Good afternoon Bob, I checked the registry and it looks like you no longer own the CH 750.
I am based at CYCC Cornwall Regional and own a STOL CH 750 and would like to build skis for it.
I would truly apreciate getting a set of plans for your design. My 750 empty weight is 825 Lbs, Gross 1440 Lbs
Thank you,
JD Houde

Hello Bob!

I would be very interested in your ski design. Is there any way you could reach out to me? I am interested in building a set.

Hi Bob,

I love the wheel penetrating ski design that you did. I'd love to have a set for my 701. Is it possible to purchase the plans from you? My email is mattmclatchy@gmail.com

Thanks!

Hi Bob,

I came across a thread(with pictures) of ski's you made years ago.  They look very nice.  Do you still have the plans for those?  Would you be willing to sell me a copy?  Here's my email, rpf789@gmail.com.  If you could let me know, either way, that would be great.

Thanks Randy

Hi Bob, do you experience any glair or other issues with the strut mounted landing light? I’m thinking of mounting mine there too. 

Thanks,

Hello Bob,

Just noticed another one of your comment on the internet about the Pegazair.  For your info the company still exists and is thriving, their "Pegazair" still performs incredibly and  they now produce a 4 seat version called the "Levitation" with a useful load of around a thousand pounds with 180hp Lycoming.  Just thought I should give you the correct information so you could pass it on correctly.

Cheers, Jules

Hi Bob,

Yeah, I know .... Got the 'PLANE BUG' !!! Really wanted to get my hands on a CH750 but got a deal for the CH701SP and CH750 altogether...Couldn't pass. Will most probably sell the CH701SP project and finish up the CH750.

Couldn't resist any longer !

Take care !

Bob, sorry for the loss of your father. My plane is safe and tucked away until the flock returns to Canada. I do fear that they may bring down an airliner landing at Allentown airport. I am also getting to the age when one should give up flying. As of now I can still handle short strips. You can see my strip on maps or Google earth. 3224 sterner road Nazareth pa. Temos

Bob, I understand you have plans for Rob Nelson's wheel skis. Could let me know how I may obtain a set.

Thank you.  What do you all know about reliability of the UL350is?

Thanks for the phone numbers Bob. I live in Watertown NY and Mark would be my best and nearest bet for help upgrading my 601 HDS. It was built in 2000 and I bought it in 2005. Thanks again.
Regards,
Damien

Hello Bob, thanks for your friend request. Not flying much at the moment the grass strip is a bit waterlogged!!

Bungee Installation Tool - THANK YOU... fantastic solution.  I used a 3/8" drive ratchet with a short cheater bar, a 7/16 socket fits right into the front tube, and all I can say is you are right...

BOB'S Y'ALLS UNCLE!!!  (as we say it in Texas.)

Thanks Bob for the ski plan offer. send to Dave@DleeCo.com   I was just thinking the other day at the first snowfall that it was time to get started on this again.

Hi Bob

I'm weighing my electronic instrument options. The Dynon skyview system is obviously a great set-up but it sure looks like it ends up as an expensive panel by the time it's complete. Also looking at MGL explorer. Is Dynon worth it in the long run for a mostly VFR plane, or is a simpler less costly solution with MGL perfectly adequate? What are your thoughts?

Thanks Gilbert (Bill)
