Paint schemes

I previewed a lot of different paint schemes that I saw on this forum.  Unfortunately, most were just the profile view, and didn't include either the top or bottom view.  I really wanted to see how the wings would look along with the fuselage.  I finally tumbled to using the three view schematic provided with the plans.  I reduced this to a regular notebook page size.  Then I got some colored pens and markers and started playing with a few different schemes.  I sketched a half dozen or so…See More

I am currently in Zapata Tx.  

My 750 airframe is complete.  

As far as a shop, hang your air and electrical from above.  Build your bench as long as you can from the crate that Zenith sends you.  Use a slightly slanted vertical sheet for storing the aluminum sheets.  

Once you make me a friend, I will pm pictures of my set up. with more details.  spend the money on a palm drill, about 120 now from florida, worth its weight in gold after 30000 holes.  I have built two airplanes.

get back to you later.

Stephen I am almost done with the air frame, found support to be very good, never had any problem getting Roger or Sabastian on the phone if needed. great people to work with. I have been to 6 open house events and hope to fly my plane there this year. I cant believe that anyone had support problems. the builder site is also an excellent asset to anyone building, happy building!!!   dan
