 Posted: Sun Oct 04, 2009 8:50 am Post subject: Flange on seat bottom |
 |
|
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this, and has a response from
Zenith. If not, I'll ring their bell tomorrow.
Drawing 6B15 shows the seat bottom, 6B15-4. On my copy of the drawings, it's
flat sheet of metal. Ditto for the image on the "Homebuilt Help" DVD.
A photo of what I received is attached. There's a flange, not shown on 6B15,
or the "Homebuilt Help" DVD, that would connect to the fuselage side.
Drawing 6B18, at the upper right, shows an "L" angle closeout between the seat
bottom, 6B15-4, and 6B11-2. It looks like this flange may obviate the need
for this "L" angle.
I'm guessing some others have received the seat bottoms with the added flange.
Did you install the "L" angle, or did you omit it?

Jim,
We have Kit # 7517 we have the flange as shown the Center Console now has
flanges that eliminate the
need for L angles.
It does appear that your access openings should be much higher near the
small angle at the top.
It appears that it was made incorrectly.
We have found several items that are not well documented for the 650
version.

My center console lacks the flanges. However, I had it stuck in my head
somehow that the flange on the seat bottom went down, not up. I was mistaken;
it does go up, and would occupy the same physical space as the "L" angle.
Obviously, then, the "L:" angle is not required.
Differences between the documentation and the parts seems to be a common
theme. I've received several other parts (like the wing tips) that do not
match the drawings.

JimI am building a CH 650 and I installed with the preformed set bottom with Flange and omitted the L angle.

Jim,
I had the same thing. I also found that the seat bottom didn't fit with the
plans dimensions. I cut off the flange and added the L angle. I emailed
Zenith about it and that was their suggestion.
