using Bluetooth Headset to make Recordings In Flight
Before I spend a grand on a bluetooth headset, I thought I'd ask if anyone has had any experience with this strategy. I am in the beginning of Phase I with my 750 and am trying to determine how to use a voice recorder to document the changes in performance as I change other parameters during flight. The old school method is using paper and pencil to keep notes while doing the flying. It seems to me to be safer if I could figure out how to speak into the mike and record what I need as I fly.…See More

It's been a few years so I do not recall the exact geometry I used. I believe it is different than the VDO sender bends. I ended up making a cardboard mock up of the fuel tanks shape and adjusting the geometry accordingly.
Bill. I mounted the SW senders in the sides of my fuel tanks. I had to come up with the geometry through some trial and error but generally they work fine.
Yes, I did a test on the bench with all my components with everything it relative height positions and again with everything installed in the fuselage. I was concerned about how well the fuel would flow through the electric Facet fuel pump with it not powered, but it was just fine.
Bill, I have an electric fuel pump installed on my Continental O-200A equipped CH750 STOL. I only use it when flying at high angles of attack (during stall maneuvers). Don’t really use it for any other normal flight conditions.
Bill,
I have an O-200 powered 750 with an engine driven fuel pump. Lack of an electric fuel pump has not been an issue.

Bill,
My engine has an engine driven fuel pump and I have an electric back up. I have never neede the electric pump.
Hi Bill -
Joe Reheiser here. I now recall where we were stationed together. You were my first squadron commander, of the 345 TAS at Yokota AB, Japan. Those were great years! I had the good fortune to return to Yokota much later in my career as the 5AF/CV and flew the Herk. They were H models at that time, and they are now converting or have already converted to the J model.
All the best,
Joe
Hi Bill -
Yes, I was in the USAF (31 years) and was a Herk driver. Where were we stationed together?
All the best,
Joe
My name is keith. I am building a 750 cruzer in kenai. I am seeing how many Alaskens would be interested in having a zenith builder/flyers get together. If your are interested I would like to get your input on time and location.
Thanks for your time.

Bill I am here in Wasilla as well. I just purchased the Tail kit and plan to start building next month (assuming the tail kit finally gets here). would like to be able to contact you with questions while building the kit if you don't mind.
