A story, about a story, about a story.... worth reading.

I read the following story (about a story in the New York Times, no less) about a Zodiac builder and his love of flying. Isn't it great to read some good news about aviation and flying, especially in a non-aviation publication?

Have a wonderful and safe time at Oshkosh - I hope that next year we will be able to join you there - perhaps bring some of the girls over - and give you a hand...

Wishing you and the team the very best of an event!

Sebastien Lori and I have returned from Arlington had what we consider a very good trip the show went well. Everyone was happy to see a real live 750 there. One gentleman called his friend who didn't come because he felt that there would not be one there. His freind drove down the next day just see and to demo fly with me hope to make a sale to him. Had some very positive commits on the 601xl seems to be some awakining interest in the 650 again. Hope it continues. Hope to see you and Roger in Oct.

Hard to say what the next cross country will be for me.

I want to explore eastern Oregon and Washington.

In about two months when the weather gets predictably good I will head out with a bunch of "fast" ultra-lights from this area. It will be a big circle route: Lodi CA, Salt Lake UT, Moab UT, Down Colorado River to Page AZ, then back home via Southern CA. These guys fly slowly – 70-75 MPH. I have been practicing flights at those speeds – not too bad in a 601 – a 701 would be better.

Also have loose plans to fly to Alaska this summer with a 701 that is being built at QSP and will be based in Alaska.

Sebastian, 6-ZU-3-6. Instead of replacing the the L's on side access cutout, place the new L angle back to back with the existing L. It would save a step by not having to replace the nutplate.

Just a note to let you know the latest. I finished the forty hours today and I'm looking forward to fly-ins, airshows, and pancake breakfasts around the state. I also hope to visit some builders who are in neighboring states within reach. Rest assured, vigilance and continued tweaking are still on the agenda. Thanks for a great kit and equally great support.

I unpacked the crate one piece at a time. A neighbor had a fork lift and got the crate off the truck. The crate is now in the center of the garage, ready to serve as my work bench once inventory is done. Thank you for your help in getting it secured. The straps held great!

2009 open hanger. Is the schedule out yet? Will everything be on Saturday, or will it start in Friday afternoon?

Thanks,
Mike
