I will definitely be operating from a grass strip, but I do see where larger wheel mods would be easy enough. I like the wheel pants but I could use larger ones if I use larger tires.

<p>Totally different wing with a thinner airfoil and only has a single strut and no jury struts, so the internal structure is different, too. The tail is totally different and more conventional. This is not a STOL airplane. I believe Sebastien said the fuselage <em>is</em> very similar to the STOL 750's.</p>

Does anyone know if the Cruzer is using a different airfoil from the CH750? I know the slats are not used, but wondering if the airfoil was modified any?

<p>One consideration on Cruzer vs STOL 750 will be whether you're operating off turf or not. The Cruzer wont be very happy on turf with those small tires and wheel fairings. However, it probably would be no problem to up-size the Cruzer to 6 inch wheels, 600 tires, and delete the fairings. If you truly want some STOL capability, then a STOL 750 slatless with VG's would be a good compromise.</p>

<p>I'm with Vincent Demers -- you are describing the new Cruzer variant of the 750 as what you want. Just build a Cruzer rather than re-engineering the 750. It is basically a 750 with the mods you described, but it has been done by the factory and debugged for you, no need to re-invent the wheel.</p>

<p>If you don't need the extreme STOL capabilities and need more cruise speed, why don't you go for the new cruzer? I think it's exactly what you need.....</p>

<blockquote><em>Engine choices will have some small effect on cruise, and I have not made an engine choice yet.</em></blockquote>
<p>Engine choice will have a very small effect on cruise. With the high-drag airframe, you'll "hit the wall" somewhere between 80-90 mph and more hp will result in little increase. You're on the right track with going slatless if you don't need extreme STOL capability - that'll probably give you a 10% cruise increase "for free!" There's not much of a trade-off, the…</p>

I cruise 93-95 mph. Rotax 912S 100 hp engine. The CH750 is easy & fast to build as a kit. Much larger than the CH701.

<p>I have seen 2 750's in person and both people said they cruise now where near the published speed. 85MPH was what they said they were getting. I think if you ask around here you will find this to be true. Good luck with your build.</p>
