I checked the NTSB, FAA Preliminary database and Google and found no mention of a accident with a 601, modified or not. There were plenty of other experimental and factory builts that met grief during the period.
There is an entry in the Zenith list stating that the owner of the aircraft ran out of gas and made a forced landing.... no details.

from what I understand from someone who was there,. the 601xlb was being test flown after the modification. The owner-pilot was told that there was very little gas in the tank. so....as things will happen when you don't use a
check list. he took off and ...well you guessed it, the engine quit from lack of gas. the pilot landed hard with
no damage to himself and minimal damage to the plane.
It is hard to protect yourself from stupidity..

One thing that made me chose the Zenith Aircraft is their robust landing gear... Just land in rough strips holding the front wheel up as much as possible, both in the 701 and in any of the 601's... in any emergency fly the airplane all the way down, yes lets all use the check list always.
