 Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 5:29 am Post subject: No Canopy Gas Struts on 650 Canopy for XL...? |
 |
|
Got my "650 Canopy Kit for XL" the other day.
I uncrated it, and inventoried the contents. Everything checked off on the paper list was accounted for as it came out of the crate.
There are no canopy gas struts. It's not that these are "missing" - they're not even on the pick list to begin with (and they don't ship with any of the previous component kits).
My first thought was that they were no longer needed with the new canopy, but when I started looking on the Zenith website (for example: http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/608/60935.jpg ), I started seeing other pieces in the pictures that were also not included, like the green nyloil rub plates in the attached picture (below) of the 650 fuselage at Oshkosh.
Question 1: I can't be the first builder to encounter this. What have the rest of you folks putting the 650 canopy on the XL done...? What else do I need to get that isn't included in the kit?
Question 2: Another builder told me that Todd's was now making the new canopies, and that they shipped "unrolled". My 650 canopy (1/8" thick) arrived "rolled". There's no indication of a part number on it, but 65C3-3/65C3-4 is checked on the pick list. Here's a picture of the one I received: http://picasaweb.google.com/Patrick.Hoyt/PatsZodiac601XL#5293187921366289970 Did I get the correct canopy? I'm pretty sure I did, but I don't have anything to compare it against, so I don't know and am interested in what other builders at my stage are encountering.
Thanks,
- Pat

it's probably just an oversight, it's a new product and the struts may
have been overlooked when the pick list was written up.
Contact Zenith and they will probably send out the missing parts right
away.
