    Greg I didn't have my camera today when I worked on it,but my radiator has it's front tank about 1" behind nose gear tube. In fact 1 radiator hose drops in front off firewall straight down into radiator. When doing a ground run up I have a hard time getting system hot. I will have to see how it is in flight. Thanks for the carb info that is what I am doing next is check and clean carbs. How are you accomplishing carb heat? I am having a problem with that. The previous owner didn't have any and 3 times he landed for rough engine. His description and temp info says it all. Dennis

    Dennis the wings on the hds are not the same you have a center wing box that the wings bolt to. The xl wings attach inside th fuselodge you should not have to worry about the xl type issue.

    Dennis:
    I live in Watertown NY and I bought a completed 601 HDS in June. Mine has the 80 HP Rotax 912. It was built in 2000 and it currently has 460 hours on it. How close are you to finishing your plane?
