    Hi Jacky

    What rivit squeezer did you use to push the rivits out.  I don't like the idea of hammering any more than necessary.

    Thanks, Fred Schutt

    Jacky,

    My project is actually not in Charlottesville.  It's in Wingina VA (Nelson County).  That's where I'll be this Saturday.  It's an hour south of Charlottesville.  The address is 782 Midway Mills Lane, Wingina VA 24599.  My phone number there is 434-263-8521, my number here is 434-975-6410.  It's out of the way, but you're certainly welcome to stop by.

    Jacky  I do have a 0200 powered 601xlb  It is a older 0200 1972 was date of birth on this engine it flys the 601 very well although it does not go as fast as the jab powered 601 that Stephen Smith (who flys a lot with me) has. My fast go go speed is about 125 mph but I usaly fly around 110 to save fuel. Climb out fully loaded is around 700-800 fpm at sea level. Cloverdale CA (O60) is at 300 ft asl and my home airport at Rancho Tehama is 550 ft (49CN) in northern calif.  Downwind is at 70 mph base to final is 65 mph and across the # at 55mph 10% flaps. Hope this helps call if you like and will be happy to talk

    Pins don't show up on my google map any more.  Do I need to reset something to get them to show up.

    Jacky,

    I saw Paul Sander's STOL location map and the recent comments. I don't know if I had the courtesy to thank you for your effort at the time but let me do so now. Thank you for making the 600 series map, your efforts will, I'm sure, be even more appreciated by me in years to come.

    Hello Jacky.

    Are you still keeping the map up to date.  I submitted my info at least a month ago and others have submitted it more recently.  It is a great service to the members but if you are now longer doing it, maybe someone else can take it on.  Please let me know.

    Thanks

    Hi Jacky
    The map is a great idea! I live near the 601 XLB owner with the Jab 3000 at Corona airport, CA. I sure would love to contact this person. Any idea how to?

    I really don't like people that steal my ideas before I think of them. LOL

    I have been working on the same thing clueless to the awesome work Jacky has been up too. Great idea, and actually I got the idea from another 750 STOL friend.

    I have another shared Google spreadsheet to share info on all models, here.

    If we get to 100 contributors I am giving away a free AeroLED Microsun Landing light and 50 feet of wire. Tell your friends and come join the fun. 

    Open Forum - Featured Item -  link below

    http://www.zenith.aero/forum/topics/share-and-view-information-on-z...

    The map idea tapered off of the spreadsheet above

    Hope to see you guys contribute to get to 100 real quick. Then on to 150 and the next prize. All contributors are eligible at each drawing, well except me - insert frowny face here...

    Working with vendors to get free prizes, its all in fun, and I don't get anything, except the satisfaction of helping my fellow builders and flyers. Spread the word to your Zenith friends. If anyone gets this, its Jacky Winter's. Thanks Jacky for all that you have done for us builders and pilots, Like Tim said below, I believe you will be appreciated for many years to come.
