Michael, if you upload your rudder picture to your "My Plane" page, I can add it directly to the rudders album. Welcome to Zenith.aero! That's a great rudder you have there. Mine is chasing me to Oshkosh for the third time. Yours will, too!

Building can be rewarding at times and sometimes aggravating. Do your research and be creative and you'll get there. I just started flying mine a week ago. I got my training this spring and my log book doesn't yet have 40 hours logged. Five of those hours are in my bird. Flying the 650 gives me a lot of confidence. It's the easiest aircraft I have flown so far.

Thanks for the “like.”

Here’s some more information on the training. I plan on charging $100 per hour dual (that’s wet) and $20 per hour for ground training. The ground rate will applied to pre-flight and post-flight briefing time. I’m trying to keep my rate about the same as dual for a C-150 but it’s not easy. It’s hard to believe that fuel alone is running about $30 per hour…oh well, we just have to get used to that. However, because I expect some training to come from a distance, I’ll put trainees up at my house for no cost. I have a unique separate bedroom and bath for a guest that really works well.

 

I hope the pick-up of the 750 went well. My wife and I also drove to Zenith to pick-up our 650. The folks at Zenith were terrific about helping us get everything loaded.
