Sooo... my EAA chapter's youth build program is doing great. We're ready to order the fuselage kit (2 wings nearly completed), and someone just said they heard (not fully vetted yet) Zenith is so busy and backed up on production that they may not be able to get us a kit for a while... like until the Raptor completes its engine reliability testing, or Bede delivers the last BD-5 engine, or world peace breaks out or something (8 months).
So we're looking to see if anyone has a fuselage kit for a Zenith 750 Cruzer that they'd sell, donate, swap for stuff, or otherwise let us get our grubby hands onto.
My motivation for groveling like this is that we've built up some momentum and interest, and if we all of a sudden say "OK kids and parents, check back with us in Spring 2023 when we can start building again" we'll lose a lot of our participants, momentum, etc.
