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.

Sunday, 4/29: Installed the middle-rear windows and riveted them in place along with the side upright channels. The channels are used as a raceway for the wiring and antennae cables that go to the wings and roof. I added "nutplates" to the center control tunnel top, which will allow me to access the tunnel for inspections later on. The plans do not call for these, but that's what's nice about experimental-class airplanes as you can add what you see fit. Danny added a stripe on the top of the rudder to accent the side stripe on the fuselage.
