CH701 & CH750 Wheel Skis

I heard a rumour that Zenair was going to release plans / kits for wheel skis to fit the CH701 & CH750 model aircraft. I thought it would be a wonderful early Christmas present (project) for the model owners from Zenith (Chris Hientz). O.K. I will admit to starting the rumour ! I saw a wonderful looking set on a CH701 owned by Rob Nelson on the completions section of the Zenair web site. Winter comes early here in Canada and wheel skis would be a ray of sunshine in my part of the Zenith world.

    Bob nice rumor!

    I just bet Zeinith or one of thier partners might see a business opportunity in supplying plans or even a kit if there is sufficient demand. It does cost them time and money to develop and test so there would have to be enoughs demand to cover the development and more...

    I would certainly buy a set of complete ski plans for up to say $200. i'd also be interested in plans for a belly pod.

    Actually Zenith could go further than the plans option and offer a "kit" ready to assemble like the floats they build.
    The builder gets quality parts and an enjoyable project to complete while he waits for the lakes to freeze solid and the snows of winter to arrive.
