Hear It and See It Fly! Custom Zenith CH 750 Taildragger with Radial Engine

[@searam1]

I love the sound of a radial engine!

[@kbjerke]

Now, *THAT'S* a nice looking (and sounding!) CH750!! 👍

[@ManNomad]

Bad-ass!

[@stevenorquist-yp7su]

Now that is a good looking aircraft!

[@robertheywood141]

Nothing cooler than a radial engine 👍👌

[@MaconHarris]

I love this! If I were to build a 750 it would have to look like this!

[@aaronbugaiski2487]

Sweet built man! Nothing like the sound of a radial. Makes me wanna get out and get some work done 2 mine.

[@gregwatruba4541]

Looks so much better as a tailwheel.

[@moose7472]

Congratulations Ben!! I have been following you through Rick. God Bless ya Ben, for just building something that you wanted!!

[@shmio]

Looks like a great airport for a first flight.

[@timgarrett203]

Wow! More info please!

[@moose7472]

I don’t know a lot, but I have seen the plane. It’s a 750 cruizer, with a Rotec radial. Ben had some help with test flights with some great pilots who give some detailed feedback.

[@moose7472]

And I think the gear was custom made by Grove

[@ar15gator]

Love that! 💯

[@markmcriley2558]

I just see this plane in a Fiesler Storch paint scheme.

[@simondswg]

Absolutely beautiful build. Curious if you were able to pick up any STOL capabilities going Tailwheel vs Tricycle. Very cool though and love the Radial Motor 🙏🫡

[@dr.dansgarage]

Very cool

[@C-Henry]

Oddly reminiscent of the old Curtis Robin. At least from a distance.

Imgaine a Sam aircraft with one of those radials.... Lets make it happen :)

[@kelvinleigh]

What are the benefits of using a radial engine?

[@electricaviationchannelvid7863]

redundancy - losing a few cylinders and it is still going... more extreme operational tolerance for temperature, dust... cooling is more even for the cylinders...

[@unclejack123]

which radial is this? Rotec?

[@richardbrowne3641]

When I first seen this Zenith 750, I thought, "WTF!" I wonder how that radial engine set up is going to work.

[@5xls]

Radial, not rotary...

[@richardbrowne3641]

@5xls opps! You'er right. I'll go fix my mistake.

[@swiftadventurer]

will you fix seen to saw?

[@richardbrowne3641]

@swiftadventurer I just haven't seen a 750 set up as a tail dragger with a radial engine.
