This Blog picks picks up the progress of the building of my Experimental Class homebuilt plane project from Dec. 2011. The Zenith CH750 is designed for short take offs and landings. It will be powered by a Continental C-90 engine that I had completely rebuilt by Dan Martinez, a mechanic in San Antonio with a good reputation for quality work. Fuel capacity will be 30 gallons, which should provide a conservative 4.5 hrs of flight time with 30 minutes to spare.

Tuesday, 3/20/12: Changed out fuel lines to Aeroquip #FC598-06. This is a much tougher abrasion & cut resistant flexible line than the regular auto-fuel hose I had in place. With help from Curtiss Schutzberg of South Texas Aviation, we ran wing wiring, pitot & static lines, radio antenna wiring, push to talk wiring and hardware, & ELT wiring. Curtiss fixed a continuing problem with the carb heat & cabin heat cable linkage which were sticking. 12 hrs.
