This is Tom & Dave Elvis's CH750 powered by the Jabiru 3300 engine. T&D are a father and son team that thought building a CH750 kit would be a great way of spending time together. This CH750 is registered as an Advance Ultra Light Aircraft (AULA) in Canada (LSA in USA). It features a Dynon D180, ICOM A210, GARMIN GTX 327 MODE C transponder...and a "Whiskey Compass" in the panel. I completed the first test flight of this aircraft for Tom & Dave. Their next father & son project is to learn to fly. Great flying aircraft guys. It case you have not figured it out...this father & son team is also passionate about "Bow Hunting".

My kids are 11 and 14 - and they love popping the rivets.  But there is something about having them involved as well that makes the real experience - they get to see how the decisions are made and get to work with you in a fun way.

Well done guys for the build and your relasionship.

My Son and I are very close also but he is only six and was only able to pop a few rivets. When he grow up I hope to do another aircraft with his assistance just like you guys have done. We also wouldn't mind moving to Canada aswell as it is our favourite country of all we have visited.

 

Happy flying

Phill
