 Posted: Sun Sep 14, 2008 7:37 am Post subject: XL - Rear Top Skin & 650 Canopy ? |
 |
|
I'm looking at 6-B-21, thinking about the Top Skins, and wondering how far I can proceed with what I have on hand given that I would like to go with the 650 canopy on my XL.
My fuselage is still in clecos, but is otherwise complete except for the top skins and canopy.
Has anyone else who is at this same stage got any advice or heard anything from Zenith?
Thanks,
- Pat

With all this talk about adding the 650 mods to 601s made me think of an issue that might come up at AW inspection time.
I would seem prudent to call the airplane or at least say it was built from a 601 kit because the 601 is on the 51% approved list and the 650 isn't.

Agree. That's the reason I haven't done the "upgrade".
I see little substantive difference between an "XL with a 650 canopy" vs a "650 with XL wings, XL rudder, and XL main gear", other than the paperwork.
And the last thing I want to do after all this work is to put myself into some sort of paperwork limbo with the FAA....
BTW - here's the data plate on the 650 at Oshkosh. Says "601".
