I keep hearing about the "Construction Manual".  I picked up my 601 kit at Zenith last Monday.  I asked Nick where the construction manual was, and he gave me a puzzled look and referred me to the drawings, which I already have. Is there more?  I have no "page 11" in my drawings.

                                                                Lynn Dingfelder

                                                                Corry, PA

The Construction Manual everyone talks about could be the photo 

assembly guide that comes on CDROM with your plans.  You can also 

download it, one chapter or part of a chapter at a time, from ZAC's 

web site.  You will need builder access to the site to get past the 

password protection.  You can get the password from ZAC either 

through an email request to info(at)zenithair.com or on the phone.



The actual manual files can be found at 

http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/xl/xl-up-manuals.html.



There is also a "Construction Manual" which you should have picked up 

with your plans.  Each one has a serial number on the bottom of the 

cover page.  I presume the serial number will be the same as the one 

on your 

plans. 

Mine is edition 2.0 dated January 23, 2003 and has 18 pages.  This is 

a very important part of the official design documentation since it 

defines the construction techniques and standards used throughout the project.



Good luck with your project.

Lynn,

You and Nick have a disconnect in communication somewhere.  The drawings 

are accompanied by a rather good construction manual, a CD and lots

of pictorial content.  You should revisit what you received and then 

express more clearly what you're missing.  I'm sure there's just a 

misunderstanding

here.  Stay cool,,,,,,,

Hi Lynn,



When I ordered my 601 XL kit, Zenith sent me the plans ahead of time, packed

in a box.  Along with the plans was a white 1" soft-cover 3-ring binder.  On

the inside of the front cover is a CD containing the Photo Assembly Guides.

In this binder are a number of things:  A a page with check boxes indicating

that I received the drawings, construction manual with weight & balance

form, and CD-ROM photo assembly guide.  Next is an introductory one page

letter to the new builder, containing your aircraft's serial number.  Next

is a page regarding customer service, the Zenair newsletter, EAA, and the

Zenith builder network.  The next page has some information on the Zenair

News newsletter.  The next page has a Zenith order form.  Then there is an

18 page "Construction Manual".  It contains general information that should

be read prior to starting building, such as working tolerances, edge

distances (for riveting), information on aluminum materials used in the

kits, information on hardware and blind rivets, guidelines for working with

sheet metal and tools, deburring techniques, corrosion protection, etc.  If

you attended the workshop, you will notice that the information in this

manual overlaps quite a bit with the information found in the rudder

workshop manual, althought there are some differences.



I hope this helps.  I've gotten a lot of help so far from the fine folks on

this list site, so I'd like to be able to start giving back once in awhile.

Dave, Robert and Larry,

              Thanks for the responses. I finally found what I was needing.

I have to plead guilty to not examining the CD well enough, the info is all

there. Nick didn't happen to point out that the CD contained the step by

step procedures (or I didn't understand him correctly).

              Inventory complete, and ready to start pullin' rivits!

Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but I'm at least ready to start some

serious head scratchin'

                    I can't enlighten the list as for as female involvement.

I've been getting mailed Victorias Secret catalogs most of my life, but I'm

male.  (I still look at the catalogs!)

                                                        Lynn

                                                        Corry, PA
