I n the Zenith owner"s manual the "limitation" post  the VNE (at) 150. mph, on there  web site the vne is 180 !   what's  wrong with this picture ?     This is for a 601 XL I   also haven't  seen a stated HP max. I know there are 601's out there with  140 HP, mine  is 130  hp . For what? if the Vne is 150. I am prone to  belive 180 mph but ,  don't want to pull the wing's  off.      Joe N101HD 601 XL/ Subaru

The information I got direct from Zenith gives the Vne of the 601XL at 

180mph. Mine is one of the earlier kits with the thinner rear skins. I 

have test flown to verify this Vne with no problems. 150mph is the the 

Vne of the 601HD, which is probably the model the owners manual you have 

was derived from.



This page: http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/xl/xl-engine.html states a 

recommended engine power range of 80 to 125 Hp and up to 300 lbs 

installed weight.

Thanks Bryan, the  spec. sheet is the  one that came with the plans,so it 

may be a goof-up at the factory. My XL is the eariler kit also, with the 

thin skin, I've been thinking about replaceing the rear deck with .025 it's 

like flying in a oil can. Then on the other hand, so was the  factory built 

XL with the cont. engine. I know one thing  mine has passed the" Shake" test 

with the" Harley "engine that  fist powered it. Thank's again for the info .

Bryan, do you have the dual pick up dist. with dual coil? if so do you have 

your tach . hooked to brain part of the coil on one coil? ,or do you have it 

tied in to both coils when  to switched to Both run up is fine .When 

switched to the  # 1coil that's running the tach.  I get slight break down , 

when switched to the#2 coil every thing is fine, but needless to say no tach 

Ever had any thing like this? I am running a UMA tach.         Thank's   Joe

I have a Nipondenso distributor with a Beck Arnley ignition module in 

it. The original Nipondenso module failed before I even started the 

engine for the first time. I also have the Stratus backup ignition 

module that runs off a pick-up mounted on the starter ring gear. I have 

two coils connected through a coil splitter to the single set of plugs. 

On the input side of the coils, I have a couple of signal diodes wired 

up so that whichever coil is running the engine is also feeding a signal 

back to the VDO tachometer. I have my system set up so that only one 

coil can operate at a time. I've had no trouble with this setup. The 

tachometer came with the Zenith firewall forward package for the Stratus 

engine. The ignition system parts all came with the Stratus engine.
