Sorry about letting that "Probable Spam" in the subject line of my last post live
on!
Some email servers add that to the subject to flag possible spam. I should have
noticed it
and removed it (which I have now done).

J.
You might want to get in touch with another 750 builder by the name of
Andr=E9 Levesque, who was/is considering the same engine choice. He can
be reached on the Zenith Aero website at the following address
http://www.zenith.aero/profile/AndreLevesque?xg_source=profiles_memberL
ist
Good luck with your choices.
regards
Robert
