I'm building a 750 and this allows me to buy parts as needed. The 701 elevator has a different TE, so you'd need to fab your own internal trim tab to match. Not really hard to do.

The 750's trim ta ...

I just ordered one from Shirley! Razz

The part is really complex and is not very expensive to buy.

Hang in there guys. I've been on the list since day one and they are probably just chewing through the backlog.

I'll post my first impressions once I get them in my hands.

I'm really interested ...

I received a note from Shirley at Zenith today informing me that they are charging my CC and that my plans are on the way.

Woo-hoo!! Very Happy

It's way down the road for me, just wanted to make sure that there was a little rework as possible when the time comes.

I've got plenty of time...

Thanks,

Mark - Any suggested mods for those of us wanting to install floats later?

Thanks,

Dave - There are several resources for Corvair information. I'd suggest joining the Corvair list that you can join here: corvaircraft-join@mylist.net

There is the "Corvair Authority" Will ...

Just wanted to start a topic for those of us going this way.

I'm waiting on my plans and am off to CC #13 in January to start my engine assembly.

I've decided to switch over from my 110% 701 to ...

Bob - I'm a former toolbelt guy who's been flying a desk for 15+ years now. To say that I miss the pride in creating something from nearly nothing (or at least raw materials) is an understatement.

I'll try again.

The prototype was sporting StolSpeed "Feathers" on the elevator this summer and it seemed to be working well with them on the flights I witnessed (no rides were given back then). Sad

I'm ...

New Elevator -

I see the 750 has a new elevator since Osh Kosh. Did you ask them about this? It had a fairly large trim tab added in the original photos and when I saw the prototype in June.

I ...

The only "documentation" that I know of is the official CH750 plans. My changes are a one-off and not something that I'll share with anyone. My plane, my a$$ on the line, no one else's...

Walt - I'm here but check in infrequently. Too much "opionizing" going on here lately...

I'll drop you line.

Ken - Chris Heintz did not specifically put any "requirements" on me. I spent considerable time reviewing the STOL designs and proposing 2 pages of changes based upon what I saw in the 801 ...

John - I also spotted these at the Hangar day event in June. Glad to see that your efforts are starting to pay off with the factory. Smile

I wonder if they will try them on a set of wings in the no ...

I'll jump into this since I've been dealing with this debate for some time - as a Chris H. - approved builder of a 110% 701 that's designed to 1320# and for Corvair power.

I've also ordered the 750 ...

I heard Sebastian say that it can be built as a 1320# LSA or up to #1450 as an Experimental Amateur built.

They had no posted spec's yet, but I don't expect much if any improvements on speed, thou ...

They had nothing posted other than they were shooting for 800# empty weight on the production model.

It's about 43" wide at the rear of the doors and appears in general to be about 10% larger ...

Alberto - The plane will definitely be available as a kit according to Caleb at Zenith - who is working the design. I could not get a firm answer on plans or even the timing of kit production.

They ...
