Welcome, Bob Simmons!

They released their first video a couple of years ago and I was watching to see if more would come out. Zenith likes to mention their videos, and even uses some of their footage for the Zenith demo DVD. But now the STOL-Adventures.com site just sa…
The passenger can share fuel costs too.
What graphics program are you using for these? I thought I'd asked that before but I can't find the post now.
I did mine this past December. The tail kit is sitting in my workshop but I don't have electricity in there yet. Getting an electrician around here is not a fast process, probably due to tons of damage by storms that went through here recently. I'm…
Sounds very interesting. I'll wait to see what Dynon comes up with for now, but I might indeed want to see that picture down the road.
Fuming with envy. Grrrrr!
So how come Roger didn't think to bring sunglasses?
Photos from my CH 750 flights.
For those who may not be aware of it yet, Zenith has posted a link on their web site to many hi-res pictures of the CH 750. These look to be the pictures from the KITPLANES magazine photo shoot. At least the pictures in the magazine article come fro…
I might be interested in one of the custom logo versions.
I want to be your first 750 video customer. In the meantime, is there any way for us to download these videos?
Jon looks thinner with the picture stretched out like that. LOL! My wife is getting tired of hearing Jon's voice when I play the videos over and over.
I've been watching the 701 horizontal tail video. Although it's not a 750, it looks like the vide…

Hi-Res CH 750 Pictures
For those who may not be aware of it yet, Zenith has posted a link on their web site to many hi-res pictures of the CH 750. These look to be the pictures from the KITPLANES magazine photo shoot. At least the pictures in the magazine article come from here. The link is below, and it's also on the CH 750 photo page on Zenith's web site.

Bruce Cruikshank said… - It was a comment about having a constant speed prop on a CH 750, which does disqualify for LSA. I miss understood the rest of your comment. Sorry.

- Hi Bob, Back on Jan. 29th you posted a comment that a Experimental amateur built does not qualify for LSA operation. It's my understanding that if the aircraft fits all the parameters it can be operated as an LSA. There is an Ercoupes Cubs and Champs at local airport flying as LSA's why not E-AB's?

Jon Wachman said… - Bob, the aircraft flies really well with VGs. The aircraft really just mushes into the stall, the most noticeable thing is an increase in ROD. No wing drop, with or without flap.
The VGs on the lower elevator are really good. Nose can be held off to a very low speed.

Adel Alyahya said… - Well, I have to say. That's not my own work shop; it is a temporary place at my work "I got permit from the chairman's office :) ;) ", I will be moving to my kit's permanent hangar at the aviation club 40 miles away from home. I’m a member of the Saudi Aviation club in Riyadh. http://www.sac.com.sa/english/
Then the progress of building will be slower than what I’m doing now time, because of the distance.
I'm using the anti corrosion provided by Zenith Co, a liquid water base ...I don't remember its name now. Also I used Rust stop an anti corrosion comes in spray cans with different colors

- Bob,
The foam soundproofing (non-self-adhesive) is part no. SP-500 at Wicks for 12.61/ft. x 48"; and part no. 09-42725 at Aircraft Spruce for $14.50/ft. x 48". The price has gone up a bit. I got it for 9.61/ft. last year. It is fire retardent and heat shielding as well.
