Bob's CH750 Build "Father & Son"
When I started to build my CH750 at Can-Zac in Kitchener I never thought of the best part of the project. I got to spend time with my son building the CH750. My son is a Millwright Apprentice who has not lived a home for 6 years... he happened tobe working only 2hrs drive away and spent 3 days/week helping me build the CH750. Its been a while since the twoof us build anything together. The last project was a hangar 10 yrs ago. Building the CH750 with my son "PRICELESS".... I got to eat my cake and icing too !

The tool Rob is using is a battery powered drill (not enough air compressor supply). While the fuselage is upside down, and before bolting in the main gear spring it is real easy to mount the wing strut ends (clamp with vise grip) and drill to mounting bolt size. Once the spring gear is in place there is not enough room to drill this out comfortably. It also makes mounting your wings easier if you only have to drop the lower strut bolts into the holes and the wing weight is supported. Only drill and mount the steel strut ends until you have the final length of the strut determined.
