From the LAA site.
Wonder if the ailerons will have better"feel" to them.

Zenair Update - 12th march 09
Following a meeting in Paris between LAA and Zenair management in January, including Zenair designer Chris Heintz, modifications to the CH601XL design have been drawn up and accepted by the LAA for ‘trial fit’ as a ‘UK modification package’. The CAA have checked the LAA proposals but are also awaiting news from the Dutch authorities who have been doing parallel studies. A lead aircraft has been identified for testing the modifications, which involve reinforcements to the wing attachments, centre section spar and the addition of aileron mass balances. The modification of the lead aircraft is underway under the supervision of LAA inspector Gary Johnson.

If the UK mods package is successful, I wonder if they will make it available to American builders.

When I spoke (in email correspondence) to Zenith about this it was a categorical NO to this question....I was a bit disappointed to be honest as my understanding is that the elements that are suggested by the LAA for modification are the same world wide (like for example the wing attach points).

PM me if you want the underlying correspondence...j
