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.

Brad DeMeo said… - P.S., the thickness I have is 1/2", not 1 inch, and is plenty thick.

- 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.

- Hi, Bob. I ordered the soundproofing at Cheif Aircraft. It is 1 inch thick. $37.00 USD for 5 feet by 6 feet. It was more than adequate for the entire area behind and below the panel. I cut some rough patterns on thick butcher paper before cutting the actual material. When I get home tonight I will look up the part number and send it to you. It really made a difference reducing the cabin noise.

Jake Reyna said… - Bob, I didn't actually skim the entire manual until this morning. I didn't get to the end and the section on engine cooling, airflow through the cowl, etc. It's a much improved resource.

Jon Croke said… - Hi Bob,
Yes, I think it would be reasonable to strengthen that baggage floor with some additional angles and maybe thicker floor bottom skin. I have no design background so you wouldn't want to take advice from me on something like that! But I know a lot of the folks that hang around this website are well qualified to make suggestions on this topic.

Stephen R. Smith said… - Hello Bob,
That's right. Coming down from the north, I was at about 10,000 feet and had just buzzed past Mt Rose. I was 10 miles east of the Truckee airport. I could see Reno off to the left.

- Oops. I accidentally added my response to your page. I gotta get used to this place.
Sounds great! I'd definitely like to talk about those Young's landings. Maybe we could arrange an unofficial Zenith fly-in there someday. Delete Comment
