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.

Sat. June 2: Installed the wings, struts, and flaperon/ailerons on the plane. Everything fit up well, though it should have since it had all been done before prior to painting. The only thing I was concerned about was the fit of the inboard wing skins where they meet the new skylight, as that was all new work and had not previously been fit up. The fuel lines and electrical connections to the wings also tied in nicely and are now hooked up. Still need to hook up the pitot/static lines and the aileron control linkage.
