(rayj) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 02:21:01 PM PST US Subject: Zenith750-List: Is building a car seat or jump seat in back possible? From: "Luv2Fly" 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.

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.
