A poll? Nobody here kicked tin at the various accident sites. I would sooner rely on the investigating agencies and not the "experts" who were not there.

WD-40 is used by some to remove bumper stickers with little health effects. On the other hand, MEK is absorbed through the skin, goes straight to the liver and kidneys were it has a half life of 1,000 ...

That's how you make differential ailerons. More up range than down. A Zenith is a straight 11.5 deg up and 11.5 down. If you like the handling and there is not too much adverse yaw, you should leave i ...

I certainly would like to see drawings of the mods either from ZAC or smuggled out of the UK. This is encouraging. I would like to resume work on my project.

Hi Roger.
Glad to see that you are still active in the search for answers to the unfortunate accidents that involved in flight breakups of CH 601XLs. I recall the msgs that we exchanged while you w ...

I so wanted to stay out of this, however I cannot stand by and allow a few who don't know me to imply that because I am a member of ZBAG, I would like to kill off the 601XL. Doesn't pass the sniff tes ...

You answered your own question. You say that you are NOT a ZBAG supporter but you do visit. There are no subscriptions as Matronics has. Yes, there are 168 registered members to this Yahoo group. All ...

I say:

To blame EVERY in flight break up on pilot error is reprehensible. The general consensus that I picked up on this list is that the ULTIMATE ...

ZBAG has about two dozen members spread over North & South America, Europe and Australia. What are the odds that you could meet three on the same day?

For those that have back copies of the Zenair Association newsletters, look at early 1987. ZN-40 and ZN-41 have drawings for Mass balances that may work for the 601XL and 650.

This is good stuff and I'm learning a lot. One missing piece is: anybody using non aviation fuel with ethanol? The difference in vapor pressure is big. Yeah, I know that alky is forbidden in aviation, ...

Ron,
The instrumentation that you ask about is in use at most FBOs to dynamically balance props. Its adapted from the helicopter industry and uses real small accelerometers and is wired into a hand ...

I prefer to deal in facts rather than insults, but its not as much fun. This is serious business. Look at several in flight breakups. Oakdale CA two years ago, Yuba City, CA Nov 06 and Polk City, FL l ...

It breaks my heart to see that another of ours is lost. I can believe the theory that he was avoiding the SLC Class B by deviating to the North. Its only 25 NM direct from TVY to BTF. A 15 mile deviat ...

Come on. Rich asked what was the minimum equipment to launch IFR into clearing VFR conditions. It was my idea to also address the "doomsday" scenario to get you down safely in deteriorating ...

I read the question as:"What is the minimum equipment?" The price tag for dual Dynon or MGL = how much? BTW, have you ever experienced a display going black like they sometime do in the mult ...

Hi Rich,
The short answer is the equipment in FAR 91:205 & heated pitot. Placard the strobes "Off when in clouds." A VOR/LOC receiver, transponder and a VHF Com should get you started. ...

Interesting idea, Paul. I don't think that its ever been done. Sort of like a poor man's shimmy dampener. Take a walk through any aviation museum and look at what they were doing from the late 1930s o ...
