Steve, I am upgrading to the LED and will have a set of never used Nav/Strobe position lights. Make me an offer I can't refuse.

Hi Steven, Yes we ended up making the nose ribs about 5 mm shorter but then that meant the furthest forward skin rivet did not have enough edge distance (have enough meat). After it was all said and done, we think the problem is with the centre ribs (ribs between the spars)(sorry don't have my plans here at work). We think it was first designed without spar doublers and when they were added in, the centre ribs were not shorted accordingly on the plans. If you have the same problem as us, we would recommend you shorten the centre ribs rather than the nose ribs. Hopefully everything will work for you without all this fooling around. Cheers, Joe

Hi Steven,
I just made some sawdust this weekend cutting forms. I'm really at the beginning. I also have a good core for the WW Corvair conversion so I'll alternate between the engine and airframe as the mood strikes. I'll try to have the core disassemble and internal parts ready for WW Corvair college in November. From the photos it looks like your project s moving very well! I expect I'll have to build a brake to do that job. I'm going to use the plans from the old zenair.org website with some mods. Let me know if you want to look at those plans. I'll send them or post them here.

Happy bending!
Jerry

Hi Steven,
My name is Scott Sutton. I am thinking of moving to the 750 plans, I currently have the 701 plans. I recently visited Dr. Carpenter in Knoxville and took a look at his 750. I was very impressed with the aircraft. I am curious how your plane is coming along and what do you think so far about plans building the 750? I will be a plans builder also.

Thank you,
SS
