Hi All..

After long consideration, two of us, Kallie Venter and I (Jacques van Wyk), decided to test our friendship, marriages, patience etc.. and take the plunge..
Tail kit and plans on order from Bundu Avaition...

Re: Zenith CH750 STOL (P.E.)
Good luck guys....I also bought my kit through Bundu and thus removed all the importation nonsense that would have resulted otherwise. Now the wait for the kit will probably kill you!
Re: Zenith CH750 STOL (P.E.)
Great to hear you guys have taken the plunge. I'm busy scratchbuilding a 650 (very slowly). Currently I spend quite a bit of time away from PE. Mike Hubsch in PE is busy with a 801. Should make contact with him 083 six one one six zero 44. You went the wise route working through Bundu. You will get all the suppurt plus from Philip.
Re: Zenith CH750 STOL (P.E.)
Thanks for the good wishes guys.. We (PE guys) should get together sometime and share ides and experiences.. Apparently there's anothe 801 builder in Sedgefield...
Well keep you posted...

Re: Zenith CH750 STOL (P.E.)
Any more updates? Just wondering to the status of the 750's out there. I think Andrew Conroy's (built by Phil @ Bundu) will be the first one flying. The race is on!!
