New Zenith nosegear shock absorber system for Corvair engine only

Hello David, my name is Mark Schleier and I am building a 750 cruiser with the 3.0 Corvair engine as well. I would love to talk to you about your build and my build if you are available. You can text or call me at 706-436–3553. I lack just a couple of weeks on the fuselage and then I will be ready to start final assembly and work towards the first engine start. And my airplane is located in Charlotte North Carolina. Thanks David
Thanks David
I'd check with WW on the timing gauge mark, Dave.
Hi Dave!
I hope you are doing well. I'm getting soooo close now it hurts! Let me know if I can help - 630-675-9103 is my mobile. Feel free to text/call.

Hi David,
Had our tech counselor give the schematic a look. He thought it had the basic elements. Beyond that following the 2014 manual or contacting WW would be the best approach.

Hi David,
Glad we're connected; the workshop was an eye opener in terms of the project.
We have a 750 STOL kit in the shop with the horizontal and elevator in work. Also the Piet project underway. I found another Corvair core so here we go. The 3 liter we've started will go in the 750.
We can be reached at 402-274-7530, 402-274-8038(cells) or 402-274-6639.
best,
Harold and Edi
