Well said Bob.  I sincerely hope you are right.

be fixed? I used to instruct in helos and sailplanes and I cannot 

trust an aircraft that will scare a low time pilot. I have faith 

that the LAA will civilize the 601XL.

Hi Dave,



I like the way you think.  I agree that options are a good thing, and 

I would personally like the option to install the aileron balance and 

stick design changes with confidence that, at least, they don't cause 

unintended problems.  For me, that requires some sort of engineering 

review from Chris or Zenith or Zenair or somebody in a position to 

know the whole design and qualified to have a professional 

opinion.  Perhaps the LAA changes already meet that burden.



I don't know exactly how the amateur built airplane business works in 

Canada (where I think your email address suggests you live).  In the 

USA, I believe the only authority that can force changes to be made 

to Experimental-AB planes is the builder/owner.  There may be some 

way the government can force the issue if they choose, but I don't 

think they are disposed to make that choice.  The FAA folks I spoke 

to seem interested in factory built planes but just don't care about 

experimental amateur built ones.

to address a particular and possibly unusual aspect of the airframe 

or an option to bring the aircraft more in line with normal 

practice. I'd be happy with both.

Just hoping (in vain) to get everyone to stop hitting each other with the 

oars and start rowing in vaguely the same direction. Safety shouldn't be 

such a contentious issue, but this argument is nothing compared to the great 

helmet debate among motorcyclists.

Paul Mulwitz;

in the mid 1990s they created a weighting aileron design that works on the 601 models.  its in the Zenith journals.  Make and install it.  try it out.  that is why its called experimental.
