Jerome,

There's always an early 601 at the fly-ins that hasn't been polished or 

done with the care that I'd like to see, but they

are repeatedly there with the functional utility of a back yard swing.  

Not always pretty, but still flying after 8-10 years.

If you need to see some nice work, just look into the Zenith gallery 

pictures and there are lots of interesting and well done

601s on display there, or make it to the Open House in Mexico, MO in 

August.  Nearly always a couple of show stopper

quality 601HDS there.  Nice as any RV or GlassAir in quality workmanship 

and paint.  These guys have me so self-conscious

that I'm now painting my 601HDS after 85-hours flying time.  Should take 

about 100-hours more than if I'd painted it before

flying it. 

Frank, you might try e-bay as it has a broad audience as well.

>From the seller of a built airplane (HDS in my case) this is part of the

problem. I have seen many 601s that have pretty poor build qulity. Mine

is much better than most but unless you actually get people to come and

look and fly the airplane then its proven difficult to sell.



Not sure why. I had two buyers pull out without seeing th airplane now

interest seems to have gotten very slow.



Oh well.

601HDS still for sale...  



 This, along with the fact that

the cockpit appeared to be too small for any type of comfort with a

passenger, is why I finally decided on the Zodiac 601 HDS. I definately

would not have let my mother in law fly in that plane, much less myself.
