I was going to plans build them. 

David, I just saw your comment on the snorkel vent cap.  Also realized that almost 2 years ago you were on the 'friends request' of my sign in.  I apologize for not responding then but I'm not a computer geek.  I'm hoping to get my 750 flying this summer here in Wasilla.  I'm lucky in that two members live close by.  They are Bob Jones and Bill Bear. 

Hi Dave thank you. Is that with flaps and power? With 15 degrees of flap and about 3000 rpm I am getting about the same. My original 35 mph was no power , no flaps. I am also in the flight testing stage, currently trying different landing techniques. There's probably a whole thread on landing but haven't gone looking yet. So far the best short field over an obstacle seems to be approach at 45-50 and add a burst of power to flare, landing with stick full back. Engine out approach has to be at 60 to have enough speed for the elevator to get the nose up to flare. have done a few 300 foot landings but not yet consistent. Any thoughts??

Hi David, I'm looking for info on the tires you've got.---ben

Hi David and thanks. You live in the best state of all.

Hi Dave,

Good to  hear from you. Sounds like you are a little ahead of us. We also have the wings and the tail surfaces done. Right now we are "boxing" our first rear fuselage. We have also mostly completed the forward fuselage sections. A couple of our faster working guys think that they can be flying in 2012. Hope the summer is good to you guys.

Cheers,

Joe
