I having trouble getting the #20 holes on the nose skins to match up with the #40 hole in the nose ribs of the wings. I am using cam buckle straps to hold down the skins. Some holes centered, some not so much. What is the tolerance. Advice appreciated.

Ends 2.5 days from now.
Looking for info on the enclosed trailers for 701s,750s that I've seen on the Zenith site. I'm a long way from a need but, source/specs/plans anyone? The 8'7" tail seems to be the controlling factor.
Anybody know what I can use to stop air from coming in around rudder pedal rods?

Ski flying info:
Here is some handy info for ski plane fliers. Take a look at Advisory Circular AC No. 43.13-2B page 39 to 48.
This AC give info on rigging the skis on most planes.
I meant No worries Sorry :)
I have just used the standard 3M tape on the mounts that came with the camera with now worries. If you Google ways of removing the tape you should not have a problem
Has anyone attached a GoPro camera to the wing of a 601 XL? I am looking at ways of doing this - I hear the 3m adhesive mount will be strong enough but it would probably take off the paint when trying to remove it at a later date. Any advice?
iam starting a 650 on Vancouver island is there any one building or flying a 650 in BC?
Hi Sheldon, check to make sure your oil pressure gauge matches up with your oil pressure sensor. Newer engines have the Honeywell Electronic and the older models have the regular VDO gauge. There are two types of gauges you can purchase depending on your pressure sensor that you operate. Hope this helps. Frank
Is anyone using the Aiviasport oil pressure gauge that comes with the standard 701 instrument package, coupled to the Rotax 912? If so, have you had any trouble getting it to work properly?
