The FAA has re-evaluated the CH601XL kit
with the upgrade package (6-ZU) and determined that it meets the major
portion requirements (51% rule). Note: When registering your aircraft with the FAA use the model name as it appears on the FAA listing of aircraft kits ("Zodiac CH 601 XL") and the drawings. Do not add the "B" to the name when registering it with the FAA as this will not match the FAA information on file. |

owners in
response to the preliminary findings of an investigation into the
fatal accident involving a Czech Aircraft Works Zodiac CH 601XL in
the Netherlands. Note that this bulletin does not provide new
information regarding the aircraft; it requests verification of what
should already be in place, namely, proper tension of the control
cables. Photo guide: How to check the control cable tension of your Zodiac |
