Vinyl wraps more than 4 years old???

I would like to hear from folks who have at least 4 or more years on their vinyl wrapped plane.   How is it holding up?     Would you do it again?   What brand of wrap?   Where did you buy it?   Suggestions for new inexperienced folks?See More

Fuel Design: Risk of sucking air from one tank while in a steep turn

There are several solutions to prevent a fuel system from sucking air from a fuel tank while in a steep turn when the fuel level is low.   This has been a hot debate on other forums.I am curious to hear from folks who are actually flying their planes on which design you use to address this risk.  1) Header tanks?2) Check valves?3) Limit fuel selector valve to only use R or L tank but not both?4) None, I use "both" on my selector valve and do not have a header tank and have not had any…See More

using leaded fuel with O2 sensor

While this is not necessarily unique to Viking engines I thought it would be as good a place as any of the forums to ask the following questions.Since most newer automotive engine systems use O2 sensors and knowing that leaded fuel fouls O2 sensors, (given that we will occasionally have to use leaded fuel) I would be curious to know:1) How long (hours) before the O2 sensor goes bad?2) What are the signs that the sensor is going bad?3) Is you experience based on the narrow band sensor or the…See More

Hi Charlie - thanks for liking my paint job.  Glad to know other folks as I really designed that myself with influences from existing Zenith Planes and Carbon Cub plus others, to all come together to what I wanted.  It was painted by Leon at Alabama Plane Painting about an Hour south of Montgomery.  He is seriously backlogged.  If you haven't seen these, maybe they will show the paint job even better:

I appreciate your comment, I attempt to document this unique experience as a novice builder and I continually learn from my mistakes and from others. I have only been at it since first Zenith class in 10/16. But it truly is educational, recreational and of course humbling. My EAA tech advisor told me that at least it keeps him out of the tavern.

Charlie, I accidentally clicked the ignore button on your message. I think I added you now though.  

Anyways, I helped with the 750 STOL build but not the Cruzer so I dont think I can weigh in on that part!  Feel free to email me at kvoltz@eaa.org

It wasn't bad, I filled out the appropriate paperwork and submitted it and it went pretty smooth from there. They look at the coordinates and verify that it wont be a navigation hazard to other airports and such. The only issue I did have was with the lady who made the initial contact via phone, she obviously didn't want to deal with it. I used the garmin in the plane for the lat long coordinates and she was pretty rude about that, wasn't acceptable to her and pretty much called me a dumbass. She changed the numbers to what she said they should be, rounded them off, and now the field shows up across the river a few hundred yards away but its no big deal. I still have the forms and paperwork so when you get ready I'll dig them out so you'll know what you need.

Thanks Charlie, it was a great trip through the mountains to the west coast. I am planning a longer trip for this spring...from Ottawa, across to Calgary then up to the Yukon. ( about 8000 miles). The ch 750 is a great aircraft for its mission but certainly 'takes its time' for longer adventures. Conrad
