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, 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.

That is good to hear Bob, I am kinda big too.  Bob, have you ever flown in a Chinook Plus 2 with the Rotax 912?  It looks like it would also be a good big boy aircraft.  If you could get a like new 912 Chinook for1/2 to 2/3 the price of an 750 would you do it?

Impressive, that should calm my buddy down, he's only 230 but thinks two heavy guys on board with full fuel might be a problem!! Is the take off run on a grass runway to boot?
