The Wing Manual won't be completed for 'several months". I'm using the 701 manual as a reference.works ok, but not ideal. I was an artilleryman, with 1/12 and attached to 3/3 in Hawaii 1978-82.

Semper fi back at you. I was a "Reagan Marine" back in the early 80's. Please tell me Zenith has done a better job of creating understandable blueprints and builders assistance than what they offered in years past. I was just speaking to another building of a different aircraft few days ago who mentioned a Zenith 750 being built at his airport. The Zenith builder biggest complaint is the blueprints and lack of clear instructions. Has Zenith not offer clear and concise blueprints for builder to follow? I plan on purchasing my kit in February 2009 making sure other builders were not having issues with their building and assembly. Why no plans for the wings?

I went to attach the wing spar tip 75W3-2 to the spar, and I have 2 pre-driven rivets in the rivet line where the tip attaches. Do I leave them and rivet the tip as is, warping the tip web, or drill them out and replace them w/ A5's, or do I cut out the tip web at the corner around the rivets so the tip web is flush with the spar web? A Manual for the wings would certainly make life easier. -------- Ed Trudeau Tail Done Semper Fi Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=219200#219200 D======================== ========= D======================== ========= D======================== ========= D======================== ========= ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:45:36 PM PST US From: Art Olechowski Subject: RE: Zenith750-List: Wings Ken, Ed, Semper Fi to ya both, 1st FSSG, Comm Co.
