I'm a retired school superintendent. I have owned a Cessna 140, Cessna 172, Beech Musketeer, and an Ercoupe. I fly off of a grass strip and have had a great time with my 750. The photo is of my Dad, who passed away in October, on his first time seeing the plane at home in the hangar.

    Thought I'd drop you a note on my progress.  Talked to Jason Smith at Aerotronics and met with him at Sun and Fun to work out the details for a new panel.  Everything worked out fine and they are going to build my panel.  Like you said, not cheap but worth the cost. Don't recall if you have an autopilot.  If you do I would appreciate any photos you have on the installation.  If not I appreciate your help.  Have a nice Easter.

    I am at Offutt. I'm an EWO on the RC-135. Are you former air force?

    I was impressed with your 750 build. Since your slightly ahead on the jab install I was curious if you had any words of wisdom. How did you do you electric wiring?

    Thank you Dr. Olds for befriending me. I have been following your post since I started my build one year ago. Looks like you have done a fine job with your build so you are a good subject to follow. I feel your excitement leading to your first flight and many to follow. Good luck and be safe first. Thanks for your postings.
