Steve,
After the first confirmed wing failure there was someone hitting blogs on the net trying to discredit Zenith designs and spewing about what a dangerous plane the 601 was. Then a letter was printed in Kitplanes after the 601 was featured on the cover with the same malicious intent and lots of misinformation. It would not surprise me at all if that were the source of some of the pot stirring going on this list. For myself, I plan to bolt my wings on this year after I finish my wiring and go fly. I have met Chris Heintz, read his bios and seen the record of his numerous designs. I have absolute confidence in the 601XL or I would have abandoned this project when the doubts were being raised. I cannot even imagine flying in a plane that I thought might spontaneously explode or have the wings fall off. There are plenty of other choices if you don't trust the design.
P.S. I have wing lockers and aux tanks and would build it exactly the same if I had it to do over.

I got blasted by one of this sites members about four months ago. I
mentioned to the group that sometimes people are not who the claim to
be. Years ago I belonged to the AvidFlyer web group and this one
member who called himself "Wang Chung" was always giving out his
suggestions on how to build and fly Avids. Then Wang showed up on the
Jabiru site telling everyone his suggestions on the care and feeding of
the 2200 Jabby.
Then off he went to the KitFox website.
Anyway, we members communicated from one site to each other site because
of common interests and similar aircraft.
To shorten this up I ll tell you that Wang was busted. We knew he was
full of bad advice and didnt have a clue.... Wang was not a pilot. Was
not an aircraft owner and had absolutely no experience. He was a
wanna bee....
Again I m probably going to upset a few or maybe just one of you. I
read things that just dont make sense at times and I wonder.
In addition: if an aircraft company is having problems and not selling
the product they offer, yet Zenith is very successful, you might join a
group like Zenith Matronics and start bullshit rumors and keep bringing
up how dangerous the wings are etc......over and over again....
Sure we are all interested in having safe aircraft but the same people
keep bring up the dangerous problems the Zenith 601XL has.
Are you really interested or are you an undercover competitor trying to
stir up more B.S.
OK, time to dump on me....

Ditto for me. I do not own a Zenith but I believe the designs are sound. IF
I do build a Zenith I will prefer the HD (not S) but not because I doubt the
design. I do wonder if perhaps there is not a point in the build of the XL
where it is possible to misinterperet the directions, this seems the most
likely flaw if one exists, that is IF one exists. I wish the FAA could do a
better job evaluating failures on experimental aircraft.
