The specs say that there is only an inch difference in headroom, but when I sat in both I noticed well over 2 inches. Looking at a few pictures, it looked as if the skylight was slightly domed. I might want to try that in a 701 to get a little more headroom. -------- Jon McDonald Building Sonex #1287 Thinking ahead about a Zenith CH 701 :D Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=255634#255634 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:26:26 AM PST US From: "Jim Smith" Subject: Re: Zenith750-List: slight dome in the 750 skylight? Slightly domed by a "crowning cut" across the middle support. Easy to do and looks great.

A piece of rubber or cork on the top and you're ready to install the glass. It's easier than it looks. Look at the photo guide. Good luck.
