Every time a bell rings......

a zenith gets its wings.


Well, not really. Jon Croke and I spent the last few days finishing up the Assembly and rigging for the CH750 DVD series. Now I have to get the engine and panel ready to fly. We will be changing over to the UL260i shortly and are verifying our engine mount da… Continue

UL260i? Yeah, its really that light!


Our ULPower FWF kit is coming together. The cowl will be back any day now. As you can see, the engine hangs out there quite a ways. Much time was spent on determining where the engine should be located to make the CH650 remain in CG with about any possible loading scenario. The engin… Continue

Gus,
I would like to hear your presentation, but am only attending Monday through Thursday. I realize space and time are short, but any chance of a second seminar early in the week?
I visited a short time on the phone with you last week, am building a 650 and asked about gear placement. At this time, the 350i is my first choice of engine. If another time does not work out, hopefully you can fill me in at the Zenith site when you are at your engine display. Thanks, Jerry Ebke

I won't be able to make it Monday, but I will try to make the workshop. My schedule is somewhat uncertain, so if you have someone for the 1/4 start date, go ahead and alert them.

Gus, in one of your previous responces to a post, you mentioned that you had obtained good results using " Duplicolor " self etching primer. Always looking to improve the products I use, I went to my local " Auto Parts " store, and they had no less then fourteen ( 14 ) different cans of " Duplicolor " primer. Is there any chance that you could give me the item, or product number of the one you used. ?
