Hi guys, Im building parts for my 601xl rudder.  I

noticed that the manual has part no 6T4-2(tip rib) but

my plans doesn:t even show me the specs.  the full

photo of the rudder plans doesnt even show it:s

needed. does that mean the new version doesn:t need

that part at all?? or am I just misssing some pages on

my plans.  thanks for the help

 Bill,

 I stack all sheet aluminum against the wall, have

 put tube and straight 

 materials in the overhead racks hung from the

 ceiling.  They don't cost 

 much and do a real service when

 it's time to hang wings out of the way.

 bicycle hooks in a corner 

 over the stairwell going down to my shop.

 None of these things are expensive, but they did

 work well.  I still use 

 the racks for other things now.

Larry, the story I get is that there was originally a fiberglass tip.  The outfit that made the part became unreliable and ZAC changed to, what is in essence, a simple aluminum tip rib.  Since the kit didn't come with the hinge brackets, the tail light, nor the fairing sheet, I expected that a "real" tip would come with the other parts.  Wrong!  My tip didn't look finished, so I "dressed it up" a little with some body putty, just enough to fill in between the skin and the radius of the rib flange. If I had it to do over, I would place the rib so that the edge of the skin was at the beginning of that radius, not flush with the top of the rib.

I think it makes a difference which version of the prints you 

have.  On my rudder kit there was a reasonable piece that finishes 

the top of the rudder even though the other plans I got with the full 

plans shows a fiberglass tip.  As usual, I complained and got a 

stupid response from Sebastian saying they had trouble with the 

supplier of the fiberglass tip but he didn't offer any solution to the problem.



I think if you contact ZAC support they can send you a drawing of the 

metal finish option on the rudder.



Good luck,



Paul

Thanks for the response guys!  It makes more sense

now.  I got the drawing on zenith website... rudder

starter online drawings.  I just cant figure out where

to file relief notches(where the flange bends would go

in to avoid the banana effect). I:d appreciate it if

someone can give me locations.  Thanks//Jomar

I agree with that too. It will take some filler putty to make me comforatble with the finish there even if nobody can see it.
