Moving from trial to real project
Posted on September 15, 2012 at 2:44pm 1 Comment 4 Likes
About a year ago, after spending time investigating a number of options for kit aircraft, I decided to get the rudder kit from Zenith via the UK (South) agent Gary Johnson. It took me a long time to build the rudder through being busy with work and other interests, and having to acquire tools along the way. Recently I got to the stage of having the rudder completed and primed except for riveting the skins on; I took it to Gary, in his capacity as Inspector for the Light Aircraft Association…

Hi Lindsay,
No problem if you would like to visit. I don't really count myself as an experienced builder. However. I did build one aircraft some 30 years ago - but work interferes
greatly with one's hobbies!
I am making progress with the 750, however . I have made the rudder, horizontal stabilizer, elevator, trimmer, the four parts of the slats, the four parts of the elevators, and I waiting for Gary to inspect so that I can put the final tops skins on the wings ... so making progress. Sprayed a lot of epoxy, also. Space is a real problem - but I am managing - with parts stored everywhere, including the house and 'structurally finished'
items suspended from the roof of the garage and car port.
Good luck,
Tony O
Hi Lindsay. What stage are you at in your CH750 story? Best regards. Tony Oliver
