| Subject: | Is building a car seat or jump seat in back possible? |
Hi all
I've been searching everywhere for an answer to this one. I have been researching
for a long time, and have nearly made a decision on starting to build, with
the CH750 ranking the highest. What I'm struggling with between this and the
Murphy Elite is the seating (and that I live 20 minutes away from Murphy...).
I have a small child and another on the way, and would love to have them both
grow up flying. Mom isn't keen on flying, so it will be just the 3 of us.
I don't want a larger plane with big engines/big prices.
Has anyone heard of or seen a side facing jump seat in the back of the 750? Or
is it feasible to secure tethers to the structure to lock in a car seat? I will
build as experimental, and utilize the increase gross weight rating.
If it hasn't been done, the next option would be to try and discuss with Zenith.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

I haven't done what you are asking about. I imagine as long as the CG
isn't an issue it could be done.
I spoke with Zenith about a different type of modification and they were
very helpful. I plan to build a 750, partly because I like STOL and
partly because of the help they provided in answering my questions.
Email them with your proposed modification, I think they will be glad to
answer any questions, with the usual disclaimers.
