Today I ordered the last parts of the CH 750 kit (wings, fuel, fuselage, control, nav lights, dual stick, bubble doors). Slated for an August pickup at the factory. Requested a CH 750 STOL demo flight. That day is perfect, a Thursday, if raining maybe I can do a Friday morning ride. Definitely a factory tour and meet some key folks.

Updated main page story with greater detail and a little bit of history, some taken from communications with William Wynne, some taken from flycorvair.net, and some from Chet Peek’s “The Pietenpol Story”. And some information from the excellent David McCullough biography “The Wright Brothers”.
