I have been building a 701 for several years, not a full time thing for me as I hope any one may see. Wings, rudder, horizontal tail done. most of fuselage and firewall are pretty close. I am having some difficultly with the instrument panel, as there is no instructions for the exact placement of all the gauges and controls for the basic instrument package. I am also having a problem with the top skin between the firewall and instrument panel. Is there is an updated manual on CD that is available or do You have any of this information. I can read and follow instructions, if I had them. I think that if I had some help with these small problems I might be able to get this thing going. (Flying). I hate messing up, its discouraging. And can be expensive. I have thousands invested and I can,t or won't give up, but it is taking much more time than I would like. If You could help me some how, it will be greatly appreciated. Please contact me by e-mail or by phone, which ever is better for you.        firedave@tidewater.net    or    (207) 323-1622      I will be excited  to hear from someone that may be able to help me get going again.                                           Thank You in advance,   Dave Stone of Appleton, Maine.

Dave,

Do you have the Zenith photo assembly guides? They have a section on the top skin over the instrument panel, as well as all the others. As to the instrument panel, I laid mine out using a sharpie. That way you can see how it will look, and what fits, then erase it with alcohol, and start again if you don't like it. Also see attached photo guide.

Good luck!

Randy
