Yes I had the exact same issue with the Carlisle turf glides. It got to the point that I would suspend my mains by putting blocks under the axles. That was the only way I could keep the flat spots o ...

Doesn't matter on this application. You could alternate them if you wanted. In a case were its not clear I install the rivet the same way I would install a bolt. Head towards the front of the airc ...

Zenith sells them for $585. Unlikely you will find a used set unless its off a wrecked airplane. Check the Zenith members site under classifieds. I look at it often and have not seen any bubble doors ...

The firefly will haul up aloft. You might find the plane a bit of a little tight fit for a guy your size but height seems a bigger issue than weight. I am 210 5'10 and was comfortable in the firef ...

Good point Jay. You are correct. I was told this was to keep the thimble from binding against the nico press sleeve. I was also told to make sure to smooth the ends you cut with a file so there is no ...

You are correct. Bending the thimble a little is necessary to get it into the eye. I try and pry the thimble open with a screw driver just enough to get it through the eye without bending it to much t ...

Yes, the spar caps have been upgraded to heavier material, the center doubler changed out to .040 and made wider, the cabin section reinforced, solid rear wing attachment that runs one peice all the w ...

The new engine is an 0-200. I've extended my wings one bay and installed drooped nose ribs.

I changed engine choices so I have a new style cowl and engine mount for a 701. The engine mount is the style that excepts the ring (rear mount) for a 912 ULS /S and the cowl is the latest version. Th ...

I have shipped two 503's from Washington to AZ. I built a create out of OSB with 2x2 skids on the bottom and also used 2x2 stock to frame the inside of the box. Both boxes worked great and the eng ...

Here are the new mounts I built last night out of 1/8th inch 4130 chrome moly.

Update. So I called and spoke with Caleb this morning. He said my cabin was made out of mild steel and since 2000 they were made of 4130. I told him I thought it was made out of 4130. When I asked abo ...

I'm calling them this morning. On Jun 20, 2013 6:37 AM, "John Marzulli" <john.marzulli@gmail.com ([email]john.marzulli@gmail.com[/email])> wrote:[quote] Have you called Zenith abo ...

I bought a older 701 kit last year which the previous owner bought most of the SP upgrades to turn it from a 950 gross weight to an 1100 gross weight plane. I have been upgrading the wing spars by ins ...
