::UPDATE:: (FEB2013) Now working for the Army at Ft. Leavenworth living in KCMO. I can't wait to get to know some Zenith builders in the area.

US Army CH-47 pilot. I have been stationed overseas and in consistent deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan since 2002. I have not yet had the opportunity to get back to the US, buy a house with a garage, and start building. Until such time I must live my airplane-building dreams vicariously through all of you. I originally had intended on building a CH-640, for which I purchased the plans. I have now decided to start off with an easier project; the CH-750--I purchased my CH750 plans at Sun-N-Fun 2009.

    Well done! I like your designs. It shows how much better simple lines with nice color choices an be. I abhor an all white airplane.

    I've been thinking of a law enforcement or hunting theme but am open to ideas. Your help would certainly be appreciated as it looks like you have "the eye." I thought of an exception to my white plane comment. Mr.Mulligan is so cool it can make all white look good.

    James,
    sorry it took so long, I'm still new to this whole internet deal. :)
    Grunts take a little longer in the learning curve. :)
    NICE color schemes!
    Good eye.

    Hey James,
    How about some WWII paint schemes :0
    Like maybe a 701 with the flying tiger mouth...
    Or a 601 with a P-51 paint scheme?...
    There is that one 601, "lil bruiser"; she looks good.
    Sorry, I spaced the owners name but its a corvair powered 601.

    I'm glad there's someone out there willing to share the creativity. Fantastic paint design ideas!! Of course now I have to narrow it down from the 25+ that I like.......

    James, just having my plane finished (750) at Can Zac in Kitchener. The fellows there said touch base with you to see what you could come up with for a white plane with dark blue accents

    Thanks

    Hello James, thanks for the friend request. I like your artwork. I am planning on red, white and some other color maybe gold. Something along the lines of number 16.

    Thanks for the mock-up...-:)
    I like the rivet touch!! looks more real. I will try to add a Round Rotec engine.
    I took the dimensions on the FWF of the CH750 and the Rorec2800. The round cowling will have to be bigger than the standard cowlings by about 2 inches on the diametre. Should look real nice ....I hope..
    I really like the ligthening up of the green on the wing tips... great job. i wasn't sure myself about the wing tips being green ..
    We sure are having fun with our planes!!

    The aircraft is my own design and build called the Kingfisher. It is a 2 seat aircraft with a Jabiru 6 cylinder engine. It cruises at 1309 Kts and lands at 38 kts with full flap.
