Hi all, I'm hearing alot of conflicting info about rotax. Does anyone know if there is a PDF with the maintenance schedule or anything like that?. I'm hearing... carbs need rebuilt every 200 hrs Rubber replacement every 5 yrs Rebalance carbs ?? Hrs Sprag clutch need replacing ?? hrs Gearbox...

I wanted to ask about the hingeless ailerons. Any comments take on them? Idiotic or brilliant? Thanks

Some more good info...I haven't heard that the wing lockers leak. If that's true, wings without locker will be a must have. The 1 airport by me is expanding and plan on having new hangars in 2 years (I'm guessing double with anything airport related). The other aiport, someone would have to...

Very tragic. I've read that's the trickiest part transitioning from ga to LSA, about how much more sensitive they are. I've flown 2 lsas that weren't to bad as far as sensitivity. Is the 601 alot more sensitive?

Gust locks, cowl plugs, chocks added to the list. Imoron paint, wing lockers, and vgs added also. Nice interior Stan!

Haha, I was just going to post that I did misread that. Thanks for clarifying. Been working alot of hours lately. If I were to purchase a 601, would I need to purchase anything other than a canopy cover to leave it outside? Would the opening for the elevator get rain or moisture in it? Any...

Thanks Stan, Good to know the 601 xlb should be as good if not better holding up to corrosion than a Cessna or Piper. I am finding out that most wings and fuselage are made from 2024 alluminum because it's stronger (have no clue by how much?) Than the 6061 that the 601 is made from. I am reading...

I read that on there website, but wanted to check with people that are familiar or owners to see if it was true for any weather. I was suspicious kind of the same suspicions I have about the cruise speed and takeoff distances in the poh alot of times. Tied downed outside in Arizona weather vs...

Thx Ken, I read the first but no the second link. Will read it later. Thx lndwarrior, Good info on the metal differences. In your opinion, since I don't have a hangar now and don't know when one would open, should I cross the 601 off my list of possible aircraft?

Thx bflynn, U said the wing was fixed before the b mod, is there a model year that they changed the design and what was the change? Thanks

I'm in the market to buy a plane and the 601 is one that would fit my mission. Question 1: would the 601 hold up on tie downs the same as a Cessna or Piper? (No hangars available in the area at this time) Question 2: has any wings follen off since the "b" has been installed? (From the...

I've read Cherokees are one of the easiest to land, one of the reasons I'm looking at it. What do u mean by extra system?

How long does fabric last if hangared and cared for? How often does it need to be repainted?

Thx all for the comments. Seems like there is a little more support for the tripacer. And for some reason, I like the look of the flying milkstool. Hangaring either isnt an issue. I was just stating what was available to me. How are these when comparing flying, landing? One easier than the...

1962 Cherokee 160, paint and interior less than 5 yes old, 3600tt 1100 smoh, Florida plane, no sb's for corrosion done. Vgs and speed mods. 25k 1952 150 tripacer, 2500tt, sboh 175, stoh 711. Not sure when covered or interior, but looks ok from pics. 17k First plane and am not looking to...

Chartbundle, The issue is you can not check the corrosion without taking wing tanks off or put in an inspection plate, which the seller has not done and from talking with him, doesn't sound like he would let me. The prebuy rolled into an annual is what I was considering doing, thx Anyone, Is it...

Flyingron, Are saying these ads are for no issues? Thought there were several areas of the wing that get corrosion which is why we have these service bulletins?

Agreed, I think this would be the only way, if at all, I can get them done before I by. I think that is what I will try and do

Are u saying seller pays for the sbs to be done? I'll probably pay for a full annual instead of a prebuy

Thx Tom, will make sure the ads are complied with. The issue is, without this being an ad, the seller would never want to comply with the sb because he maybe stuck with a grounded and unsellable plane if corrosion was detected. From a buyer's point of view, if it's not done, I would have to...
