I thought I would send some pictures before setting off to Oshkosh. Hope to see a few of you there.

Awesome! I think I should stay home now from OSH so I can work on my Classic! Great motivation!

HI You'all
.Come to Osh and the Tuesday forum and We can chat.
Looking forward to meeting as many Hatz builders as I can. This can be your best motivation.

Nice! I like how you narrowed up the fuselage so that the Rotec cylinders stick out a bit! Well done!

I'm looking forward to being at that point. I'm still making ribs......

Very, very nice, Steve!

You blended in the Rotec beautifully! What's the level of the thrustline below the upper fuse longeron? Nice surrounding too! Like the long headrest cone!
We wish you get this Hatz built and in the air, but enjoy every minute, it's wothwile! We have now about 75 hours in our Vintage Hatz and plan to attend a few fly-ins this summer. The Rotec runs flowlessly!

All the best and greetings to all Hatzers (hope to make Brodhead and Osh next year)

For someone too impatient to go through the building process NX687HZ is still for sale. Look it up on the For Sale thread.

Hi Hans & Sam - thrust line question. I put it 8.9 inches below centre of the upper longeron, as per the plans I have. (plan revision specific for the Rotec.) It also has extended landing gear. If I had to do it again I would make the gear 2 inches shorter than the plans - depends on the wheels and prop of course.
I have questions for you - what did you arrive at for final prop specification (pitch & diameter)? Also what cruise speed and rpm do you get with it?
