, it was an RV-7A. He flew down the 4200' runway at 10' agl then hit a rwy sign at the departure end, apparently causing some damage to the gear and control cables. He gained some altitude, then sl ...

I'm, building my 601XL in a self-built (from plans) 12' by 20' wooden barn with an 8' ceiling an loft. I certainly wouldn't want to go any smaller than that. Everything was completed in the barn and m ...
