Enthusiasts,
I also attended the Zenith Open House last Saturday and appear in the background
of some of the pictures.
I spoke at length with Caleb about the CH-750, and here is what I put down in my
notes after the fact,
so as you know consider the source, with some items subject to minor changes on
the production model.
* Skins are increased from 0.016 inch to 0.020 inch for oil canning, although
also noted benefit of less hanger rash & dents
* Vne = 125 mph, with manuevering speed at 105 mph, & proto-type cruises 95 mph
* Approach with flaps 48 mph, and without flaps 55 mph, flaps will be electric
* Production model will have streamline aluminum struts, for a cruise increase
of greater than 5mph
* Cockpit (elbow) width with bubble doors will be about 49 inch, seats will be
in-flight adjustable
* Proto-type had VGs on elevator
* Proto-type with 0-200 had 72 inch prop with 10 inch ground clearance
* Fuel capacity is 24 gallons
* Empty weight of proto-type about same as 601XL equipped with same engine (no
specifics given)
* Production model is "expected" to be in flying condition at Oshkosh, significant
challenge with only 5 weeks remaining
* Production model will have best fit & finish ever
* All formed parts will be matched hole at pilot size!
Keep the dirty side down,
Eric

I have a question for those of you that have painted your aircraft. Did you
paint the inside of the fiberglass cowling or just leave it bare?

On my Kitfox I left it unpainted, never had any problems.

Hi Mark,
I found no reason to paint insides of the cowl. Reasons not to are
excess weight, possible need for additions,
flammability (air-cooled engines and exhaust) replacement or repair of
fasteners, condition check of the fiberglass.

Jeff and Larry.
Thanks for your reply. I had thought as much but it never hurts to get
advice.
