Description
Flying the new Zenith CH 750 Super Cruzer with a 72-inch Sensenich propeller (ground adjustable composite three-blade), Zenith Aircraft's Sebastien Heintz and Roger Dubbert discuss the popular new CH 750 design.
"The new all-metal, high-wing airplane combines characteristics of two established members of the CH 750 family: the load-carrying utility of the STOL CH 750 Super Duty and the higher cruise performance of the CH 750 Cruzer.
"The result is a 2+1 aircraft — two side-by-side seats plus a rear jump seat — intended to give recreational pilots an airplane capable of genuine cross-country traveling without abandoning the short-field versatility associated with the Zenith name.
"That distinction is important. The Super Cruzer is not intended as a replacement for Zenith’s existing airplanes. Rather, it extends the family in a different direction. Zenith says it plans to continue offering its earlier models while positioning the Super Cruzer for pilots who want increased cruise performance while retaining useful load, cabin room, visibility and short-field capability.
"The prototype that arrived at Oshkosh was powered by a stock 180-hp Lycoming O-360 turning a three-blade, ground-adjustable Sensenich propeller. Initial testing produced cruise speeds above 120 mph, while VNE is listed at 160 mph. The airplane also features a 50-inch-wide cabin with large bubble doors and a center-mounted Garmin G3X display console."

The Zenith CH 750 Super Cruzer brings together cross-country cruising and sport utility in a roomy, all-metal kit airplane. Combining the payload capability of the CH 750 Super Duty with the cruising focus of the CH 750 Cruzer, it features a redesigned wing leading edge and updated tail for speed, along with a spacious cabin and versatile two-plus-one seating with a rear jump seat. Enjoy outstanding visibility and room for the people and gear that make every flight an adventure.
Building your own airplane is part of the adventure, and the CH 750 Super Cruzer makes that goal approachable with Zenith’s modern, final-hole-size match-drilled kit technology. Designed for straightforward assembly, it gives first-time and experienced builders alike the satisfaction of creating an airplane they can fly, maintain, and truly call their own. From the first rivet to your next cross-country getaway: Build It. Fly It!
As a kit (amateur-built experimental) aircraft, the builder chooses the engine and avionics to install, and can optimize the CH 750 Super Cruzer for speed (small wheels and fairings, cruise propeller pitch) or backcountry utility (larger wheels and tires, climb prop).
The prototype aircraft is powered by a 180-hp Lycoming O-360 engine with a 72-inch three-blade (ground adjustable) Sensenich prop.
