    Lot's of things, nickisil cyls save 18#, another 10# or so is there if you get SERIOUS. Roy's is the only bearing I'd consider as I watched him develop it over the yrs, he's almost finished with mine now. Dan's DOES have a good track record however.
    Still sending out kits for Leonard's airplanes all over the world.

    I'm not anywhere close to flying the 750, probably 18 months away at least. I just started the fuse, have the wings & tailfeathers complete. What part of Houston are you in? My email is jdy100@comcast.net, cell # 832.309.1730. If I can help in any way let me know.

    Paul - Parts looking good. I finish scratch building my 701 in April of 09. I'm enjoying the flying now. However, I miss building and I'm currently researching my next build.
    Good luck. - Chris

    Thank you for your attention to the project.
    I am also very happy with the progress.
    The complete set weighed 95 kilograms, now managed
    considerably reduce the weight of the engine exhaust.
    The propeller is made of wood reinforced and even very big.
    Note that the propeller hub is higher with the use of reductive.
    I will send all data and video, wait for results of further test flights.
    keep in touch and see you soon.

    Hi Paul, thanks for the nice comment on my Corvair. Yep, that's an Evektor Sportstar in my profile pic. I have noticed the same plane in your pic for some time and meant to send you a note about that. It's the aircraft I got current again in and have enjoyed renting. I intend to get some dual in a 601XL before I fly my plane but the SportStar has been a great plane to fly as it's performance is so close to the Zodiac. Regards / Dave

    Paul, you look to be progressing well with your project.  I am trying to get my major assemblies completed so I can start to get the main airframe together.  I hope your shop has AC as I have been hearing about how hot it has been in Houston lately.
