These videos are great. Thanks for putting them up

[@Ringele5574]

I gotta tell ya'll, I really appreciate your build and flight videos... Build more so. If I had the money I'd buy one. Thanks for the post.

[@nickmalone3599]

Been watching your videos. Brilliant idea to actually show how you build the plane.

[@jaybird4915]

I want to build one of your planes. Thanks for sharing the process. Great vid!

[@davidrobins4025]

Very good instruction with a great quality video to show the process. Thanks

[@spikelanch]

Wow that went together fast! Amazingly precise manufacturing!

[@flyingrv6]

Those rivets are so much easier then building an RV!!!

Wishful thinking on my part, but I would bet you would have 1 million subscribers if you did a complete kit plane assembly from start to finish.

[@shamimgaming7189]

Thank you for presentation

[@ozjohnno]

Its a good looking kit, Im suprised as to how simple the building process is. I would like to buy a kit, but am looking for the simplist kit there is. I am in love with the thought of a STOL bush plane.

[@WalkerFarmsMN]

You Guys are awesome, hope to start a 750 SD this fall. thanks

[@MasboyRC]

Impressive

[@rocroc]

Every guy (or gal) with a builder inside of him wants to build one of those planes after watching this video.

[@opl500]

You could put masking tape over the holes you don't want to rivet too?

[@raider6511]

U skipped a rivit at 51:14

[@jstephenallington8431]

It was just a test.... (to see if you were paying attention, good job!)

[@xyzzy177]

At 50:20 I see what looks like an empty rivet hole between the spar and the spar doubler, it's visible just before the lower fairing is installed.

[@dntower85]

I see the missing rivet too, 50:02-50:06 second hole from the bottom. Time for a video on drilling out rivets and fixing the mistake.

[@zenithairco]

No need to drill anything out. Just add a rivet in the hole a pull it.

[@zenithairco]

Yes, I think he forgot to put it in. Good eye!

[@xyzzy177]

It just "popped" out at me while watching the video...

[@Ringele5574]

I'm wondering how Roger missed that.... It was purely because it was rushed for the video I'm sure. One rivet out of over 8,000...... I'd fly it.

[@paoemantega8793]

Awesome

[@MrPetersplan]

I was wondering , wouldn't it make sense to lap the small patch under the skin so that water n air would wick over as well as for strength ? A small detail n suggestion. Thank you for the video . Great product and instruction.

[@Ringele5574]

peter Seisa soulsurffer , I agree with your comment. I have always thought layers would be to the leading edge of an aircraft, just as shingles are placed on a roof to deflect water.... No answer though. What a shame.

[@jeffreyt8bowman180]

Is there a similar video to this for each kit of the complete aircraft, for inexperienced builders who want their hands held throughout the process?

[@KrushnaBandhu]

What is the cost of the sheet?

[@701x35]

I just watched your rudder build and was very impressed with how the rivet holes lined up. Is the whole airframe the same or do you have to updrill/drill holes on the wings and fuselage?

[@zenithairco]

Most of the kit is now supplied with final hole size match-drilled parts (just like the rudder assembly)

[@billfleming9099]

Love the design of this plane but not sure of the rudder bearings being small hole in aluminium sheet. Would prefer to see some other metal for this role and certainly a larger bearing surface.

[@flyoran]

great job ;-)

[@so-fla.streetcars]

such an amazing kit. I'm a very experienced fabricator, Building race cars for 20 years .even for me tackling something like an airplane is very intimidating .but the way you've designed your system is very confidence inspiring And is one of many reasons after all my research I chose to do a Zenith 750sd over kitfox and others

[@ik04]

No wrinkles at all! Must be heavier sheetmetal than the STOL 750?

[@Alexsandro-zc6sc]

what material is the plane chassis made of

[@indyflyer]

Main Fuselage (Chassis) is built in 2 sections: A front section, which comprises the area from the firewall, where the engine is mounted from, through the seat section. The rear section is comprised of the area aft of the flight deck and continues to finish the main body. All of the aluminum is the same 6061 T6 material . There is a steel cage roll over section which attach the two sections together. That material is an aircraft grade 4130 chrome moly steel. Most if not all holes are pre drilled, most if not all are final sized. There are numerous Utube videos that show the construction of those components.

[@pezpengy9308]

im a sailor in hawaii and i know what i use to corrosion resist my many aluminum thingees.... out of curiosity, what would you folks use in an environment like mine?

[@j.c.guigou2558]

Question Rodger: Why did you put the last piece in by tucking it under the corner piece of rudder?? Is that not a way for rain and wind to enter the tail ? I guess it makes more sense doing it with the overlap for weather and aerodynamic purposes. Now I know this is a demo on how to, but would that not be a better way of demonstrating the build of the wing? Or will that last piece rub on the end of Fuselage? I always try to defend you but being spot on with these videos is a must! Just like flying being precise is a must! Thanks for the effort.

[@Wolfgang1224]

So you leave the big opening on the bottom of the rudder front piece? Isn't air going to go up in there & mess with stuff?

[@brianmorrison1344]

Can you completely rivet the skin together before the FAA inspection?.

[@mhilderbrand7693]

Yes, at least in the US. In Canada you need to leave parts open for the inspector to look inside before fully closing it up, I believe.

[@LogicStandsBeforeGod]

+Zenith Aircraft Company Hi there, can you pleases tell me, what is the gauge of the aluminum? at 11:55 you were saying "remove my existing quicker or clicker" What is that how do you call it correctly, or can you please explain it what it is, what does it do by placing it?

[@thericky1]

It's called a 'cleco' and serves as a temporary rivet, holding pieces together until you actually rivet it together. Kind of like when you tape two objects together for alignment before gluing/nailing/screwing (or something) them together

[@tinolino58]

Is there a more aesthetic aircraft coming in the lineup?

[@OneKoolDude]

The rudder control plate for the control cables seems to me to be a bit thin ?? Yes / no ??

[@andyanderson7712]

A sport pilot license is all that is needed to fly the Zenith CH750 Super Duty right ????

[@carretocajamar]

Stol😍✈

[@gl7080]

Hello at 51.32 you put the peace below the plate but to the other side you put it on top. Why is that?

[@MarkSDCA]

Ream the holes that are small. Don't ram the rivet in.

[@aweau]

At 51:00 minutes you missed putting a rivet in the back side of the rudder, if I was a QA inspector the rudder would not pass. you failed to check all hole for rivets !!!

[@jjohnston94]

You keep saying you would corrosion protect immediately before assembly. Does that mean while the corrosion protection is still wet?

[@zenithairco]

No, just that it would be the last thing to do before final assembly (riveting)

[@allenbrininstool7558]

I’m impressed however I would want to buy one built by the factory

[@Lisa281977]

51.02 missed a rivet.

[@anthonyvega1959]

Good eye. I didnt see that till I read your comment

You just do the cortex anti corrosion for the skeleton? Where in the Midwest are you? I am in Wisconsin.

[@RechargeableLithium]

Please don't speed-up parts of demo build videos, especially when there are people asking questions. I'm watching this to pick up pointers and the 2x playback is unintelligible, even when played at 1/2 speed.

thanks for the very informative video. maybe next time it could be done without the humming noise I’m the background (-:

[@zenithairco]

Yes, sorry about the background noise - this is in the factory with the operating CNC routers in the background

[@johncollins6023]

No rivet bucking?

[@zenithairco]

No, only blind (pulled) rivets are required for kit assembly. (The kit itself uses bucked rivets on sub-assemblies but this is done at the factory)

[@johncollins6023]

@@zenithairco I learned how to buck rivets in A&P school. It is not so easy to do in order to get it right.

[@جهادحسنفليح]

Good job. Tell me please, how I get planned this airplane

[@paulyoung46]

The entire build was for all intents and purposes done without reference to the building instructions which a first time builder should never do. I would like to have seen an example of drilling out a rivet rather that the casual reference "it's easy to do." I never did understand the purpose of the block placed under one of the beams nor why the repeated reference in pronunciation to the plural form "blocks" when only one block was used. The camera holder (sounded like Sebastien Heintz) did try to bring these two experienced and fast workers down to reality for the sake of first time homebuilders but they would just take right back off again seeming to try and set a record for how fast one of these rudder assemblies could be built. The older assistant tended to mumble and as a result was often not heard clearly enough to be understood.

[@ihdieselman]

if you're having a hard time understanding try watching it again. if you still don't get it I don't know that building your own plane is in your future. I've never worked on a plane and this all seems elementary.

[@thewrightstuff7971]

The purpose of the block is to keep the piece level.

[@mentorman2003]

On the last piece, the short one that wrapped around the lower portion of the rudder.. Why did one side go under the rudder skin, while the other side went over the rudder skin?

[@Ringele5574]

Sandy Asman Because you saw it wrong.

Come to Brownsville / South Padre Island, Texas and you will see this is a huge problem.

[@jeffgunn8393]

Up to the builder how to apply the corrosion protection to the aluminum. I lived several years near Tallahassee and Sarasota and that is close enough to the ocean to be a threat to the plane. In fact, now I'm in Central Georgia and thinking of applying corrosion 200 miles from the coast.
