Getting started
I'm just getting finished with my hangar home and am starting on my partially built kit that I purchased.
I have a Viking 110hp engine for it. I am hoping to find someone locally to trade out work with. I've had ultralights before, but this will be my first plane. It is the Zenith 701.

Hi Michael, I am currently putting a Viking 110 in my 701, working on wiring currently, selling my Rotax 670 and ivoprop. Hope to see yours someday, might fly over when mine is installed.

That sounds great Carl, be great to have a visitor at 27MO. I just got mine registered and middle of painting when weather permits. Then fuel, brakes, avionics and finishing details. My plan is to finish it this year.
