Here's a summary of my three days with the EAA One Week Wonder airplane in central Florida earlier this week.
On Wednesday, we flew by the shortest paved runway (a nice R/C field, just a few hundred feet long) and later that night I had the chance to fly over the longest runway I'd ever seen (NASA's shuttle landing runway at Kennedy Space Center, three miles long!).…Continue

I'm building a CH 750 on Zenith 1450A amphibious floats. Completed so far are everything except the fuselage and fuselage-related components. (Why I built the floats before completing the plane is another story for another time....) At Oshkosh this summer…

After watching and admiring Chris Heintz and his practical designs for many years, I finally decided I could either keep waiting for the rest of my life or actually get off my fanny and make a decision. After a few sleepless nights, I finally ordered my CH 750 quick-build kit on September 30, 2013. Needless to say, my nights have been filled with flying dreams ever since. As they say, "The adventure begins".

Last week, I took a few days off from work and went on my first X/C trip of any substance in N75ZX. I left Angleton TX on Thursday morning and landed in Corsicana TX to meet up with Ed Poteet, another 750 builder. Ed took me to get a hamburger and we returned to (CRS) in time to take him up around the pattern in my 750. I think he enjoyed it, and he mentioned that's what he needed to get moving on his project again.…

This weekend we officially moved into the hangar with the transport of the wings and tail out of the garage. I am fortunate to have brother-in-laws with access to trailers and trucks; I don't think I would have gotten very far with just my MINI Cooper.
The original plan had been to move the wings out of the wing stand as I didn't trust it to stay together from the road vibrations but my brother in law told me to have a little faith in my work and so they were loaded in the…

Here's an update on our original STOL CH 750 Factory Demonstrator airplane, N750ZZ. This is the airplane that was flipped over in the Sun'n Fun "tornado" last year.
First, let's review briefly: This was the Zenith booth right after the tornado passed through at Sun'n Fun 2011 on March 31. Even though this looks like a war zone, we thank God that no one was physically injured:…

It is hard to believe that it is nearly one month since the annual pilgrimage of the faithful came to an end. We are all back in Ghana, and busy getting ready to start 4 more girls from the bushlands on a 4 year programme of learning to fly, build and maintain aircraft, run an airfield and use a computer...as well as drive a tractor and a truck! …

Getting ready for summer (and the hot muggy weather that we've come to expect in central Missouri), we decided to remove the doors of our STOL CH 750 once again.
We decided to add air deflectors along the front of the cabin / door frame to maximize comfort with the doors off. Air (or wind) deflectors are common on European cars - where many folks drive around with their windows open (many cars there are not equipped…
