Patrick -- The orange coiled tube looking thing? I think you are referring to the SCAT tube that brings air from the NACA duct to the "eyeball" vent for the right seat occupant.

Hi Mack,<br />
<br />
Yes, this is the very same one. It took eight years and ten days, but we finally got to the finish line.<br />
<br />
Thanks again, Bruce

Bruce,<br />
I was able to get full coverage thru SkySmith with 0 Time Dual and 0 Time in make and model had never even been off the ground in a 601XL before my first flight. I was checked out in a RemosGX before hand flys very close to the 601XL. Don't know if they would have payed off if I had an accident but I didn't have to find out thank goodness! 65hrs+ Going on 2 years all's Good! David Coberly

Jerry, I think you're best bet is Falcon Insurance if you are an EAA member. The big obstacle is getting that first 5 hours. If you are a low time pilot, they usually charge more money, in my experience. So, the more time you have, the less insurance will cost your, theoretically.<br />

Stories like yours keep me going to the shop each evening so I can keep working. As time goes by, I am enjoying the challenges and know that every day, I am one day closer to the completion of my dream.<br />
Would you be willing to share what insurance company you are with? I will be a new pilot with 0 time except training and am concerned about insurance since the issues of the last several years. Prior to this, as I was choosing the Zodiac to build, all the companies I talked to said no problem.…

Bruce,<br />
Congrats from Idaho!<br />
Are you the same person that I visited several years ago while the bird was under construction in your basement?<br />
You do have a nice looking 601 and I'll bet that if flys as well as it looks! Flys a lot different than a Cessna?<br />
Don't feel bad, my insurance company did the same thing to me, so I went to Draggon Fly in Santa Rosa for my instruction.<br />
Many happy hours and keep the great salt lake on your underside,<br />

Glad to see you got transition training before your first flight. I traveled about the same distance for mine and it was also well worth it. You have a sharp looking airplane and it looks like you paid a lot of attention to the details. Good luck and enjoy your creation.<br />
