    Hi there,

    Just searching for someone that has built an 801 from plans. According to the zenith aero web it looks like you have? If so, then I would like to ask about the build process.

    Thanks,

    I will definitely contact you if unsure of anything. So far so good. I go slow with progress , believe in eating it as how one will eat an elephant....bit by bit but with very much enjoyment and precision. My biggest question at this time is to select a reliable engine....still prefer the 100 hp Lycoming above all other makes and models...still a bit scared for the latest fuel injections such as the 6 cylinder Jabie ect .....also not sure if the UL fuel injection engine has proof to be the ultimate engine ?.. Rotax still attracts me as the second best. I believe the Yaris motor has started to become very popular ( low cost ) but I am not convinced that a motor car manufacture can cater for flying reliability. ( dual ignition ect )

     

    Maybe you can share your experience with me. 

     

    Greetings
