 Posted: Sat Jun 05, 2010 8:59 am Post subject: Upgrade Tools list on Matronics Wiki |
 |
|
I am working my 601XL upgrade.
A critical piece of information that I have not found in the Zenair upgrade
dwgs and the Photo Assembly Guides is a list of the tools needed to perform
the upgrades. I have been buying tools that I think will be useful. Some of
them have been vital to my work. Others have been a waste of money, at
least for the upgrade. I think that a tool list would be useful for
upgraders, so I put together an Excel worksheet summarizing my experience
with the tools I've purchased, good and bad. I've included my personal
rating of each tool, as well as, cost and ordering links.
I think that the Matronics Wiki provides an excellent vehicle to share this
information with the 601XL/650 community, because a Wiki lends itself to
editing--both revisions and additions--so any of you can weigh in with your
experience. If you've discovered a really good tool, add it to the list. If
I've panned some tool that you found useful--or vice versa, change the
rating. If you decide to edit the information, thank you, and be sure to
add your initials to the contributor's list. If you do edit the Wiki, you
might post a note with that information to the Matronics lists.
The link to the Wiki is:
http://www.matronics.com/wiki/index.php/Zenith#601XL.2F650_Upgrade_of_December_2009
I tried to add structure for adding in upgrade tips and tricks, for those
who would like to share your discoveries. I will be adding in some of my
own in the future, but I wanted to get this out there now. I hope that
those who are further along the upgrade path will add in your lessons learned.
Enjoy the build!
