is the SAME!
" I wonder if the tail section from a 701 would fit a 750, or if I
could get any
trade in value from my 701 plans [Laughing] "
The CH-750 is 0.020", and the CH-701 0.016", I'm assuming that is
for all sheet-metal on the air-frame.
I'm glad they beefed it up, I always thought 16-thou was like tin-
foil.
My guess is not much will map back & forth ( 701<!=>750).
Note also the width of the mains on the CH-750 is narrower, I
wonder if they beefed the springs? Or just reduced the fulcrum? They
say they improved the landing gear for the additional weight. BUT
WHAT DID THEY DO? It's really not fun guessing, and reverse
engineering. Is this obfuscation just to slow down the competition?
Or confuse the FAA?
All marketing glad to see a CH-701 class airplane finally able to
carry a USA aircraft engine, that you don't have to hand-prop.
This will open up a whole new market for zenith. With the dollar
going down, the rotax will just keep going up.
I really wish we didn't have to 'guess' these things, that zenith
would just answer questions, and publish engineering data to customers.
I would like to see the glide speed with no-engine on the CH-750,
with the wider wing's it should be interesting to note the difference
in glide-speed and glide-ratio, compared to the ch-701.
I see a lot of 'frankenstein' 701's around, I think the 750 will be
targeted towards the money as no-object market, where a guy wants a
real airplane. It's clear the 750 will be 50% premium for the
addition +4-thou sheet-metal, and standard bubble doors. I think the
701 market will go the younger hobby poor crowd, and the 750 will go
to the builder-assist retirement crowd. Makes perfect sense, one
group wants rock solid reliability, and the other just wants to fly
and have fun.
Vans 'builder-assist' folks are charging up to $1200/day to assist, I
think that the ch-750 is a door into to that world like the RV-12.
It's good to see so many scratch builders in this forum, the growth
market in this business is 60+ retirement crowd that is more than
willing to spend $60k or more. The RV-12 will cost more than the
RV-9, so these LSA's may be light, but they're not cheaper.
One reason I like the zenith crowd is they're regular people, I hope
the intro into this market doesn't start making snob's out of CH owners.
I JUST GOT A CONFIRM FROM ZENITH, THE RUDDER FOR THE 750&701 is the
same.

Guys,
Here is a link to some 801 landings my buddy made. These are his very first in
an 801. Lucky for me he did a pretty good job. The 2nd video to last had a
8.5 pucker factor for me filming and him landing. All in all not very bad for
a first try.

Wow talk about cut and paste! :)
Like I said in the rest of my post, maybe its just marketing. I'll ask about the
tail section though. And don't forget, the really penny pinching of us.... me,
will still opt for the 701 with the SVS1300 for GPH alone. I do really like
the cabin, but I'd rather have have a 701HD.
