And had a little added to the height. At 6'3" I was comfortable in their demo, but have a son and brother that are ~6'5". The only modification to the mounting hardware should be the rear brace will need to be longer.

From: Tony Bonsell --> Zenith-List message posted by: Tony Bonsell Hi Guys I'm building a 701 in Uxbridge, Ontario, about an hour NE of Toronto. Almost got my wings finished, so I'm getting ready to order the fuse kit. Got a pretty good price on the kit, but the shipping quote is $807 + 7% gst!!! Anybody know a way of bringing this price down? Maybe ganging up a shipment with someone else that's planning one? I'm within trailering distance from Midland. I wonder if they would accept the shipment? How big/heavy is the fuse kit anyway? >> Hi, Tony > The Canadian dollar is improving todays rate is 1.3474 > The fuselage kit is $4298.00 CDN to-day > The kit now includes the bubble doors > Here's the rest of the damage! > Kit 4298.00 > Crating/handling 332.00 > Brokerage 52.50 > --------- > Sub Total 4682.50 > PST on Kit only 343.84 > GST on Sub Total 327.77 > -------- > Total befor Shipping 5354.11 > > The shipping quote to Uxbridge was 807.63 plus GST > These are all Canadian Dollars as of 22/09/03 ****************************************************** Tony Bonsell (tbonsell@luxuria.com) CI-FKF Luxuria + Apparatus Design Communications 535 Cragg Road, RR #3 Uxbridge, Ontario L9P 1R3 Voice: 905.852.3848 Fax: 905.852.0652 http://www.luxuria.com ****************************************************** ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:15:51 AM PST US From: "H.

I got a couple of moving dollies from Harbor Freight and put two 52" long 2" x 4" extenders on the ends of each. It enables me to easily move the crate around the garage when my wife has garage sales, etc. I got the crate in May and haven't even opened it - the wing construction is going a lot slower than I anticipated.

First of all, I installed the side "U" channels on ribs 1 and 2 which hold the tank in place facing rearward as shown in the plans. After drilling and clecoing, I noticed the photo manual says to install them facing forward. I can't see what difference this makes, but maybe someone can enlighten me if it does"" Hap, Viewing the plans and photoguide for the tank installation, you have an idea of how it should be done, now customize your installation to suit your wing. As long as the tank is well secured with even pressure distribution you will be fine. Keep in mind you may have to remove the tank in the future. Do not install the fittings at this stage, they just get in the way. Plenty of clearance to do that later.

On drawing 7f9 it shows the Corner Angle 7f9-9sp, riveted to the bottom surface of the cabin side with a pitch 40. It does'nt specify a rivet pitch for the side surface, except pitch 30, between those two vertical "L". I have noticed on Zenith assembled cabin sides that the other ones do have a larger rivet spacing. I'm assuming the others are pitch 40. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks Phil ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 05:14:50 PM PST US From: Gary Gower Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Shipping $ for fuse kit! --> Zenith-List message posted by: Gary Gower Hi Hap, Watch out the garage sales closely... one person might ask "how much for that old wooden box..." :-) :-) :-) Same happens with out complete 601 XL kit... The 701 is taking more time to get finished than we spected, this box is getting old :-). Saludos Gary Gower. Do not archive. --- "H.

It took three trips and was packed and visibility out the right window was sometimes scarce. Very doable.
