A few years ago Howard (see below) was scratch building a Zenith 701, his
dream airplane, in the hanger next to mine in Petaluma CA. He made an
excellent firewall back fuselage using stainless, rather than aluminum parts
in hi-stress places and bearings where bushings were specified. He was
getting ill when I knew him, and probably did not complete anything except
this fus.
I hope someone can use his carefully built fus and pick-up where Howard
left-off. I know he would have wanted it this way

Les,
Thanks for keeping me up to date on Howards fus. I am terribly sorry that
he passed. He was a good guy.
I am going to call his daughter today to see if she will sell the fus to me.
I know he made a lot of changes to the plans that simply make the 701
heavier but I do think he did a good job. However, I wouldn't need those
wings that were the Pegastol brand. I have the kit I purchased from Doug at
Quality in Cloverdale.
Right now I am in Boca Raton Fl until the end of may. Hopefully I can make
some kind of reasonable offer to the estate.
As you know I offered Howard $6K back in January for the fus and he didn't
want to sell it to me because he didn't want to sell the fus separately.
I hope you are doing well and enjoying flying. I passed my FAA exam for the
Private last week and now am trying to finish my cross countrys before the
final check ride. Boy it takes a long time. Hopefully I will have my
private ticket by the time I return at the end of May.
Take care mister, and thanks again for the update.
