Now we've covered props for the CH701, how about for the CH750 ?

We've changed out the original Sensenich fixed pitch wooden supplied with the Jabiru 3300, for a Whirlwind GA-J2B 63" ground adjustable. However, it seems hard to get speed or economy. Anyone have some happy experience with the CH750/3300 to share ?

Peter, I'm n Sebring , Florida taking ROTAX courses and will return to Phuket on 7 Feb. Need anything small? Can work out logistics later. www.Lockwood.aero is catalog site.
Hi Peter, thanks for adding me. I really think it's cool you are over in Thailand. I was living over in the Philippines all of 2013. I'm back in the USA now and looking to build my forth aircraft. But for now, I'm designing and entirely new aircraft which will have a wing similar to the 750.
BTW, one of my aircraft which is flying near the Washington DC area has the Viking engine in it.
Hi Peter, I see your aircraft is arleady flyinb but if you need help or training, I can come help you. I live in the USA but love going all over the world helping builders. I have built three Zenith CH-701s and I am an FAA Gold Seal and Master Flight Instructor. I also hold an Airline Transport License both here in the USA and in The Philippines.

At the above address, a '701 look-alike folk' has some thing to say about the leading edge without slat.
Uthai designed his own nose ribs, probably adapted some curve from his Sonex, not even using NACA 650-18. Mine uses NACA 650-18 Mod. ( with extended slat), that is, I keep the full cross section of 710 wing. Doing this, my wings will have more wing area, more lift, reduced drag, with the penalty of losing some STOL capabilities. I expect my VG's (made from aluminum T-bar for cieling) will help regain STOL status. I have made a wing section to try on top of a running car and video tape the test to see the optimum way to install VG's of my design.
Your airplane on My Photo has the most visitors among all my photos, so far. If you show it in yours ( and I will delete it from my side), you are sure to have new friends interested in your white 701.
An electronic man in Lop Buri is working for me so that I can use my old flight helmet and headset with an old ICom nav/com VHF. All from the 70's. I will retrieve my handset from him some time this month. It will be nice if we can get to meet
We met in Hua Hin and I am showing your white 701 in My Photo. Currently I am building new wings with FULL nose ribs, and not just closing the slat back to the wing nose. I have lost my notebook (and cell phone), and figure out that I might meet you here.
