Super Duty Landing Light Install

I ordered the landing light kit for the 750 and started looking for instructions on how to install it. I found a few examples of what the final product looked like but nothing like what I needed as a VERY armature builder. Well, I decided to tackle the project and I figured I'd pass along what I did in case it might help someone else.The first thing I found is that either I build the slat wrong or the SD slat is different than the 750 STOL. I say this because the pictures and instructions I…See More

Morning Colin

The kit for the fuselage for my CH750SD will arrive next week.  Although I've been flying since 1982, I'm a farm boy and know my way around a John Deere, I've never build an aircraft and I have to admit it's intimidating. 

Your photos etc. are excellent and if you don't mind I'd like to keep in touch (not sure how all  these blocks etc. work)

Cheers

Bob

Welcome Colin! I'm also starting a 750 STOL in about a month. I grew up an AF brat , my father retired as a 'full bird' , he was also a navigator \ flgt. Cmdr.  I live on 50 acres in SE Ohio and plan on flying from my grass. Looking forward to the build and possibly comparing notes with other builders. Good luck on your project.... Blue Skies!
