This set the Component kits for me to be the proper way. I have no regrets. My 24x32 garage has to hold a truck 5 motorcycles 15 or so RC planes(2nd floor) and some unidentified objects in a few corners. So with space being a concern I had to do the components, I was able to build in 4 main orders from Zenith.1 rudder kit, 2 tail sectin -rudder, 3 winges with fuel tanks and 4 fusealdge with controles and reamainder. I still have the 1rst riviet gun purchased through Zenith with the nl y repair being an O-ring for the regualtor. It has worked out well for me. I am down to one last box of parts and I see an engine in my future. One of them pretty little Jabirus! I question at times about the cost but my wife says its my dream so I need to keep going. Now if I can only get all the softball equipment and other activities out o the way. My daugther is my first priority just as my son of 27 was. She is the one unscrewing the lid off the rudder kit on my website. She was 6 then. At 6 she liked helping and at 10 its still the same. Aint life great!! I even got a bonus at these economic times last week. A little closer to that engine! Thanks to you guys that are flying and sharing the ocasional stories that makes us smile as well as jelous. We'll see you in the blue yonder eentually!

The plane was started back in 1999=2C was built from a factory kit by-the-book by a skilled and patient craftsman in his early thirties=2C then got stuck in the "90% done=2C 90% to go" phase several years ago as a result of increasing demands of my day job. The airframe is mostly completed=2C sitting on wheels in the garage. It has the forward-opening canopy and the wing tanks like the XL=2C but no flaps and bungee gear. (Incidentally=2C this design never had flutter issues=2C caveat emptor.) I have a Jabiru 2200 engine new in crate as shipped from the factory=2C and the FWF kit. (What it lacks in power relative to the bigger 3300 it makes up for in greatly reduced weight...) All told I have about 600 hours of work into it. I estimate it will take another 200 hours of work to mount the engine and finish the wiring and plumbing=2C which would result in a minimalist flying configuration. With the upcoming changes in my work situation I simply don't have the time to complete the project=2C find it a home and get all the paperwork finished--I decided I'd rather be flying during the little free time I have=2C so my loss is your gain. I invested over $30000 into the project so far. I'm asking $24000 for everything=2C including the various special tools. If there are no takers for the whole package by the end of the summer I will entertain reasonable offers for parts.
