Conrad, are you willing to sell the Datum ski setup and if so could you send me a friend request so we can talk? Thanks!

David thanks for inquiring but I can not sell the skiis until I sell my plane. Currently they are on cgcuu ready for winter flying.
I do recommend the Datum skiis.

I don't need them for this winter but if you have them available after selling the plane, please keep me mind!
Good luck with selling, I love that paint job

David, I will keep you in mind, but feel free to inquire again in a few months, if you wish.
I gather that you live near Bangor Maine. You may be close enough to Trois Rivière to do a site visit with Jean Marc, ( he is very good natured and a capable designer and builder of the Datum skis ), perhaps a good reason to visit Quebec City.
Best regards, Conrad

Probably will fly up once I get out of test flight phase and see about rigging and purchase cost. It is not too far away drive if I get a chance this fall to visit. Thanks for the suggestion and name. Cheers!

Very nice 750!  You have put a huge amount of work into it. I have been watching your plane for a long time and don't understand why no one has scooped it up. It would sure look nice here in Smithers, BC but sadly a bit out of my budget as I have to build my airstrip first. If it is still around next year then maybe..... For your sake I hope it sells quickly for you.

Best of Luck and blue skies!

Thanks Chuck, I have had quite a number of requests for info... mostly farmers in the States. I think there is some hesitancy with crossing the border. It is in excellent condition, flies well and I am fussy with any snags. It is well balanced and enjoyable to fly.

I have dropped the price to $60000usd
Who knows?
My next flight was to be to the Yukon this May /June, but, I had a few extra family snags come up that made it unworkable.
Good luck with your strip and getting into the air.

Thanks for the reply Conrad,

You'd think with the dollar being the way it is, those farmers would be all over it.

If you ever do get out this way, do consider stopping into Smithers. It is a WAY more beautiful route then the Alaska Highway. I used to fly the North for a living and there is nothing like this corridor from Smithers to the Yukon. Maybe the strip will be ready by then so let me know. Just PM me and I'll give you an contact info if you are interested.

Regards,

Chuck Braun

Chuck, I was just looking at foreflight. Looks like Smithers to Hazelton to Bob Quinn- 2hr,Dease lake-2h, Watson lake - 1.5 hr. I will keep this route in mind and contact you on the way through.
Most likely I would travel north on the Alaska highway and return South through Bob Quinn Smithers en route to Vernon/ Rotax on the way back.
The solo cross country to Vancouver Island return to Ottawa was a tremendous adventure.
Now is the time.

Great idea. Save the best for last.Be a bit generous with your time. Its a bit wiggly thru the pass that follows the road. I would normally do that Smithers-Hazelton-BobQuinn leg in about 1.4 hr in the C206 at 125knots. I'm not sure what your machine trues out at but I'm guessing about 75Knots at cruise? Anyway, you can do the math. There are no straight lines here. Always an adventure to see what's around the next corner. Your machine is made for this country. Good for you for making the trip. Do plan on stopping in Smithers.  There is another fella here with a 701 and a private strip at the NW end of YYD.

We would both love to meet you. We can arrange accommodations as well if you like.

Keep in touch,

CB

Hi Conrad, just following up with you to see if you've sold your CH750 and if the datum skis might be available.  It's that time of year and though still in my Phase I test phase, I am starting to look around for skis and/or go visit Datum in Quebec.

Cheers! and Best Wishes for the Holidays and New year...Dave
