Hi Christopher.. My name is Terry Sadler..I have just sold my 701,am looking to upgrade to the larger 750 would like to see some pictures of your project and some more imfo. Terry
Chris, I'm glad my plane pic is giving you an incentive. I have about 60 hours and all's well. I addressed a cooling issue with the angled deflectors riveted ahead of the nose gear hole. The FWF cowl wasn't the best example of fiberglass craftsmanship and does not snug up to the bottom of the fuselage very well. My cutout for the gear was about 9" across and with the deflector, cooling issue is gone. I used rubber gas hose included in the kit and ran it through the firewall on the right side with a fitting into a gascolator on the engine side. It is an upscale version that accommodated the fuel routing I wanted in the engine compartment. I added pics to my page that you can view. You can expect a lot of fun when you get airborne, so best wishes as you soldier on.

Chris, owing to a miscue in my adding photos, you'll find the two I mentioned in the slide show.
