I found building a 701 very rewarding and challenging. The past year flying her for about
80hrs has been one of the funnest times in my life. I really like the 750 and think it would
be a great airplane to build. I was trying to talk Scott into building one.
Zenith is a wonderful company and their support is incredible.They have always been there for help over the years.
I would go to the rudder build seminar at the factory to see if its for you and as a great way to start the adventure. I built my rudder at the factory for $300 and left it there. I ordered a complete kit and all the options 3 months later.
My 701 is everything I expected it to be flying. I have taken up about 25 people on rides and all have loved it. It is especially fun taking the doors off and flying. Come on out to the hangar one day and see for yourself.
Welcome to the family. I wish you the all the best with your project. If you ever get the chance to visit the Zenith factory please take the time to stop by our builder assist facility too. We are their newest and nearest builder assist facility and like to have visitors. We are right here in Mexico, Mo., not far from them as well.

Hello Rich My retirement time is at its best when I`m working on my 750!. Lee
Nice! And another place to land! There's quite a few of us now out west, give us a heads up if you travel out here and want to stop by.
Thanks for the friend request. Glad to comply. I am curious as to why. Refresh me as to the reason on connection. Cliff
