Hello to all wonderful Zenith builders!
Just returned from the first day at Osh. (open that wallet big time to get in!) but always happy to be able to attend.
When they asked me if my limp was from an aviation related accident, I replied Yes, I tripped on an aircraft tie-down and fell.... (less explanation needed than the real reason!)
Saw the new cowl that was mentioned in a previous post on the 701 factory plane.. pretty, yes... but the part I like is the little trap door on the top (for checking the oil and such).....
Good to see all the Heintz family and friends, distributors, co-workers and suppliers in good health and doing what they do best....
In the parking area I saw Mike Sinclair's tail dragger 701.. truly awesome and very nice construction... he came from a long way... could not find Mike but loved the paint job and the little extras that he added...
Wanted to announce the new DVD from HomebuiltHELP (blatent advertisement beyond this point) on building a Glass instrument panel. Explanation and pics available at:
http://homebuilthelp.com/Glass_Panel.htm
Hope to return tomorrow... a $4 soft drink at the show does taste better than one purchased for less... makes gas at $3/gal look like a good deal! (OK I'll stop complaining now, just kidding!)

I was kind of disappointed in the number of builders at the show. I was really hoping to see Ben Haas' CH801 there, but the only one that I saw was Larry Landucci's CH801, which is always nice to see. There were only a couple of CH701s that I saw, including the taildragger you mentioned, and they were neat. There were a some 601s scattered about, but I was really hoping to see some 801s. Oh well, such is the way 
Otherwise, great show, although my legs are really tired!
Best regards,
Chris

Try to take in the Lancaster thats appearing there. Truly a special plane, literally pulled back out of the grave. I've watched it fly only once, I'd love to see it again. Only two left now.
