From: "Brady" 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... :) -------- Brady McCormick Poulsbo, WA www.magnificentmachine.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=214382#214382 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:38:51 PM PST US Subject: Zenith701801-List: Re: Looking for 701/750 building tools... From: "Stefan" 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.

From: "Brady" 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. -------- Brady McCormick Poulsbo, WA www.magnificentmachine.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=214420#214420 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:01:20 PM PST US From: "R.D.(Ron) Leclerc" Subject: Zenith701801-List: Re: HDPE fuel tanks 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!
