Gang:
I am happy to report that N601GE, a Zodiac 601XL/TD, powered by a 3100 Corvair, took to the skies this morning for the first time at KFFZ, Mesa, AZ. 0.7 hours, no engine problems.
Horizontal stabilizer likely needs some incidence adjustment, as full aft trim was needed at 100 MIAS and left arm below that. Otherwise no airframe problems.
More to report as flight testing continues...

Great news, Andy! It is good to see another flying 601XL.
As to your stab adjustment. ZAC says that 3mm ~ 1 degree and they told me not to adjust it more than 1 degree at a time. I set my forward mount down the 3mm and did not see as much improvement as I would have liked. I wish I would have at least doubled it and may still do that in the future. I have heard others talk about moving the leading edge down 1/2". The choice is your's, but these are just a few data points to consider.
Good luck,
