Moving from trial to real project

Posted on September 15, 2012 at 2:44pm 1 Comment

About a year ago, after spending time investigating a number of options for kit aircraft, I decided to get the rudder kit from Zenith via the UK (South) agent Gary Johnson. It took me a long time to build the rudder through being busy with work and other interests, and having to acquire tools along the way.

Hi Lindsay,

No problem if you would like to visit.   I don't really count myself as an experienced builder.   However. I did build one aircraft some 30 years ago - but work interferes
greatly with one's hobbies!

I am making progress with the 750, however   . I have made the rudder, horizontal stabilizer, elevator, trimmer, the four parts of the slats, the four parts of the elevators, and I waiting for Gary to inspect so that I can put the final tops skins on the wings ... so making progress. Sprayed a lot of epoxy, also. Space is a real problem - but I am managing - with parts stored everywhere, including the house and 'structurally finished'
items suspended from the roof of the garage and car port.

Good luck,

Tony O
