Hi Gary
From your ground running of your engine, how are your temps behaving with your aluminium cooling fence.
Can you share some pictures of your setup?

Hi Gary, that CAA publication is pretty good. I had not stumbled across this before now. I am still tossing up whether to construct a CH-701, CH-750 or even an ICP Savannah. I tend to favour the Zeniths because it appears there is much better factory backup available. The CH-750 has a design MTOW of 600 kg. This means that 56 kg of that design envelope cannot be used under the NZ microlight rules. With the world heading to the 600 kg limit -because of the USA LSA regs- I wonder if NZ will also s-t-r-e-t-c-h the 544 kg microlight limit to 600 kg?

If you were to do it all again, would you have chosen the CH-701 still, even though the 750 is now freely available?

Just wondering: how is the painting of the plane getting along?
