I just ordered one from Shirley! :P
The part is really complex and is not very expensive to buy.

Randy,
I wish I could take you up on your offer, but I'm in Mesa, AZ. I want to build
the 750 and would like a smaller project to get my feet wet. I've no experience,
would you suggest the rudder class first. It's a long way to Mexico, MO.
I travel to Kansas City to see family and am thinking about taking out time
to go to the rudder class.

| Subject: | Horizontal Stab Position |
I'm afraid I've mounted the Horizontal Stab on my 701 too far forward, or possibly
too high off the Fuselage. When I test mounted the elevator I found that it
will only deflect about 18 degrees at a down angle due to interference with
the bottom horn and the Fuselage top skin. A dimension from the top rear skin
to the nose of the Horizontal Stab using a square on top of the Fuse would really
help. Also, if it is too high, can anyone tell me what the distance should
be between the Horizontal Stab bottom skin and the top of the Fuselage at its
closest point? Mine is 18mm.
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, I think your height from the top of the
fuselage to the bottom of the horizontal stabilizer is probably ok. I
just measured mine and it is 16 mm. I remember having a problem getting
the deflection angles right but I can't for the life of me remember what
I did. I would be real surprised if you would ever need more than the
18 degrees you currently have. I can get my plane up to 100 mph real
quick without much forward stick. Check with the folks at Zenith and
see if they feel 18 degrees is sufficient before you do anything drastic.
