The problem with zbaggers is that even though they have hired a "professional engineer" they still keep spouting hearsay and inuendo which is just clouding any issues that Zenith aircraft MAY or may not have. As I have said before, if you "know " so much about what is wrong with the 601 why do you not design your own airplanes and leave Zenith aircraft to those of us who are comfortable with the designs of a person of the stature and experience of Chris Heintz.

The Zenith Builders Analysis Group is a group of concerned Zodiac builders,
owners, and pilots who banded together to commission an independent
engineering study of the Zodiac. It was formed in response to what was seen
at the time as Zenair's reluctance to do full engineering studies of the
Zodiac's structure, both static and dynamic.
I am a contributing member of ZBAG. I can assure you that I love my Zodiac,
and would like nothing more than to see the cloud over it removed - whatever
that takes.

Well Jay;
The trick to walking "on" water is to know where the rocks are below the surface!
I was not intending to infer the Chris Heintz is perfect either, no body is BUT he has a good record in aviation engineering.
While six planes having a problem in two year is troublesome it is quite a low failure rate. So far the only common failure is that something caused the wings to separate, now as has been pointed out there are several possible causes, pilot error; flying the aircraft outside design limits, showing off and over speeding or overloading the airframe. Inadequate construction. Inappropriate modifications, flutter, improper adjustment of control cables and so on.
The zbaggers are not an "official" group so why are they not being transparent with the alleged information they have? Let's see the qualifications of those who claim to be doing structural analysis and verify their calculations.
do not archive
