I am guessing that more then half the 801's built are going the partial kit route. They buy segments when they can. There are a few with rotarys in them,. It...
Thanks Ben.... I've followed your progress on your website the past couple of years. If I didn't go rotary, I might be convinced to go V8 like yours. Cost...
Jason, I started with kits. I am also building an 801. Started with a rudder, then the rest of the empennage which includes horizontal stab and elevator. The...
I used to follow the Zenith List a while back but got frustrated by being in no position to "go ahead" with a build. Back on as of 10 mins ago..... I'm...
Hi Jason The build as you go is a great option If you are spreading your build over several years. If you plan on building your 801 in a 3 year period it is...
I am planning on another OSH trip in 2007. Last year was my first time going there and if it were not for 110- 117F temps at my fuel stops going there I would ...
I'm not sure what happened to my message post, so if this is a double, I'm sorry everyone..... At one time I was subscribed to "the lists" a while back, but...
Jason, where about in Northern Ontario are you? I'm in Northwestern Quebec in Angliers, 100 km south of Rouyn-Noranda in the Temiskaming district. Jean-Paul...

Hi Dave, I should have the 801 floats ready by this fall for installation over the winter months. I’m concentrating on the 701 first for Sun-N-Fun and the...
HI Mark, Thanks for the reply. I'm in no hurry. I probably won't have my plane done until Summer of '08. Are you building amphibs for the 801's? Do you have a...
Dave, I will be building both the amphibs as well as straight 2200 floats for the 801. After I have finished testing the 801 on the Zenair design floats and...
Mark, Thanks for all the information. I understand the concept of going with demand and where the money is. I'm in business too. I'm sure you'll put the word...
Mark, This may be a message for another thread, but I recall reading a few months back some discussion about questions regarding the mounting of floats on the ...
Hi Norman, No problem on the thread, I have talked to Chris Heintz about attachments of the floats for the 801. We have approval and direction for our...
Hi Mark, I just read the post by Norman and it got me to thinking. Is it possible to put float fittings or mounts on the fuselage (801) while constructing it....
Dave, were not there yet to put it plainly. However, it is our intent to make the installation of the floats simplistic in nature like on the 701 and the 601....
