FULL ALUMINUM RC ZENAIR 750

[@petergraham4666]

Thanks for all the comments guys. This was my 6th flight with that plane and as of yet I have not played around and slowed it down to a crawl. I am assured by the builder it will go very slow but flying at Joe Nall is definetly not the place to experiment and have your plane fall out of the sky. The plane does seem to have a bit of a rock to it and I am working on figuring that out. Any help would be welcomed. Once I get comfortable with the plane, I hope to indeed slow it right down, but it is fairly heavy so we will see what happens. And I will install a pilot.

[@Dzordzikk]

Hi Peter, very nice build of very ughly plane. Can I ask you about material thickness you use and how much workhourk you spend on it? Flies very well. After few hours at the sky you can use flaps and fly at much highet AOA to slow it and show STOL capability of this model. nice work.

[@petergraham4666]

@@Dzordzikk this plane has the flaps and ailerons connected together like the full scale and is in the flapperon arrangement

[@eltouristoduo]

I hope it never gets too slow on you. Any updates? RC you can't normally judge airspeed of course. Hard enough to judge ground speed. Downwind can nail you. I havn't been active for years but maybe again sometime. I thought about installing an airspeed tube with telemetry call out speed with minimum warning. I think about weird projects like that. Things like that are sorta my personalization of my interest in the hobby.

nice flying dear

[@richardbrowne1217]

That Zenair 750 plane is one of my favorite STOL planes today. The R.C. model surprised me. Some one actually made a model version of it. "THAT IS SO AWSOME!!!" 👍👍👍👍👍

[@srnunan4783]

Looks just right but can tell that it's HEAVY,, the take off and landing roll were far longer than scale from the full size, would love to know how the weight and wing loading compares to the scale of the full size

[@sailr]

Carlos Rangel also built an all metal Zenair 750 at Top Gun.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Yes. I've heard about

[@brian1157]

The weight makes it so much more realistic! Incredible workmanship!

[@johncarold]

Beautiful build, this is what we are missing. When we were younger we scratch build our airplanes, or modifie our kits. Simply Beautiful build Great Job.

[@dwkach]

Amazing that it flies at all!!! Metal is far heavier than balsa and covering. Great JOB!!!!

[@reckemroysrc3764]

That's gotta be nerve racking with all the noise and PLANES Flying. I was on edge just watching. 😎

[@psygn0sis]

Right? If that was my model, I sure the hell wouldn't be flying around all those amateurs.

[@ChrisB257]

That -- was -- stunning!! What a beautiful monster... great flight to see - nice safe landing. Epic video Horst, thank you. :)

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind words, Chris. Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to catch a single flight at Joe Nall, because of over 1k pilots all over the fields._ Cheers, Horst

[@rcbif101]

Nicely built model. Too bad it does not seem to have the STOL abilities of it's full size counterpart though.

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

Yeah, I guess the "Slats" work, but he didnt drop the "flaps"....soo, it was kinda hot, plus, I can imagine the wing loading was kinda up there too....

[@eltouristoduo]

my first thought too. idk the area maybe 30 lbs is a bit heavy for that size. Usually foil covered balsa is lighter. I keep wondering if anyone provides plans. I doubt anyone makes kits or and Arf. Maybe 1/4 scale. I guess you could work from scale drawings. Needs a pilot in there lol. Now there's the CH750 Super Duty, can carry heavier engine, slightly bigger flying tail. I think the wings are just a bit longer idk if same chord, probably. Probably my favorite light airframe. Top contender for 'most safe and stable light airframe' in my book. Great bushplane IMO though others are more popular I guess. I don't think nose gear is inferior to tailwheel config, when its made strong with big tire. I think it's better.

[@peterschryver]

Nice flight Peter, that Saito 300T flies it well 😊. Love the sound of a twin four stroke, to bad they get drowned out by all the cheap weed wacker motors at a busy field.

[@rinunculartoo3006]

Impressive model and excellent camera work. Thanks for sharing.

[@zenithairco]

Nicely done!

[@bravogolf5905]

Pure Awesomeness! Really enjoyed that.

[@speedbrake1317]

Beautiful plane! I also grew some appreciation for my private rc runway.

[@Twin_Flyer]

Those wings look very strange but it seems like a nice flyer, love the aluminum on it. Thought it was weird all the smoke till I noticed it was a four stroke, so used to seeing gas on big planes.

[@jamesyoungblood555]

If it's a STOL aircraft where are the flaps to slow it down, seems as though that was a pretty hot landing. Anyway a beautiful aircraft. Shalom

[@petergraham4666]

The flaps and ailerons are connected together in a flapperon arrangement like the full scale

[@marcvandeneede3291]

the pilot on the end of the sticks is an awesome pilot and ive seen that plane it is a thing of beauty

[@garyreed2206]

For those commenting about the lack of STOL capability in the model, keep in mind the difference in the Reynolds Numbers between this and the full size aircraft. A smaller wing needs to fly at a RELATIVELY faster speed (speed vs chord) to produce an equivalent effective lift. Then there is the trick of perspective. If you ever watch a 747 in flight and wonder how it stays airborne because it LOOKS like it is flying so SLOW. A model has the opposite problem. Models appear to fly faster because they cover many more times their length per second, even if the actual speed may be slower.

[@tonyrosa4750]

I'm really liking the aluminum aircraft and the takeoff rollout was very true to real aircraft. Great landing. Sharp looking aircraft.I would like to see some photos and videos if he has any, on making this beautiful airplane. Outstanding workmanship and piloting skills..

[@dirtroadie4642]

Tony Rosa I think to scale the takeoff run was much longer than what this plane is capable of. My thinking is this was maybe a first flight? And the pilot wasn’t pushing it close to stall?

[@rayveatch7799]

I fly my Zenith 750 STOL and find it very light on the controls and it takes a while to adapt to it’s quick reaction. It took a while to reduce my over controlling inputs. With more flying you will likely find it smoothing out. Beautiful aircraft, my congratulations from one builder to another. N750SV.

[@TA-pp9jk]

[@346UNCLEBOB]

Nice plane. Crowded airspace.

[@gpaull2]

Very nice model. Appears that the STOL capabilities have been ruined though (probably heavy building with aluminum at this scale). Anybody that comments that the takeoff and landing were scale looking have obviously never seen a Zenair in action.

[@osidejeeper]

gpaull2 every takeoff and landing in a STOL planes doesn’t have to be STOL either.

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

Great vid but would of liked to here it with out so many plans at once.

[@volvo245]

Its funny that its modeled after STOL, when made to scale out of metal its take-off distance is among the worst in that event. I wonder if a all metal scale version of a modern fighter jet would perform....Could it even achieve positive lift with any scale turbine...

[@johnfinch8173]

A few years ago I built a mm perfect 42/50 850 Kv electric powered Zenair CH 701 1/5 th scale as a tribute to Scott Ehnie's turboprop CH 701. The model shown in the video is not to scale! The engine cowling is too long. The stabiliser does not have the inverted airfoil but a semi symmetrical profile and the door opening is not correct. The leading edge slats seem to be oversized and not fitted/positioned correctly as per original design and not to forget that the windscreen has too much rake. You get scale and semi-scale and I'm sorry to say the model featured is semi-scale. A nice effort but does not give me the wow factor. A pity I cannot post pictures of my Zenair CH 701 here.

[@givemetoast]

Cool model.

[@andyjoiner61]

Beautiful fly, bad no STOL...🙁

[@JoseMunoz-gg2cn]

It got the looks of a STOL PLANE,but the performance and handling of a LOADED CARGO PLANE!! For sure because of the extensive use of aluminum.A Nice looking model though.

[@wntu4]

I like it. Aluminum ensures you will win any arguments in the air. Power to weight ratio doesn't seem ideal though.

[@daviddavids2884]

some info. at :34, it is not clear whether the model builder understood just how weird this airframe is. for example, see the ABSURD profile of the the horizontal stab at full scale. links. someone could not bring themselves to 'copy' it. see links. the plane is well-suited to landing and taking off, only. googletranslate www.zenithair.com/stolch750/750-photos1.html note small tail feathers. the total (covered) area of the tail boom, contributing to Excess mass in the tail boom. www.zenithair.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/750-3v-sm.gif

[@PaddyPatrone]

Schon witzig irgendwie. Die 1:1 Variante kann man als Kit kaufen und in seiner Garage zusammen bauen. Die Modell-Version aus Aluminium in gleicher Bauweise zu bauen erscheint als logischer Schritt.

[@hgodtx]

Difficult to enjoy with so many other engines ruining the audio.

It is a beautiful plane, but that constant jerking left and right, the pilot can't fly it straight let alone executing a proper turn. A beautifully crafted plane flown badly.

[@cowboy6591]

Great plane BUT: STOL it's not. Even with that extra lift slats, didn't see any flaps, and the aluminum wrap, took that plane way to long to get off the ground. I suspect the aluminum wrap is the culprit and lack of flaps.
