Big Guys Fit In CH750

Big Guys Fit In CH750

This is Dave Ray. He is 6' - 4" tall and 270 lbs. Dave and I flew 2.5 hrs today in my CH750. Dave does not fit in a Citabria, a Champ, a J3 Cub, a C150, a Evekor Sportstar, a Aerostar Festival. He fits a C172 but only with the front seats staggered for shoulder room. Dave and I (210 lbs)with 30 US Gallons flew with no problems. The CH750 with Rotax 912S climbed 800 fpm at 70 mph with a take off run of 200 ft.

I built my CH750 at Can-Zac in 6 weeks. The centre console, the glass panel, and the interior upholstery  were trick features offered by Can-Zac long before Zenith offered them. Built under Can-Zac's Power Build program my CH750 went to the paint shop in 3 weeks (12 - 14 hr days in the shop). Mark Townsend + Rob (my son) + Ryan (Mark's employee) + myself built the entire fuselage in 18 hrs. While in the paint shop I built the panel.

Hi again Bob:  Good to hear head room etc no issue. 

Did you fab up the console or is it a Zenair option?
