    Hi Rick

    Thanks for the comment on my photo. I had to make the fibreglass fairing because I trimmed the bubble at the sides before inserting the front hoop as described in the instructions and when the hoop went in it changed the bubble shape and left to much gap to the bonnet at the sides. No matter because it looks better, has a neoprene seal recess under it to seal perfectly to the bonnet all round and is actually lighter than the rubber one supplied from zenith.

     

    How is your plane flying. Is Yu enjoying the adventures?

     

    Regards

    Thanks Rick.

    It would be awesome to get it down there and have a Zodiac gathering whilst sipping some port.

    Hi Rick, I know this is more than 3 years late, please forgive me, wife trouble etc.

    I am no longer the owner of the aircraft, had to sell it, new owner is flying it now and I had the privilege of flying in it a few weeks ago. Continental 0-200, cruise at 137 MPH.

    Your question regarding the Europa canopy, it is going to be difficult trying to fit it after build completion. Basically I made the top part from an Europa mold and then reduced the width of the canopy to fit the Zodiac bottom half.

    Best regards
