Sorry it's taken me awhile to get back to you Wayne - no excuses but I haven't been on the forum very much. But just this morning I put 2 posts on the 750SD forum.
I still haven't ordered either the S21 or the CH750SD - I don't have time to build and I'm still trying to find someone who will build it for me at a reasonable price. SkyTek and others like them want an arm and a leg so I keep looking. I'll keep you in the loop as I move forward (I probably should have ordered a kit in August when I started looking but just wasn't educated enough - probably still not educated!)
I am getting a complete 701 and finishing kit. Maybe floats as well it would be nice to meet up . I would also like to see your 701 because I never seen one in person yet just on the internet. And may discuss engine choices.
Thanks Wayne - appreciate the comment. Would be nice to meet some day.
I just joined this forum a few hours ago and not sure how to use it - I assume you saw my comments when I joined?
I hope to sit in a 750 tomorrow - my preference has been a Rans S21 Outbound but delivery is 12-18 months then a lengthy build. I'm 75 now and want to be flying not building.
Thanks. I am new to the home built world... Own a share of a c172 at CYLS but considering buying or maybe building a 650 would consider a partnership as well. Cheers Derrick
Yes I also have a MerlinGT with a 912 UL 80hp but after I have flown the CH 300 the first time I am now selling the merlin - can not fly 2 planes at the same time I guess. Like your 701. Was looking for one and then bumped into the CH 300.
Hi Wayne
I remember you from Edenvale. You were my hangar neighbor from across the row. I see you still have your 701. Hope to see you soon and do some cross country. Cheers Marvin
I’ve flown to UPAC a few times but never been to see Colin. My home base is Grimsby, my private strip is very near Grimsby Airpark. I have sold the Challenger and I’m upgrading the 701 currently but once it’s done I’ll be flying around, I could set my sights on your airport or meet at another for one of those expensive hamburgers.
Hello Wayne, yes looking forward to meeting you as well, I have flown to Edenvale and Collingwood with my Challenger so I’m looking forward to do even more cross country flights with the 701.
I've got a question.. What kind of rubber are you using in your spring clamp?(sandwiched between your spring and fuselage)
I was doing some touch and go's the other day and one side fell out! I'm wondering if I can just cut up an old rubber tire or a black rubber plumbing hose to use as the material (and tie it in with metal wire).
That being said, I'll replace the other side at the same time, so the next question is:
Where did you support your aircraft from when you lifted it?
Cheers
Tom
PS... I dont check this website too often. I do check my home email daily. Could you reply there : thehorselessknights@gmail.com
Thanks for the message. Your aircraft photos look great. Long way to go before I get to that point--one day at a time and my garage may sprout an airplane eventually.

I want to fly it in the ultralight category to start and I think the 750 would be hard to keep the weight down .
I am getting a complete 701 and finishing kit. Maybe floats as well it would be nice to meet up . I would also like to see your 701 because I never seen one in person yet just on the internet. And may discuss engine choices.
Thanks hoping to come in March to get my complete kit

Hello Wayne,
I recently bought a CH250 down here in Southern California. I wonder if you know somebody who owns this plane?
Thank you,

That will be great, I am in the process now looking for a 750 cruzer already built to purchase
Thanks Wayne! Excited to join the zenair community! Looking forward to meeting everyone at fly ins next year :)

Yes, that's right. Did you ever buy that other Zodiac? I think I am going flying today. looks nice out.
