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.

Friday, Sat. & Sunday, 4/13-14-15/12: Primer painted the fuselage. All priming is now complete. Bought my paint for the finish coats. Built the seat pans. Fitted up to seat supports in cabin and installed nut plates to hold them in place. Completed all final wiring issues under the seats and routing to instrument panel. I am now ready to do the final riveting of the seat supports and close that area up for the last time. I got to sit in the cabin for the first time today, and it is very roomy. Felt really good to actually sit in this plane after 2 yrs. and 5 months of building! 20 hrs.
