Will start to work on the rudder very soon. Was very fortunate to attend a rudder workshop early in December when Philip Cronje of Bundu Aviation (Zenith dealer in South Africa) came to PE to deliver Michael Hübsch's 801… Continue

Hello,
My name is Mr. Michael Mccarthy, I have contacted you before without any response from you. Please replied if you receive this message. I have something very important to discuss with you, I have a vital information to give you. Could you please get back to me on (mmichaelmccarthy4@gmail.com ) for full details.
Michael Mccarthy.

I thought about plans building originally, but I decided it was better to cheat just a bit and start with a kit. Good luck with your project.

Hello, sorry , i hadn't seen you message, you will find attach some pictures of my airplane.thank you
regards
I just read your post to my site. I fabricated the pushrods locally. Unfortunately, I used 1 1/4" thick wall aluminum tube. Waaaay too heavy. 5/8 or 3/4 would have been fine. They (pushrods) are rock solid and a joy to fly with. Van's RVs all have pushrods. Maybe you can source a pair thru them.

That would be really good - Do you stay overnight in Gun-teng (intentially spelt)? When will you be up here again? My offices are in Sandton Eastgate Ext near the intersection of Bowling and Marboro Drive. If I could get a look at specific pages I believe it would make my mind to pop for the upgrade or not. If you are here for the evening of 12th March I would like to take you to the Woods auditorium - 2 ex WW2 pilots as guest speakers - you guys miss a lot being at that end of the Country! Let me know. - Ivor
Seems the 650 is a sexier airee. I wold really like to know about the changes to the wing incidence vs 601XL and the rear spar attachment. Another XL went down yesterday in Utah and the speculation about anothe rear spar failure has me a bit spooked! The Zenair offer to upgrade to the 650 plans is beginning to look like a maybe nessecary upgrade. Good luck with your build. Ivor
