Most of you probably heard about the crash that claimed the life of Senator Ted Stevens, along with four others. But few have heard of the scene that was playing out at the same time on the Knik Glacier, about forty miles northeast of Anchorage.
The story below highlights some of the challenges of flying in the Last Frontier, and portrays the courage of the "PJs" -- Air Force personnel charged with the duty of rescuing downed flyers behind enemy lines. As you will read, even…

Sorry, Ken.
Didn’t realize you have a Viking engine. Nothing personal or bashing intended.
i just haven’t seen any conversations on the reliability at such sustained power levels in all of the forums invented read on Viking and aeromomentum engines. But, I almost feel bombarded by all the adds saying how wonderful they are.
Nice to meet you, and again, wasn’t meaning to bash or be personal. I would like to folllow your build and progress.
Glad to hear you made it through the quake.

My name is keith. I am building a 750 cruzer in kenai. I am seeing how many Alaskens would be interested in having a zenith builder/flyers get together. If your are interested I would like to get your input on time and location.
Thanks for your time.

FYI my new cell phone number is 907-371-0195 ....
Ken,
I am getting set up as a DAR out of the Fairbanks / Anchorage FSDO and hope to get to building by end of October. I'm selling my home in Washington and the shop too along with an Excalibur project to finance the CH750 .... can hardly wait to get one in the air. I'll keep in touch with you and look forward to meeting you someday.
Mike
Thank you, are you still in Anchorage? My number is 907-888-6822 cell; 907-385-0658 home.
Thanks for your reply Ken, maybe we'll still get to meet.

We have them . What is your asking price? Why the sell?
Transponder - havnt bought a transponder yet but left space on top of L extrusions as well as 21/4" cutout on panel. Whitehorse International is the only major airport in Canada without radar - we are completely surrounded by mountains so not much use.
Im holding off as long as possible and hoping to get a unit with both ADS-B in and out which interfaces with the skyview unit. Will need before heading over to Valdez for the extreme STOL comp next year.
I thought it was top of the cabin frame, which would be pretty close to the top longerons directly behind the cabin frame. The system powered up and it looks like Im pretty close to the factory calibration.
