    Hi Don,

    Sounds like some future fun. I am currently snowed in as I life up in the Piute mountains above Lake Isabella. The 701 I fly has the Rotax 912ULS 100HP engine. Which engine is in your aircraft? Are you based out if Turlock or some other airport?

    Dan, I would like to make contact with you if possible. I just started a 701 from a "project" I purchased. I would like to see a finished airplane. I live in Tulare, CA. twgallian@att.net

    Dan, I will be here on Saturday. The strip is plenty long but is narrow with oak trees on the South side. I have one neighbor that is not aviation friendly!!??
    I can get coordinates for you. If you like I could meet you at Lodi or San Andreas airport and we could drive over here and look at the strip and the location of the not so friendly neighbor. Google satellite maps has a good pictire of the strip. 5251 Oak Hollow Road, Va lley Springs, CA 95252 give me a call, Bill

    Hi Dan,

    I was planning to go to the Fly-In at Quality Sport Planes in Cloverdale on May 9th. I was going to fly my 701 and was curious if you were going. If so I could come by on my way up and we could go in to Cloverdale together. Let me know if you’re interested.

    Dan, i haven't been able to make any sense out of how to integrate the jury strut caps; jury struts and brackets together. Drawing 7-V-10 shows the caps inside the tubes but the tubes look they have been compressed at the ends?? What di you do? Bill 209-772-1183
