Bottom Hatch

After helping on the Zenith One Week Wonder a few years back i enjoyed that everyone that pulled a rivet got to sign their name alongside their rivet, but as everyone knows when you paint it you loose them. Well when i started on my Cruzer i painted the inside of the bottom hatch white and have been letting everyone that helps or pulls a rivet sign the inside side of the Hatch. (They all seem to enjoy it)      After the plane is done no one will ever see it except for me, hoping it will bring…See More

4 Generations first 4 rivets

Posted on May 23, 2017 at 10:00pm 3 Comments

I've seen others post pictures of their first rivet but I had to show the first 4 rivets:

Starting with my Dad, Desmon Fisk, 90 yrs. old, then me, John, my son Brian, and my 1 1/2 yr old grandson, Henry.

May the adventure begin!

Picked up Cruzer Tail Kit Today

Posted on May 12, 2017 at 10:27pm 0 Comments

I picked up the Cruzer tail kit today at the factory! The staff there are all great! Joyce was a pleasure to meet, Steve gave a great tour of the factory and answered all questions, Roger gave me and my son a great Demo ride! I didn't catch the gentleman's name that helped load my truck but he was great also. i was very pleased how the parts were either boxed or wrapped in paper. Inventory was complete! Now just need to star building.

Hi John,

Good luck on your Cruzer project. I have built two with very satisfying results. Both are Viking powered, 110 and 130hp. The 130 is the best with lots of extra power for the hot and humid days here in Thailand.  Besides the two Cruzers I have built a 601XL and a 701SP. I am now working on a 650 to keep busy. It will be powered by a Viking 130 with a complete MGL package.

Mike
