I'm Rich Vetterli, just finishing up my Corvair powered 601XL, based at Livermore, CA (LVK). I was at Sun & Fun and spent time talking with the Heintz's, as well as many other builders (both Zenith & non). When I got home, I went back to building. I am so close, I can almost smell the AW certificate. My plane was designed well, was built well, will be inspected well and will be flown within the recommended flight envelope. If Zenith recommeds that I fix something, I will. Until then, I'm going to be happily flying while many others are spending way too much time arguing over what may be a non-issue. Am I concerned, yes. But the sky is not falling yet, as far as I can tell. Matt at Matronics, you might want to think about booting a few of the posters that are hijacking this list away from actual builders.
Fly safe and keep building.

Uhm...not everyone wih a legitimate interest in the Zodiac and its safety is
a builder. Would you throw me off the list too just because I bought mine?

When the concern about the 601 is addressed (either way), the discussion
around it will subside, so long as the incidents stop occurring. If you
choose to boot everyone off because their opinion does not happen to
coincide with your own how will potential builders research the aircraft?
There is no question that people have been far too insistant that their
opinion be universally accepted as fact, but that seems to be the nature of
some people these days. Take for instance your own opinion, you cast out the
notion that your aircraft and engine are well designed and built as fact,
when it is actually only an opinion. You have control only over yourself,
to seek to control or stifle contrary opinions hardly seems right, but then
maybe you have different notions of how much freedom we should have to
express ourselves.

You know, one reason there is no discussion about building aircraft is that
no one is asking any questions about building aircraft.
If someone asked a question about building issues, one might get responses
to building issues, which equals discussion.
I'll be the bigger man and start things off:
What color Scotchbrite is safe for 6061 aluminum?

Hey Rich - I've enjoyed watching your progress.
We met at CC#13 in Cloverdale, CA. I remember you pulling up in that hot rod PT Cruiser, and I helped you carry your engine into the QSP hanger.
That weekend really stands out in my memory. We talked a lot about our building experiences, and the similarity of our experiences amazed me. I had a lot of fun, and those few days stand out as some of my most enjoyable days in aviation.
It is highly motivating to flash forward to the present, and see that your engine is now running, and that your airframe is essentially complete. I'm about a year behind you, and when I see what you've done, I see what I can do.
Looking forward to seeing you again. Perhaps some day I'll park my airplane next to yours and we can catch up...
- Pat

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> You just had to start that, didn't you? OK, I'll play..... ALL colors of Scotchbrite are safe for aluminum. Someone here on the list a couple of years ago quoted a 3M repesentative as saying that they all use the same abrasive (aluminum oxide) and the colors differentiate the various agressiveness of the sheet. OK, everybody, FLAAAAAAAME OOONNNN!!!!
