First flight of Mac McCullock's CH750 registered AULA in Canada. Rotax 912S engine. Mac did a days CH750 type training with me prior to 1st flight.

Well, after my first 5 hours flying my XL I can report that this is a fantastic aircraft. It flys hands off with minimal trim, I must have been very lucky setting up the rudder alignment as it tracks straight and true with no rudder input. The Jabiru engine has plenty of power and am working out what to set the adjustable prop at. Currently getting 105kts at 2900 RPM. Am getting a lot of wind noise through the canopy frame so will look at sealing that better. With only 5 hrs so far am…

2013 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, Another Great Year for Zenith

A huge thank you to everyone that came to the Zenith banquet at EAA this year! We had 173 builders from all over the world attend. If you would like to see more pictures of the event and pictures of the Zenith display, you can Facebook me at "Joe Scheibinger", go to my pictures, and…

I have read that there is a modification to the CH750 that replaces the flat plexiglas between the wing roots with an airfoil shape that is suppose to reduce drag and turbulance, and even increase lift.   Does anyone know if there is such a mod for the 701?

Looking at purchasing a CH300TD with a 140HP Lycoming.  Hangar kept.  Hasn't flown in 2.5 years though.

Struggling to find information/expertise on this model.

Appreciate any suggestions on what I should be looking out for and questions other than the obvious I should be asking. I am not a builder.

Thanks

Finished up 40 hours yesterday 7/27/13.

Here is a video taken 4 July 2013.

I have 95% decided that the CH750 will be what I am going to build.  I should be ordering plans in the next few days and planning out my tools, etc from there.  I have a set of CH701 plans (had them for  while) and my original idea was to build a 701 with some mods to make it more like a CH750 but I believe the best path forward is to just build a 750.  While I do not need the "extreme STOL" capabilities, I would like to retain good STOL performance in trade for some increase in cruise.  I…

I cut my first form blocks and cutting blocks from some scrap plywood. I borrowed an 18v cordless jigsaw and cut them last night (in my room- I'm sure my room mate loved that, but I swept all the sawdust). Then over lunch today I took the rough cut parts to a tent that has a disc sander and finished them up. I'll have to duplicate them with a flush trim router bit when I get home, but that is easy enough. I may even rough cut their mates here so I can flush trim them when I have access to my…

I found a tent with some wood working tools and made friends with those who own it. I took my patterns and have glued them to some scraps of plywood. I'll cut them out with a jig saw, then sand them on their sander. 

We're nearly ready for our next big adventure at "AirVenture!  We hope you can join us!

Here is a summary of some of the planned Zenith activities. 

Zenith Builder Dinner and…

What speed those of you with a 0-200 get at cruise

Zenith Aircraft Co. will host its second “Engine Day” at the company’s exhibit at AirVenture in Oshkosh on Thursday, August 1 from 10 am to 2 pm. The company will have a number of Zenith aircraft with different installed engines on display, as well as representatives from a number of engine manufacturers.

In 2012, Zenith hosted its first “Engine Day” at Oshkosh, with a handful of different powerplants and their representatives on hand. “We didn’t know what the response would be,” said…

Our China dealer is looking for a few pilots. All paid trip with spending money and you have a fun time flying.

I haven't been able to work on my project in better than 3 months, life sometimes life just gets in the way.  I gave up trying to make a plug to mold to my wing tip with no success (some things I guess I just can't do).   I purchased the tip from Zenith and cut it down to use only the forward portion and I am very pleased with the fit.  I was a little worried that being plans built skins I may have some major working to do but I didn't.

Rookie question but would like some clarification before proceeding. My plans are Edition 2 Revision 1. I am drafting a form mold on paper before transferring it to wood. On the Wing Nose Rib (75W1-1) drawing, I am assuming the R53 radii measurement is from the tooling hole (190,32) and I have drawn it accordingly. On the plans, however, there is also a spot above and to the right of the tooling hold at x=175mm. Is there a significance to this 175mm mark that I am overlooking? Thanks for…

Exciting times in the New Zealand home of EquiAvia!

I moved my aircraft Project into my new hanger and building has resumed with a feverish intensity!

I am documenting my build using my iPad mini and the app we created. With over 250 users so far, the app is gaining…
