Panel Powered Up in the CH 750!

Finished connecting the batteries and solenoids. Pulled all of the circuit breakers, checked for shorts and found none. Started pushing in the circuit breakers and it was beautiful.

Where can you buy ITT Cannon Sure-Seal Connectors?  The UL Power EMS has several of these connectors..  The RS-232 to EFIS/ULREAD needs a 120-8551-101 three pin female connector.  The CANBUS interface needs  a 120-8552-101 three pin male connector.I've been able to find the ITT Cannon catalog, but where to buy one male, and one female connector is a bit challenging.   The factory solution appears to be part numbers E080303 for canbus and E080305 for RS-232.  53 Euro each.Do you even need…See More

800 x 6.00 Nose Wheel Fork

I'm using 800 x 6.00 Air Track tires on my airplane. A 800 x 6.00 tire doesn't fit into standard curved nose wheel fork. I was pleasantly surprised to found out that Zenith has a larger version that fits this tire. I also have a Skytek radius mount…

ECU data output with AUX box

The ULPower installation manual discusses the engine option called an AUX Box.  Are any Zenith flyers out there using this option?   ULPower says they can interface their ECU to the Garmin 3X touch system via the GAE-24.  Do we have any users of this here?See More

Nose Gear Polished and Plated

I removed most of the mill finish myself on a scotch bright wheel. Then took my nose wheel to AAA Metal Polishing to get the lower half extra nice. Twin Cities Plating then applied 0.0006" of high phosphorus electroless nickel plating.

Good afternoon from Champlin Timothy!

Looks like your project’s really coming along. Are you plans only building? I just started my Cruzer in June. I’ve had a reduced work schedule with COVID so had plenty of time but I’m back at work now missing my shop time. 

Hope you’re enjoying this crazy weather. Jeff

Hi Tim,

Ok, Thanks for the comment on the nose rib. I have erased the SLATS from my builds also; too complicated for the gain they provided. Instead, I use the Vortex Generators (VGs) on the main wing of my actual CH701sp and saw an increase in top speed (8mph) and a better glide also... My CH701 is still very much STOOL...

Regards,

Norm

Hi Tim,

I've got the CH750 edition 2 plans and dont seem to have the same wing nose ribs as yours ... Are your plans edition 3 ? Are the wing nose ribs longer nowadays ? 

Nice work !

Regards,

Norm

Hi Tim,
Very true; the CH750 has beefier attachments for the wing/struts and stab.
Come to think of it, wouldn't you want that anyway ???

As for the wing/stab trailing edges bucked rivets; they don't add any
strenght to either the wing or stab. It would look real dumb to install
pulled rivets in those locations anyhow. Bucked rivets look better is
the only purpose there...

Once again here my comment is that trying to make those trailing edges
(wing and stab) STRAiGHT is next to IMPOSSIBLE and, believe me, I tried
and tried and tried. The 750 uses an aluminum sheet bent('V') to make up the
trailing edges of the wing/stab. This makes them straight and true.
Requires a bending brake mind you.

So, my general comment still holds : why not construct the CH701 wing using
the CH750 techniques and why Zenair hasn't revisited those 701 plans yet ???

Timothy, if you want to see what I was trying to convey with recently posted pics you can open each photo. great Idea, lost in translation.

>i got it at lowe's i had some from another project and it worked really good.   it's self etching but it is really expensive  one rattle can does not go very far.  I am going to paint it myself but it will be a two part epoxy, this was just simpler to use.

Hi Tim:  

Thanks for the friend request.  Am really impressed with your better than factory build.  What a passion you have for detail.

Nothing final on the nose section yet for the wing.  As I get closer to cutting metal my plans become more moderate.  The Sportsman cuff profile will be close to what I go with.  I have built the ribs and have the metal for the spars and expect to be well into the wings by late summer. Too many other, non airplane issues to deal with. The build is as much therapy as anything else at this stage.

I am very pleased with accounts by other builders who have ditched the slats and went with a more conventional wing with vg's. The experimental aspect within reason is providing myself a lot of satisfaction. Other builders such as Armand Lambert, Mark Maltais and Chumphol Surinavin have been an inspiration for me to mention only three.

Cheers       Brian
