Airspeeds - Flying the Zenith STOL CH 750 powered by the Jabiru 3300

LOL does that literally indicate MPH, or "Nautical Miles Per Hour" (Knots)? 'Cause if it's just miles per hour, 39MPH at a steady altitude!? xD Man you're flying below the ground speed limit LOL, that's plane's got some serious lift :D.

Looks like yuo have a problem with cylinder #5 at high load.

[offalyman1]

that looks like a real live version of fs.

Should there be a back up of the glass panel of at least an altimeter, attitude indicator and airspeed indicator? That is what everybody tells me. I like the clean look though? No compass??? or is that hidden?

If there was a 125hp engine available that was light enough for this airplane (there may or may not be, I haven't looked yet), what types of cruise speeds would be expected? The 96mph in the video isn't bad, but a little more speed would be desirable :)

It looks like this thing should out sell Cessna Skyhawk. Why don't flight instructors use this instead of Cessna anyway? Besides, with this model and the Zodiac bottom wing model, Zenith has Cessna beat for the complete flight training package. I can't believe all flight schools haven't thought of it.

@stratoleft Flight schools would love to do this, but federal regulations don't permit it. However, if the student owns or has a friend that has such a Experimental plane, and you have a willing instructor, that is allowed. Most insturctors don't have any problem with quite a few of the more popular experimental aircraft.

How far can you get off of 30 gallons of gas in one of these? I'd buy the extended range option, but how far does 30 gallons get you? Great planes!

[RocKiteman]

Only $10k for the panel? Cool.

[RocKiteman]

Beautiful airplane, though the panel looks like it cost as much as the airplane....

;~)°

[zenithairco]

I believe our cost was about $10k ...

[Laxllamma56]

@zenithairco The whole thing? Engine and everything was only 10k? and how long a flight does it last for?

[apairon2]

@zenithairco but isint that panel what comes in the standerd finish kit?

[Dominoes282]

@zenithairco 10k? Does that include engine, Panel, airframe, etc.? If so, I'm buying that along with a RV-4. :D

[D9magestic]

Love the 6 Cyl Jab sound.

[silvestrofly]
