I just saw your plane posted as compleated, congratulations!!! I am also scratch building my 750. looks like you did make a few changes. Any real problems you had along the way? Any changes you made out of necessity? I started mine in june of 2010, so far I have a rudder, rear and front fuselage, and controls. My engine will be Lyc. 0-235 that I'm rebuilding. great to here that it can be done. HAPPY FLYING, Paul
I finished my scratch built 701 in April 09 and enjoying the flying but experiencing bad builder's withdrawal symptoms..... I'm very interested to see how you like the 0200 on the plane. Keep in touch.
I am one of six that are each scratch building 750s. I have to tell you that we (our group) arrogantly thought that we might be the first to finish scratch build a CH750. Finding your post made us realize that we won't even be close... We started the first of March and we have only completed the empanage and have just started on the flapperons.
We agree, the plans could be better. But we are having fun and we look forward to having a capable STOL aircraft.
HI Bill, i would love to come see it. i'm real close to ordering the kit, i see your scratch building. I hadn't considered that option, do you have an idea how much your saving by going that route?
