Hey Everyone
I ended up with the deal on a mostly complete 601 HDS. Now a problem I am running into is the canopy conversion from the side hinge to the XL forward hinge. Are there any instructions on how to do the conversion? Or just use the XL plans and hope for the best.

Larry,
I used the front hinged XL canopy on my HD fuselage. I built it that way from the start, but don't remember any real concerns with the change. I did buy the entire XL canopy kit including the additional hinge related pieces on the sides. I can dig up pictures if you need them.

Hello, Larry

I am building from plans, but bought the CH650 canopy kit from Zenair.

I have the homebuilthelp.com video that describes the 601-XL to 650-XL canopy conversion - I think it will be very helpful.

I didn't start the installation yet, except for the front fittings and the lock/unlock rod.

And a Hendricks latch - pretty cool.

Good luck
Carlos

Hi to everybody,

Thanks, Marcos
