The engine still has the break in oil.

I did it following William Wynne's coversion manual. I started building it for a 601HD but just have to many things going on. I have got the block together, heads on. OT-10 cam, the pistons rings are new, rods reconditioned and checked and balanced. Cylinders with new sleeves from Corvair Underground. Bell housing already cut, have WW special studs, crank turned and bearings installed. Also have harmonic balancer and oil pan. Basically it has the heads on and torqued not much more to go. If interested email at skyguynca@skyguynca.com that is also my website, you can go there and check out the aircraft I have built so far to see what kind of workmanship I do.

Now is the last chance to decide whether to go with gullwing doors, sliding canopy, or the stock Zenith bubble, front hinged of course! I asked a few months ago about gullwing doors and got this pic from one of the list members: http://lightflyers.com/gullwing2.jpg Very nice looking project. I sure would like to see some more gullwing pictures. If anybody has built a Zodiac with gullwing doors please post the website or email a picture to me. I'd be much obliged :) Thanks, Rick Pitcher http://lightflyers.com/Zodiac.html
