Hi Phil C
You have every right to reach your own conclusion with regard to the
safety of the Zodiac XL. I just think bragging about taking the kind
of chance you are taking like Scott did in his post is a questionable
thing to do. I can't see how anybody can be surprised that the vast
majority of people think the Zodiac XL needs work after being
grounded in several countries and so strongly criticized by the NTSB.
I don't think you understand the FAA. My questions to the managers
at the FAA indicated there is nothing they can do at this
point. They need to perform studies and then issue an NPRM which
takes at least a year before taking any regulatory action. Even
then C they really don't have any interest in amateur built versions
of the XL - only those that are factory built. Those of us who
choose to build experimental airplanes are literally free to kill
ourselves any way we want in the FAA's view.
You are correct that the hired engineer in Germany and the retired
designer of the XL indicated there is no problem. For me C this
doesn't hold much weight against the NTSB ruling. However C as I said
before C this is a decision each of us must make for ourself.
I just wish the Heintzes would go ahead and do the engineering
necessary to satisfy the NTSB ruling so the rest of us can go and
enjoy our Zodiacs too.

Paul,
your clearly not happy. You need to sell your plane and fly a certified plane.

The NTSB only makes recommendations, they do not make rules.
