Re: Conrads CH 750 Project
Thanks for the offer James. I am going to make one so I have it on hand for the next wing. I finished building the pilot wing wiring harness at Phils on Saturday - now to install. Still waiting for my nav lights. Coming along nicely. I hope to get in about 20 hours in this week.

Re: Conrads CH 750 Project
Finished crimping (made a crimping tool) and installed the wing tip. Now I need to install the nav lights (on order) and complete final assembly - then do it all over again on the next wing..

Re: Conrads CH 750 Project
Andrew, surely the boys at Zynkraal are nearly finished with your toy? Any photos of progress to date for inspiration?

Re: Conrads CH 750 Project
Hi I did try and post a pic or two but they are too large I will try and make them smaller and then I will try and start my own thread instead of hijacking Conrads.I spent a few days @ Zynkraal this week and can report that the wings are on.

Re: Conrads CH 750 Project
Awesome news Andrew!
I will be one of the first onlookers begging for a flip!
As summer approaches and the weather warms up, I am looking forward to spending some long hours in my garage. Building this winter in my cold garage wasn't great.

Re: Conrads CH 750 Project
Well after a long cold winter, summers here and it's time to get cracking with my build. I spent last night cleaning my garage and getting ready to finish the wing this weekend. My nav lights have arrived from Bundu - looking good.

Re: Conrads CH 750 Project
This weeks update.
I have removed the top skin off the pilot wing, installed all brackets, pitot tube, fuel tank and started reinstalling. Man this wing is taking forever.
