Thanks.. regards Keith

Thanks for the positive feedback and encouragement, I know it takes a huge commitment to take on such a big project, I started the kit last December, and try to do as many hours as possible, every week making sure I tick off a few tasks. (last week landing gear) I do also work Full time (65-70 hours a week) So I'm very happy with my progress to date. I have also completed the rudder and horizontal stabilizer. I am enjoying the build so much, in a way I don't want it to end. I'm of to Oshkosh next month, hopefully pick some ideas and accessories..... Regards Keith.

I don't think you'll regret it, it's such a simple well manufactured easy to install replacement for the bungee. You could also try the zenith 701 - 750 forums, to see if any are flying.. to get their feedback. Regards Keith.

It's very easy to fit, drill 2 holes for the rods to pass through to secure the top cap on, spring fits inside the leg. The rods that hold on the cap slide over the pin that the bungee curved under. drill two holes for split pins. done.. They are excellent quality, about $500 from memory. I am very happy with it.

Thanks for the feed back. Yeah I know there is still a lot to do, but it's just satisfying to see things slowly taking shape.. A good build so far, everything just fits together. Regarding corrosion, using what the factory recommended, Cortec. The Only Mod so far is to do away with the bungee. Regards Keith

Well, 3 wheels..

Hi Schmacko Am interested in hangar space @ Woodside, I'm just around the corner in Mount Torrens. I wont need it just yet though, as my project isn't finished.. It'll be at least 6 months, (optimistic). As you can see from the picture I still have a lot to do.. So I'll check in with you At a later date. Regards Keith

750 CruZer for me...

Let us know how you go with the bubble doors, as I have bubble doors included in my Cruzer Kit, Alan (zenith Aust) did mention that an extra latch is needed.. As I have just opened the crate it'll be awhile before I get to the doors LOL.... Regards Keith

I bought a cheap 9" Phablet (Phone-Tablet) has everything you listed plus 2gb ram.. Extra ram makes a big difference can have heaps of apps running smoothly.... At the moment I run EasyVFR which needs min 700meg ram so 1gb ram is not enough to run it..... Keith

I assume the head injury was pre landing, caused when the pilot had to "restrain" him.

Can't see how they can call it a rotary when it has reciprocal pistons (Flaps)..... Keith

You have to change your password as they do expire, I had the same issue...

Two people have died in a plane crash in South Australia's Barossa Valley. The light plane crashed in Krondorf around 8am on Thursday and police say the two people on board died at the scene. Road closures are in place at the intersection of Krondorf Road and Barossa Valley Highway. Sad News Keith

It was a nice morning for flying @ ymbd...... Nice pics..

When you are filling out an on line form :- Under 'Date of Birth", click on the 'year' tab, and you have to scroll ALONG way down............ Watching the years flash before you eyes....

Good reporting, story well researched, and informative..

Welcome Ian. Happy flying. Regards keith:plane:

Fly by wire, is a problem when one pilot can't see / feel the inputs that the other is making... when opposite inputs cancel each other out... things go pear shape real quick....
