About The Project:

The airplane is a home-built, scratch-built Zenith CH 750 STOL. Building from plans/blueprints is a challenging way to build an airplane, since most of the parts you use to build it are not prefabricated. I chose the Zenith CH 750 STOL for its rugged design, its STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) characteristics and its aluminum construction. Zenith Aircraft Company has designed this airplane so that it can be built from scratch or from a kit by the average person. They provide excellent technical support for both kit and scratch builders. In addition, I'll be installing a 1965 Chevrolet Corvair 164 cid horizontally opposed, air cooled, 6-cylinder engine, with special conversion parts to make it suitable for airplane duty. This is what the airplane will look like when I'm done, although I'll have a different paint scheme:

  1. Love your Blog....Do you know of anyone looking to buy a Zenith 750 CH750 Stol? We live just above Spokane Wa (in Canada)...bought it off Vernon Knott in Mass. Has low mileage etc because my husband never gets time to fly....It is registered as an advanced airplane...Thanks Lynda Quin 250 921 5524

  3. Haven't given up. Dealing with some personal issues at the moment, so the project has been on hold for a couple months. Just bad timing. Hopefully I'll be back at it next month.
