Russians left over 30 bullets in my hangar, before they pulled the door with BTR. It looks like they tried to start the airplane with prop covers on. Luckily they left it alone with no damage. They took lots of tools, ATV, car, tv and pillows from our cottage. But they showed no interest in aviation souvenirs to bring back to Siberia.      …

This is very funny.  Y'all need to be sitting down.  

ON A WING AND A PRAYER…

Hello folks,

I have found a supplier in Surrey, B.C. willing to help source the aluminum. Metal Mart in Port Kells may be a key ally in the hunt for sheet goods. For contact info, feel free to email me here.

I don't know if it has already been done before but I am compiling a spreadsheet takeoff of all the aluminum (and steel) required for the construction of the 750 STOL. I can't guarantee its accuracy other than to say I will be ordering from this.

I am also using a…

Has anybody put a variable pitch prop on a ch601 hds, I am thinking of a Woodcomp SR3000, but I would like to know if anybody has already done it. What improvements were there ? How did it effect the C of G, anybody in the UK done it and passed it with the LAA. Any help appreciated.

Hello all,

So plans should arrive this week for a STOL 750. My son and I have made a family pact to build this aircraft over the next 5 or 6 years while he goes through air cadets. The finished craft will be his reward for getting his PPL.

We are both very excited to scratch build and kit build as the finances allow. I'm a shipwright and a journeyman carpenter with a lifetime experience in fabrication in composites, metals and wood. I'm hoping that some skills will benefit an…

Just ordered a 750 SD kit.  Delivery May-June 23.  We have received the tail section to get started.  Looking for ideas on building a shop table, size, material, leveling, etc.  Any guidance you can give will be appreciated.  We are a father(Jimmy)/son(Ben) team with no building experience, however, Ben is an A&P and a former IA.  Looking forward to getting started.

I just purchase a Zenith CH 750 STOL and most everything the builder did was first class, except the gap at the corners of the windshield.  Is there a fitted seal available for this area?  See the attached photo.

I decided to create a mockup of the instrument panel.  I ended up needing to order the optional drawings to fabricate the center console mockup.  I would recommend getting these when you order the base plans as there are a few things in the optional plans that aren't quite so optional.

I set up the mockup with a center-mounted tiller control…

FAA Medical

This is my story:

Five years ago I had the Mitro valve in my heart repaired (not replaced, repaired).

According to the FAA regulation this is not an issue that would exclude you from receiving a third class medical clearance BUT.

This is the series of events that have taken place that I have had to deal with!

26 months ago I started flight school, and filled out the required forms for a third class medical. I…
