Gig, thanks for that headsup. I'll bookmark the link. I'd tried to find
Zeniths on the used plane links, but they're heavy to Cessnas and Pipers.
I'll sure keep an eye on the used Zeniths. Thanks again.

Dick B.

I'm no in anyway telling you not to build. BUT they are available to
purchase.

Richard:

I once had the plans to build a 30' bluewater sailboat. Then a
knowledgeable friend said buying a boat was much faster than building
one. I took his advice (bought a Westsail 32) and never looked back.
Maybe I'm in need of sensible advice again, and you and Sky Daddy are
providing it.

I do note, though, that Zenith airplanes seem rarely if ever to be on the
market.

Anyway, thanks. Probably much smarter at my age--and God knows
quicker--to buy than to build.

Cheers,

Dick B.

Dick, I'm glad to hear it.

But I agree with Sky Daddy, above - strongly consider buying a
completed 701. Even the simplest plane takes a couple of years to
build, and you can almost always buy used for less than the cost of
building yourself. When you're done with it you'll be able to sell it
for near what you've paid.
