Hi Paul

I see you are building a 750 to hows it all going,hope to touch base on your project and to compair notes ,

.

Where are you located in WA, I live in Denmark

Hi Paul - are you the RAAF builder at Nowra? Allan may think I'm scratch building to save money, but actually it's because I'm an amateur aero engineer with a few of my own designs coming together in CAD, X-Plane etc, and I want the scratch building experience for these future projects :-).

I've also got a share in an Archer, 206 and Saratoga at Bankstown so I don't have to finish the project to go flying. I suspect it's going to take the best part of a decade to put this together (we're talking floats, amphibious floats :-) ), but it should be fun.

Cheers,
Robin

Hi Paul,
Welcome to the club.
We are into fall harvest now but in Western Canada it has been a wet and cool summer.
I should let you know that my 750 is finished and I'm enjoying the flying now. You might have seen my plane in the Zenair info, it's the 750 with the wheat and mint leaf motif.
I chose the Rotax 912ULS and so far I'm happy with that choice. I also added an Airmaster constant speed hub with 70" dia.WarpDrive three bladed prop. I felt that with just 100 HP and a 2640' altitude at my airstrip that the constant speed unit might squeeze a bit more performance out of the engine.
I only built parts of my airplane with most of the critical construction done by Mark Townsend ( an experienced Zenith builder) nearly 2000 miles from my home . Regards Lynn

Paul... I liked the roller blade wheel idea myself. I did not look inside to see if there was any backer plates. The first take-off with 2 on board my CH601HD I over rotated (with 2 the load is towards the read of the CofG) and "banged" the tail tie-down on the paved runway...scared the crap out of me as I already airborne. Thinking about rudder horns and cables I did a quick loop and landed to check for damage...none. :>)

Thanks for your reply. I have seen the 750 DVD's and I think they are great. If you could give me a call I will give you contacts that you will find very useful.
