PAINT SCHEMES

Years ago there was a picture of a flat black 750 with 2 IPADS on the IP. Does anyone know where I could find that picture? Im looking at paint schemes. It had a serious black helicopter Area51 look to it.

Tail Section Complete

Elevator Completed. Now I will take it apart for deburring and prime. EAA advisor came out and looked at the tail section and said everything looks good. No concerns at all. Clearly he did not look close enough. :)  I am going to put the final rivets in this week. The fuse kit will be here next week.

Finally Started the Build

My wife and I took the 11hr car ride from Michigan to Mexico to attend the rudder building workshop and pick up the tail kit and also a tool kit. I have to say it was a great experience. The entire group from Zenith was more than helpful. Except maybe that engine guy :) (just a joke) great people and a great experience. We gained a lot of confidence in the build of the project after finishing our rudder. Now the wife and I are in the process of converting 1/2 of our family room into a…
