    Hi Mike,

    Did you use the FAA weight & balance form or Zenith's form? I would think you need the Zenith form but maybe both. What did you use ?

    I have to strip the plane down some to start the engine and look for any problems in engine and wiring before I close it all in.

    I'm building mine in my shop. Do you think a DAR will do the inspection in a shop on my farm?

    Hi Mike, I'm having a heating problem. I'm thinking I may not have the bottom cowling in the back cut out big enough for the air to get out. Could you let me know how big of cut out you made? What is the temp on you Viking when your in full power climb? I have two hrs on the phase one. All is ok except the temp. How you doing with you 750? 

    I hope all is well with you.

    Thanks, Elmer
