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 workshop for building. The room will be 11x22. should be more than enough. Once the parts are compete they will go out to the hangar in the backyard. should have the room complete this weekend and the workshop setup by next weekend then the fun starts. By the way a tail kit fits nice in a ford flex.

And another thing... a UL Power engine would look awesome in the back of your Ford Flex but I recommend you keep it out of the living room.

I look forward to your call.  In the meantime I've started a UL Power Q & A on Zenith.Aero so you can continue to harass the "engine guy."

Likewise Robert. If things work out well we will be calling you in a couple years for a motor

Out of respect and fairness to Zenith Aircraft it is only fair to disclose the "engine guy" is not part of Zenith but was actually Robert Helms of UL Power North America.  And, I must say, it was a pleasure meeting you and your wife.  Good luck with your project.
