What I am going to try to do here is generate a list of images of drawings I created in AutoCAD. All the major parts have been laid out for the CH-750 on 4 x 12 sheets representative of the 6061-T6 material needed to scratch build the 750. Most of the parts have been re-drawn from the 750 drawings and some of the more complicated parts have been represented as blocks on the sheets large enough for those parts such as the Cabin Side which is complicated but can be represented by a simple…

On Friday Morning February 11, 2011 at about 7:15 AM I took off for the first time in N949TF from St. Louis Downtown Airport (KCPS) using runway 12R. My intent was to do a fast taxi, liftoff and touchdown and then go back for the actual takeoff. Had a light tail/crosswind and when I lifted of I was uncomfortable with the drift and just firewalled it and climbed out. Flew for between 45 min and an hour and the first landing was very nice. I will post photos and the landing video. Notice…

In West Africa light aviation is still massively under-utilised, yet in great need. So, with the harmattan dust restricting our flight movements, and with Detective Erin Nolan from the NYPD on a visit, we took to the road to check out the airfields we hoped to 'stimulate' either back to use or to improve. We scored 2/3 and get some very interesting tales to tell.…

On RWY36 at KBRL, 30yards from taxiway A2, a Cummingham Model 1 biplane struck the rear of my 601XL-B during landing and roll out. The PIC of the biplane came straight in one hour before dark on a ferry flight. The biplane was w/o radio and lights. After entering the pattern, calling my positions &…
