Looks like the estimated purchase price of this "roadable aircraft" went up to
almost 200,000 since it actually flies. Check it out:

Subject: | Zenith 701 for sale on ebay no engine |
In case anyone on the Kolb list might be interested, I currently have my
701 for sale on ebay without the engine or FWF (I have the hibble to start
a new project, and I plan to keep my Rotax 912UL for the next project.)
The reserve price is set at well below the cost of the parts. NO engine,
prop or FWF included. You can save 1200 hours of building, the cost of
tools, and a few thousand over the cost of the kits. You also have the
full range of engine options for the airframe (there are several used
Rotax engines currently available on Barnstormers for pretty good prices,
people are also seem to be having good luck with the VW engines, which are
really inexpensive). The airframe flew beautifully, very light and
responsive on the controls, straight as an arrow. The ebay number is:
200321407977.

No, the furry critter is a tribble (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trouble_with_Tribbles).
"The hibble" is a combination of a "hankering" for something, but you know
it might mean terrible trouble with the wife. Hankering-terrIBLE
trouble... hibble. ;-)

That is very good information, makes me very glad I got a Warp Drive prop ! Since
the performance is so close, the warp has the advantage of being far stronger
than all the others.

Awhile back I posted a request for information from anyone who had a working
knowledge of Loehle Aircraft's Aero Coating fabric finishing system. There
was only one response. About the same time I called Loehle, spoke with Sandy
(she didn't give a last name) and ordered their book, paying by debit card.
After almost three weeks of waiting to see it grace the mailbox, I emailed
them to request that if the book had not already been sent, please just
cancel the order and refund my money. I never received any sort of reply and
after checking tonight, I see that they never even bothered to take the
payment. I can only wonder what might have transpired if I were deep into
using their product and found I needed another quart of one of their
reducers. Not very impressive customer service.

Rick=2C
Therein lies the problem of every company on this planet. Some are fanta
stic=2C some are absolutely useless. Thanks for alerting everybody about L
oehle's business practices.
For what it's worth=2C you can't get better service for Poly Fiber and Ae
rothane products than Jim and Dondi Miller. "Best there it!!"
When I recently painted my entire plane (two weeks ago)=2C Jim gave me so
me pointers that helped solve a couple of "issues" I was having.
BTW=2C Beaufort=2C you were right. A glass of warm MEK each night really
helped me get past the arduous painting project. I might have to argue ab
out the "kid" comment. At 56=2C I ain't no Spring Chicken.

Have a story also...but since it happened to a friend I will not
relate it here... I would not deal with them on that account..
Sandy is Mike Loehle's wife... She holds the fort down..
The paint system is a first quality product...judging from a plane
that I saw ... Two part Poly urethane... as I recall... The
system is not their invention to my mind...The all in one sealer/uv
paint is latex perhaps? I am thinking someone out west...Wash state
or Montana? may be the supplier?
The best finish I have ever seen was on my Z Max...Automotive Base
coat-Clear coat...Tremendous gloss and depth... UV protection goes
into the clear coat...The plane I had was 5 years old and showed no
signs of cracking or ring worm.
sherwin williams ultra 7000 ..... Naturally I did not paint it....:-) Herb

Subject: | Anyone have experence with Hirth F-30? |
Hello Folks,
Does anyone have experience with a Hirth F-30 2 cycle; it is now available
with "85hp fuel injected, dual ignition, with high torque version, fan
cooled, G-40 gear box". It sounds like some of the small Hirth are not well
liked, but there is a bit of a cat fight out there on the web between Rotax
and Hirth owners!
I am all ears!
Thanks your thoughts,
Nick Cassara
