  Zenith CH601 Series  
  Jabiru USA Sport Aircraft has developed a complete firewall forward kit for the Zenith CH601 Series of aircraft. The FWF kits can be configured to fit the 601HD, 601HDS, and 601XL for either the Jabiru 2200 engine or the Jabiru 3300. Careful attention was paid to the fit and finish of the fiberglass parts with the result that the cowls and other fiberglass parts are the best in the industry requiring minimal surface prep before painting.
Cooling is an important part of any Jabiru engine installation and Jabiru USA has configured the FWF kit to provide adequate cooling air flow under all environmental conditions. Additionally, the cowl system profiles an attractive front end to the Zenith airframe.

Jabiru USA owes a debt of gratitude to Al Beyer of Oshkosh, WI for allowing us to use his 601HDS for cowl and FWF kit development.

Features of the Zenith CH601:

Cowls A totally new cowl designed around the proven cooling airflow patterns of the Jabiru J450 aircraft.   The top cowl attaches with Camloc fasteners and can be removed easily in a minute.
Gel Coat Finish The fiberglass parts are very high quality with a gel coat finish that really does require only a minor bit of filling and sanding before being ready for paint.
Molded Air Intakes The carb intake air duct and  cabin heat air intake NACA style ducts are already molded into the cowl.  No more messy epoxy work!
Oil Door The top cowl includes an oil door for easy and quick oil level checks
Spinner A new spinner with high quality gel coat that is ready for pain with just a light scuff.  No filling required.  Aluminum Spinner Optional
Carb Heat A new smaller airbox that easily fits on the left side of the firewall.  All hose flanges are already bonded in place.
Oil Cooler A new plate type oil cooler is furnished that fits in the lower cowl front opening.
Stainless Braided Hoses w/ Aeroquip AN fittings Real aircraft quality oil hoses with anodized aluminum AN threaded fittings.  No more clamped oil hoses!.
