    H! Peteri,
    An electronic man in Lop Buri is working for me so that I can use my old flight helmet and headset with an old ICom nav/com VHF. All from the 70's. I will retrieve my handset from him some time this month. It will be nice if we can get to meet

    We met in Hua Hin and I am showing your white 701 in My Photo. Currently I am building new wings with FULL nose ribs, and not just closing the slat back to the wing nose. I have lost my notebook (and cell phone), and figure out that I might meet you here.

    I have seen the new wings by Uthai. Of course, they have been flying for a while.
    Uthai designed his own nose ribs, probably adapted some curve from his Sonex, not even using NACA 650-18. Mine uses NACA 650-18 Mod. ( with extended slat), that is, I keep the full cross section of 710 wing. Doing this, my wings will have more wing area, more lift, reduced drag, with the penalty of losing some STOL capabilities. I expect my VG's (made from aluminum T-bar for cieling) will help regain STOL status. I have made a wing section to try on top of a running car and video tape the test to see the optimum way to install VG's of my design.

    Your airplane on My Photo has the most visitors among all my photos, so far. If you show it in yours ( and I will delete it from my side), you are sure to have new friends interested in your white 701.

    At the above address, a '701 look-alike folk' has some thing to say about the leading edge without slat.

    Hi Peter, thanks for adding me. I really think it's cool you are over in Thailand. I was living over in the Philippines all of 2013. I'm back in the USA now and looking to build my forth aircraft. But for now, I'm designing and entirely new aircraft which will have a wing similar to the 750.

    BTW, one of my aircraft which is flying near the Washington DC area has the Viking engine in it.
