I installed an aftermarket rocker switch rather than the switch supplied with the kit, and it has finally broken. I have what I think is the original toggle switch as supplied by Zenith and would…Continue

A while back I got hooked on watching The Walking Dead series - one of a number of shows and movies about a "Zombie Apocalypse" where most of the population is turned into zombies by a mutant virus, aliens, government weaponized virus, GMO's, etc., - you get the picture - take your choice! The plot is predictable - a small band of "normal" humans makes a trek to find sanctuary from the hordes of zombies and…

We were discussing the pros and cons of using a FSDO inspector vs a DAR. This reminded me of when I got my Repairman's Certificate. Every word is absolutely true!
At the conclusion of my successful AW inspection, the DAR said "Unfortunately, I can't issue the Repairman's Certificate. You'll have to go to the Nashville FSDO (90 miles away) for that. Be sure and call them and make an appointment - they have a lot of security now and won't accept a drop-in visit!" Sooo, I dutifully…

My local municipal airport had an open house last Saturday and the FBO manager begged me to display my 750. Of course, that didn't take much arm-twisting! HA!
I was determined, however, to not let the plane out of my sight while on display as I have heard horror stories of little kids swinging form various parts of planes that were never intended to bear any abuse, parents plopping kids in the pilots seats and getting spills and/or the products of various kid's orifices on your seat…

I need to thank you for the tip about helicopter blade tape. I wandered over to the downtown airport last week and caught a mechanic working on a Jet Ranger (Sky4News) and asked him about it. He laughed a bit and told me to go over to Pep Boys and get a roll of clear rock guard tape, like is used on car rocker panels. Said it was the same thing, only cheaper. You might want to look at this.

I still have not figured out a way to make my replies to your entries show up in them.
My current question is: How do you like your Conform Foam now that you have been flying the plane for a while?
Because of a motorcycle accident many years ago, I prefer a very firm foam on the seat base with no bolsters to keep the head of the femur off the seat. My experience with conforming foams is that they become soft and you sink in--which puts pressure on the hip.
BTW, the seats really do look nice.
Theodor Galdi said… John:
There was a posting on the Cruzer forum about building the vertical stabilizer. I replied with the "draft" email that Roger had just sent me. It is not there now.
Did you delete it?
hey John saw your plane at the open house, and a much deserved award, congratulations
Theodor Galdi said… John:
Don't know an easier way to contact you.
I ordered the folding wings option for my Cruzer and will soon be setting them up. I asked Roger if Zenith had any material on user experience with the folding wings and he said no, try the forums. I want to post in one of the forums asking about users set ups and experiences, good and bad with the folding wings. Which forum do you recommend?
Larry Griffin said… John...just dropping a line to say hello. New at this site and looking around to see who flys in the area.
The glider club moved to Cherry valley many years ago and I have flown off of it. In fact, I live 5 miles south of the field.
Is there a lot of Zenith‘s in your area?
Larry
