    Hello,

    Welcome to the "club"

     

    Where will you base your 701?  My 701 ZMX is hangared at Omaka.  There is another in Motueka, one in Hokatika and one or two in the Canterbury Region.

     

    There is an unofficial / informal 701 "club" organised by Glyn Jackson in New Plymouth (Owner of ZK-JLZ) which he purchased from the West Coast.  He has organised a number of trips over the past year including a great one around the Southern Alps/ Westland this last winter which unfortunately I missed being away.

     

    You'd be welcome to join up.

    Hello Deane
    I am starting to think about paint and it is something I'm struggling over.... I need to start reading up on the subject as I plan on painting it myself. I like fun colors like the reds and yellows but also like the racy looks of the different combinations of blues with silver or polished metal. I don't think the 750 looks as good with too much polished metal. That's why I like that color of blue on your plane and limited areas polished metal... Happy flying!!!!
