Thanks Bill. Have to connect the part of the fuel line which I changed in order to include a gascolator in the system. Then done (if it runs smooth at idle this time). Tim
Many thanks, Bill. Yes, I plan to visit the Zenith factory if all works as planned, in September. My 701 project is going well. I have most of the "rudder," horizontal stabilizer and elevator done, except for controls. I've had lots of other project distractions, and am really anxious to make major progress starting in the fall. Many thanks again.
Thank you Bill. I will be in touch. I recently started working once again on my project. I feel you support will help me stay focused and get my plane completed. I do want to talk with you about speeding up the process after I get my wings completed.

PS What is the feedback on the Viking Engine?

Thanks Bill,I would love to visit one day should the oppurtunity arise. Living here in Zimbabwe puts my along away away from you, fortunately your are only a click away on internet. I am just waiting for the cost of FEDEX to send the plans to me and then my project can come to life.
Thanks for the invite. We've already been to the factory once, to fly an 801 and a 750. We missed you guys on that trip.
We will make it a point to visit the next time we are up. And I'm sure there will be several trips!

Hi Bill:
Dave Junkins here in Bloomington, IN. I am really enjoying building this 750 emensly. Compared to other planes I have built this is supremely easier and with the best directions ever. With that said, I need to know if the elevator trim servo motor has been changed. The directins I have indicate a square motor with several wires coming out. The motor I think I have appears to be shaped like a gun and has only two wires, a black and a red. If these have been changed, I do not have the servo motor connectin rod (T2-7A-TS). I think it is just a small worm gear between the motor and tab (75T4-7). Is this something I should take up with the factory? Dave
Thanks for the welcome note. I'm looking forward to the project and my first flight in my 750. Sorry we didn't have time to stop by when at the factory; certainly will do next time and will plan the time in advance to visit.
I would like to visit the States at some stage but at this stage pressure of work is such that travelling to the other side of the world is not an option, but if I ever do get the chance I will call in and say hello. Thanks for the invite,
Thanks for the invite,and will give it my attention in the next year.When my vacation comes around.Hopefully will have something built enough to make a Q&A as well as pleasure trip.
Thanks for the welcome, but actually I now have two member profiles. I was a member a couple years ago, but was apparently was locked out because of a period of inactivity, so I had to reapply. I can't delete the older member profile, so you can do it for me, if you can. My son Doug also has had this problem and has two profiles. If you want to clean up your records, you are free to remove our older profiles.

Bill,
Thanks for the hospitality. I attended the builders workshop on 6/23 - 6/24/2011.
