I asked Sebastien yesterday the very same thing about why no 601xl at OSH, Ben.



According to him, there WAS supposed to be a modded 601XL here, but it was weathered out earlier in the week and the owner decided to bag the trip entirely.



We've already done the modification for one 601 in our shop, and the second is pretty close to completion. Even before flight test, it's pretty apparent that the structures have been beefed up considerably. The added rigidity is hard to miss.



My personal opinion is that Zenith has taken a real belt AND suspenders approach to the modifications, addressing pretty much everything that MIGHT possibly have been a contributing factor to the overstress and / or flutter issues in the original design.



I'll know more once I start flying mine again.
