    Hi Roger:

    Glad to hear that you are building a CH-701! I am embarrassed to admit that I never got past the rudder on my 701 project. I did that part in a workshop out at the zenith plant in the previous millennium. In the meantime, life got in the way and I wound up being busy with a zillion other things and never got back to it.

    Now however, I am about to order a full STOL CH750 kit and go to work on it this year. I'll initially be building it up in Everett, Washington, where I'm working right now. But I still have my little place in Enterprise (right below the airport!) and another in Heppner. So I am looking forward to getting back to Eastern Oregon before long, and some doing some fine bush piloting in my favorite part of the state.

    Another thing we have in common... You used to be a Porsche mechanic, and I drive a Porsche! I've got a pristine 986 Boxster, and I'm on the lookout for a 997 Carrera S Coupe sometime in the not too distant future...

    Hey Rodger I have put a hold on my build because we bought property in Pine Hollow and I am working on getting it ready to build a shop and a house but once I get all moved over here I will get back on it. I would love to see your build. If you want to call me 503-348-7907 Thanks
