If you built the airplane to that standard, it shouldn't be in the air.  Any questionable work should be reaccomplished as you proceed in the building process. Any doubts contact Cris H. with scatches and he'll be glad to give you the corrective action.

Question-

How do you keep from passing out swivelling your neck to look at every 

rivet you have an uneasy feeling about (You KNOW where they are!) while 

pulling 6 gs?

Anyone who doesn't have a doubt about his workmanship at 6gs is a far better 

man than I.

Lest your post scare off undecided newbies, we should probably quantify "questionable work".  We're not building lunar modules here.  Yes, we're building flying machines.  Yes, we'll strap our butts to them and terrorize the bugs.  Does that mean a slight scratch in a fuselage skin shall be cause for rework?  Certainly not!  

    There are critical areas of the airframe that demand strict attention to published standards.  Big Gee is completely correct in the statement that Chris will happily answer any and all workmanship questions.

    We need to remember however that one rivet that is 1mm off the given edge distance, in a row of 40, should not be cause to scrap the parts.  If that were the case, many of the parts right off Zenith's line would require re-work (they aren't known for their straight rivet lines).  Oh, and don't pull 6 G's !  :- )

Tom-- I agree with you 100 %  and didn't intend to imply otherwise.

  However, if one has to "swivel his neck" checking for all the loose rivets than it is an aiplane which I wouldn't want to be in.  I don't think many of us are going to pull 6 g's.  But, if something should happen that we come close, the airplane shouldn't come apart.

  Hate to see my post taken for what it wasn't ment-------- Build a safe airplane, if any doubts, ask.

Fritz-

    My tongue-in-cheek, obviously poorly stated point was that proving a 

Zenith has a 6g stress limit is something none of us want to experience.

     Regardless of who built the plane, if I were in a situation where I was 

pulling 6gs, I'd know the end was near and be kicking myself for ever 

getting into it.

                                                                        Bill
