Thanks for the comment. The 750 has been a challenging and rewarding project. I have some final fuel lines to secure and engine runs are planned for next week. The cowl unique in that only the nose bowl if fibreglass. Everything else is aluminum. I'll post some detail pics next week.

New to this forum not sure if I am using the correct comment area
WRT to my plane and the radiator oil cooler

the previous owner put it like that but it is not nice, I am going to configure it standard again with oil cooler on the side.

Thanks, Perry. I'm enjoying it. Got the fuel system from Skytek Aircraft, your neighbors up there in B.C.

Yes it is. I was going for the 100 hp, but I got my hands on a used engine whit only 600 h. The deal included the propeller and the Dynon flightdeck, and was to good a deal to let go. If it will work as planned only time will tell.

Hi Perry,

Do you have a header tank in your 701? If so, do you have any photos you could share?

Shay.

Hi Perry, thanks for the comment. Yes I have the engine but I'm having a hard time finding a mount.planning on building my own using zeniths design as a starting point for my own. Are you planning on finishing your 701?

Hi Perry,

Yes it is indeed the Subaru EA-81 with PSRU in the 701. I plan to transplant the power package from the 701 to the 750 when done. I will then install a Rotax 912 in that 701 and sell it outright.

I will then keep the 750.

Regards,

Norm

Oh, by the way, the foot tall numbers are for whenever I will go to Alaska. Need the big numbers for international flight.

Perry,

Thanks for the kind words.You can't see all the sags and runs in my photo, but the vinyl graphics came out well, even if I do say so myself! I'm kinda stuck at the moment, since the airport has no hangar space for the plane. So, I paint and wait.

Hi Perry

   It took me about 12 years to complete it from start. Although I was off and on a few times building a house and raising a family. It first flew in 2012. I obtained my licence with it over a couple of years. But in 2015 it was tied up out side and another aircraft ran into accidentally and almost wrote it off so I rebuilt it over 11 months and started flying it again last September and haven't stopped. Great Airplane!!

"8.50-6 for the fwd wheel (plus the extended nose gear option) and 29-13-6 Airstreaks for the main. Alaskan Bushwheels was very helpful!"

Thanks for the nice comments on my paint scheme.  Its not 100% original, but another auircraft on the webpage a few years ago was so close to something I was working on anyway that I used it with a few adapations.  I see you also have painted a "wave" to try and reduce the hard lines of the fuselage.

Another thing holding me back is a 1964 1/2 Mustang in my single car garage. Need space to work and I can't seem to part with the car....
