Do you have any plans for another shipment from Zenith. I'm about to order some fibreglass wingtips and it would probably be cheaper if they came via Oz.

November 17, 2012 all day
Zenair Australia is having an open hanger day with a BBQ lunch in sunny Bendigo. It would be great to see as many Zenith aircraft as we can muster to fly in. If you thinking of building an Aluminum aircraft it will be a great chase to chat with builders and pilots of Zenith Aircraft. There will also be some forums about building a Zenith Kit Aircraft. A CH 650 and a CH 750 will be on display. Everyone is welcome. There will be a evening meal and get together with a breakfast on Sunday for the…See More

Natfly is the National Fly-in for Recreational Aircraft of Australia (RA Aus) the body that governs aircraft up to 600 Kg in Australia
The change of venue went very well and there is a lot more space for everyone.
Zenair Australia had a site with three 601 XLs on display, they were Peter Franke, Geoff Moore and Allan Barton.

Zenair Australia's Demo 601 XL is back in the air after being fitted with the upgrade kit
The first flight was just before last light on the 12/3/10. It flew just great I did not notice any great change, It was just great getting back into the air again.

Phill Barnes said… - Hi Allan
Thanks for your comment on my cooling fence. Every part of the baffle system is removable so duplicating it shouldn't be to difficult. I was considering marketing a fence kit should everything go well but I am still out to lunch on that one at the moment. My focus at the moment is to get mine in the air and then we will see.
