Hi Ken, I have Thursday, June 17 scheduled for the a/c inspection by a DAR. There will be 4 planes inspected by him. It has been a long time coming, since 2003. At last success... Will send you a note after the paper is signed, Yea.
How are you doing?
Will have a hanger at Illinois Valley Airport for the time being, had a great friend that arranged the space. Take care buddy. Cedric
Ken - Linda and I enjoyed our time with you and found the visit both informative and interesting. I came away with some good ideas and will probably hit you up with some questions later on when I go to put some of the changes in place on my plane.
We discussed the venting of the tanks, and I looked that up on my drawings. It is discussed in a note on the upper right corner of 7-V-11. My drawing is dated 11/2004.
Thanks - Terry
I am going up to Salem until early next week. My cell phone [which is monitored most of the time] is 503.510.6372. I do want to take a look at your plane and talk about flying with you. I wish I could get over there while you were doing your annual and take a look at that project. If we get in contact in time for me to swing by this friday[4-30] (assuming you are still working on it), I would drive up through Medford rather than my normal trail which is up hwy 97. If not, later ....

I have heard that some owners have removed there slats for VGs. When did you get your plane completed? What do you now have as an empty weight? We are not to far apart - if possible, I would like to take a look at your plane. If you are out and about, I could meet you at the Chiloquin airport. I also drive over to your area every so often and could stop by.
Terry
What engine do you have in your plane and how many hours has it flown? I've just got my wings on and am working on the slats. Hopefully, I can get mine in the air sometime this year.
Hi Ken,
I have been finishing the bird down in Cloverdale, CA at a zenith builder assist location - Quality Sports Plane. Been down there for 4 months, almost every week. Finished it last week and will do taxi tests and get it inspected soon, will do the 40 hours down in CA. maybe due 25 hours down there and then get a ferry permit to get it to IV Valley airport. Just got my Bi Annual done with a friend up in seattle, Yea.
Cedric
Hi Ken,

Nice to see that you are building a 701... how far along are you? You said you had some questions on wing!
