Thanks Fred.  My building is slowed by me trying to get my place built at Cannon Creek, but I am hoping to do it as quickly as possible.  Good luck with your plane.

The back lip of the landing gear channel should be on the outside of the fuse skin. this is what we did to fix my issue on Kaleb's advise from Zenith.

Fred, 

The side skin does not have a ripple where I left the Fuse longeron running wild. Since I had not cut it yet, it made no since to do so since the upgrade parts include a length of angle to add back what was previoulsy cut. I assume you have the Ed. 1 kit? If you have any other questions about it, just let me know!

Fred,
I'll be going through Mexico, MO. next Thursday. If you have backorder parts or whatever to pick up, let them know and I'll pick them up. As long as they will fit in or on the Suburban.

Real good to hear from you Fred. What a nice surprise. I pick up my kit on 1 April and can't wait to get started. My name came up on the hangar list at KGPM, so I have a hangar now too. I'm planning to use a Continental O-200 and hope Zenith offers a firewall forward package soon. I'll keep in touch and tell everyone at work hello for you.

See you at Oshkosh 2010!

Fred,
Looking forward to that cup of coffee. Am going to Mexico, MO this coming Thursday to load trailer and Suburban with the rest of the 750 kits. If you have backorder items that are available, notify Shirley at Zenair and I will bring them home also.

Fred,
I'm working on a 750 at home in Spencer. Let's have a cup of coffee and compare note. I started at Thanksgiving and have finished the rudder(several years ago), the horizontal stab, elevator, slats, & flaperons. Am going to MO. next Thursday for the rest of the kits. Les Hicks
