From my limited view point, the 601 HDS is a GREAT airplane as advertised. Is seems just as fast the the XL, not accounting for altitude, true air speed, etc. OK the stall factor may be a consideration for some? I guess the LSA situation is the BIG factor here. What do you think, Zenith...

Greetings: Anyone building--or thinking about building--a Zenith STOL 801? Dick B. Lopez Island Washington

Hey, I'm thinking of starting one of these. My question is I'm 6'4" Will I fit okay?

Hi all, Looking for a CDI flywheel for this engine. Thanks, Perry

Hey all, Looking for CDI flywheel. Thanks, Perry

I'm looking at a 60 year old Tcraft. She was originally primed with zinc chromate. If I need to remove some fabric to get at some rust, is there any reason I shouldn't use ZC as a primer? After all, the last application seems to have lasted 60 years! Are there any concerns about any of the...

Duralac Zinc Chromate Paste doesn't appear in the Spruce or Wick catalog, apparently for health reasons. I do see it mentioned for sale by marine stores. Has anyone using an acceptable substitute, easier to locate? - MIke

Anyone know who makes "Zirforit" seals? I think it's the name of some kind of proprietary alloy, probably a company by the initials of E.D.E.C. but have no other info and Google comes back with one and ONLY one match. Juan -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Zenair Zodiac 601HD. Built in 2005. 50 Hours TT. 80HP Rotax 912 engine. Registered as Advanced Ultralight. Forward opening tinted canopy (like the XL model) which is much safer than the stock HD side-opening canopy. European cowling system provides better cooling and faster cruise (105 Mph)....

I may have overlooked a few, but if one were looking for a kit that: 1) is light sport compliant, 2) is low wing, 3) uses tricycle gear, 4) is of metal construction, 5) built using primarily pop type rivets, 6) and has a bubble canopy, then up until relatively recently, the Zenith Zodiac XL ...

Todays ANN (Awful News Net) had this to say about the fearless Capt Zoom.. Credit for this article goes to ANN which was posted 7/14/04... Quote: "For over 30 years, Jim Campbell has told the world of aviation what no one else dared to... the truth. He's worked as a test pilot, stunt pilot,...

AW&ST had an article in the 1 March issue on ZPE (Zero Point Energy) and the "Casimir effect" that should be read by all. If you don't have access to AW&ST, then go to Google and search for "ZPE". The articles I read there were not as good as the AW&ST article but will give you an idea of what may...
