Due to circumstances beyond my control it looks like I will be getting divorced. As a result, my 601XL project is canceled and I need to sell the components.

What I have consists of:
  • The information pack for the 601XL. ($35.00)
  • The 601XL plans S/N 6404 to the latest release (3rd edition, 3rd revision. (11" x 17" paper size) and Drawing list 6-X-0 (page 1 of 1), dated March 15, 2006). ($395.00)
  • The dual stick supplement drawings. ($45.00)
  • The taildragger supplement drawings. ($45.00)
  • All the latest builder guides printed in color on 8.5x11 bond. (price???)
  • All the newsletters since the advent of the XL (July/Aug 1999-present, $78.00)
  • The CNC vertical tail kit including rivets, drilled out per drawings and builders guides, PLUS:
    • the upper hinge elements finished (not included in the kit, $6.40)
    • the lower forward fairing skin (not included in the kit, $4.10)
    • the rudder horn (not included in the kit, $11.20)
    • 200 extra Avex 1604 A4 rivets from ZAC (not included in the kit, $16.00)
    • 75 extra Avex 1604 A5 rivets from ZAC (not included in the kit, $6.75)
This kit was custom fabricated by ZAC for me with 0.020" forward and aft skins . This results in an assembled rudder that will be about 1 lb heavier than stock but much, much more durable from a handling standpoint. A second benefit is that the ribs will pull to it instead of it pulling to the ribs for a much cleaner assembled appearance.

I would prefer to sell it unassembled (has been assembled complete with Clecos except for leading edge skin) for two reasons: the buyer can do the assembly easily and show they did it, and, it will be easier to ship as I can ship it in ZAC's box. As it is, it needs to be drilled to full diameter (#30 and #20 drills) and the leading edge skin needs to be fitted.

Shipping is estimated at about $35.00 + insurance.

I would like to sell the lot together for $600 plus shipping/insurance. Please contact me with any questions.

I do not plan to sell my 2 Corvair cores at this time.

A note about the job: I have spent my entire 35 year career in aircraft fabrication and then in Aerospace Materials Engineering. This is the first aircraft assembly work that I have done in over 20 years but is good workmanship because I spent some time building dummy structures until my skills came back up to par.
Thanks for considering helping me at this point.

If you do decide to sell the Corvairs I'd like to take a look at them. I'm not too far away in South Jersey.
