Thomas,

Please let me know how your 750 flies with the 0-235. STOL performance? Total Weight?

I would like to use the 0-235 I had in my Longeze, but I need to make the LSA weight limit and only have 1000 feet of runway.

Thank You ,

Jack Martin

Thomas:

I understand that you are using a Lycoming IO-233 for your 750. I have been in the throes of deciding on the UL350IS or the 233. I prefer to buy American for a number of reasons.

I would appreciate any information you might pass on to me regarding firewall fireward components, particularilly about sourcing an engine mount, cowling, and propeller.

Thanks for your time.

Tom How is your 750 comming along. I ordered the cowling and engine mount from Zenith, Mexico but is back ordered untill march. Tried to contact Zenith Canada but they don't answer. Added a hand brake in the meantime.  A question: the pedal connected front wheel stearing rotates on a bearing pad that is not flat but angles up on the front and back which when when air born is forced into the bearing by the bungy chord. This causes a great deal of foot load to opperate the rudder in the air and tends to return the rudder to neutral. When on the ground the engine weight most likely will streach the bungy so that the force on the bearing is zero. For what purpose is shaped bearing pad? I have it in mind to mill it flat.

Thomas, I haven't rebuilt the 0-235 yet just a tear down and inspection. looks like all I will need is main, rod bearings, send out cyl's for bore and new pistons w/ rings. the cam and lifters will need to be replaced (rusted same as tops of cylinders).

I've called and checked on prices only so far.

Thomas, your pic, remind me of where I was. Had it all put together, wings, stabalizer, elevator and rudder all to specks, than took it apart to paint. Finished painting, not a good job, and put it back together except for the wings since I need to trailer it to the local field. Engine due end of Feb. In the mean time toughing up on odds and ends. Have you run the cableing yet? Tested the rudder movement? After installing the break lines I modified them to add a hydraulic parking break.Have you ordered your engine? Looks like a 90 day lag.

I think you will be flying your 750 before I really get a good start on mine. I bought the rear fuselage parts and some other parts. Wanted to get my garage built before jumping into the 750. Have garage under roof and plan on a nice workshop in it for the plane. bought a 172 and took lessons in it. got to solo and fly around some. good days and bad. decided to sell it and build a garage and a ch750. Using a Lyc.0-235. someday........
