Used set of plans and manuals for 701;
If you have some lying around and don't mind sharing let me know. Appreciate a

Stefan,
The materials you are looking for are copy righted materials.
And are readily available from their respective sources for a reasonable price.
You should Buy a set of plans from Zenith if you plan to build one of their Planes.
The plans are well worth the nominal price.
You will then have access to their support and any parts you may find too difficult
or time consuming to build your self.
Also, without a serial number from Zenith you may find other difficulties down
the road. like insurance, selling the aircraft, registration, what ever.
The DVD's are not expensive, and the people who offer them put a lot of hard work
into putting those together for us.
They deserve your business.
Just my thoughts... :)

Thanks,
Appreciate your thoughts and certainly agree.
At the same time, us "builders" are willing to help each other and are very willing
to sell their "old" materials and share resources. This is what makes this
community great! I assume you are not telling me that selling used DVDs, plans
and manuals is illegal. ZAC has no problems transferring plans and serial numbers
to a new owner if requested.
FYI, I have purchased my plans from ZAC already (750) and also ordered DVDs from
Homebuilthelp. I don't mind paying for "value" and work. At the same time, old
plans and manuals and DVD's for the 701 are of big help for those of us with
the 750 since there are very limited manuals and plans available at this point.
So is this mailing list and that's the reason I also made my contribution
to Matt Dralle's Matronics email list. I hope everyone else does.
Bottom line, both is important.
By the way, how is it going with the forged crankshafts for the Corvair?
Good luck and keep us posted.
Stefan

Stefan,
I am very sorry if I miss interpreted your request.
I did not mean to insinuate any wrong doing I was just trying to bring light to
the fact that several of us that are trying to develop products for our respective
communities rely on the communities support to make it happen.
There fore supporting those people with your purchases helps them to further develop
other products or materials that are useful to the building community and
furthers the development of our Favorite past time.
The Forged Crankshaft samples are here.
One is at the Corvair event this weekend at the F.L.A.G. facility.
One is already in a case and should be running with in a few months.
I think the third will go to William W who has plans for it there.
We are excited to finally have samples.
Thank you for asking,
And really; no ill intent was intended by my comments.

Hey Curt
Nice tank... good job, I'm scratch building mine also. My tanks will look
just like yours... except for the stub ends. Its nice to see what mine
will look like when I'm done. I'm using 5052 H32 aluminum 0.032 for
tanks... and will also have a baffle. Both tanks will use one 4 x 6 sheet
which is only about $44 at ACS. Since I am making the tanks myself I
decided to make them with the same profile as the wing.
Van's Aircraft... is a good place to get the various flanges(for rivets)
and closed end rivets needed at really good prices. I acquired the
drain(cav-110) flange - VA-112($7.80) with the rivet holes already drilled,
and the closed end rivets AD-41H(1/16" grip) and AD-42H(1/8" grip)
$0.06/per. ACS have the same rivets for $0.18/per... which is nuts. Van's
flanges are already drilled for rivets so it makes it easier to work with,
and are the only place where I could find them. That also goes for the
finger screen flange. I used AN(-4) bulkhead fittings for the vent lines
and return lines.
I was looking at the same ACS flush mounted caps... but not sure how they
can be installed as of yet, have not had time to think about it.
The fuel sender I have is the standard VDO... they wanted $20 for the
install ring and screws... so I made mine out of 1/8 aluminum, very easy to
do.
Again nice tank! If you more photos it would be nice to see the rest of
the tank!
