Zenair CH 701 STOL flying demo by sport pilot

[AskataFly]

@Cook1993 No it's required, just the ULM qualification required, and it's very easy to have

[stolflyer]

Yes, most countries require a license: ultralight (ULM, microlight) in Europe, Sport Pilot in US, or private pilot licence (PPL). It depends on the rules / countries...

[dew1don]

FAA requires a light sport pilots liscence. limited top speed, limited altiude, limited flight weather, etc.....

[cjracer1000]

this thing can takeoff and land on the back of a Md-80

[Tideliner]

We mounted one with quick burn rocket assist boosters for even shorter take-off on Alaskan beaches.

Off the ground in less than 50 ft....

God's design. I second the IDIOT vote. God is an illusion

[edhamblin]

Good vid, music sucks.......

[ccoraxfan]

Once again mankind benefits by copying God's design. The extension on the leading edge of the wing is copied from the alula of a bird.

[Smartathanyou]

god's design.

jeez whattanidiot.

[jmr604]

lol

[Calnickel]

Birds can't have slots in their wings (or all the blood drains out). It was mankinds idea to make a slotted wing.

[capsaicinrain]

oh no! shame on us for using the inginuity GOD gave us to create something so amazing.

btw, planes dont flap their wings, DUMBASS

The slow flight demonstration near the end of the video is superb!

[stolflyer]

This great video is produced by Zenair France, Zenair's French representatives.

[kazakhpilot]

Most excellent video!

[sche1nz]

Awesome video! I just love the wording on the fuselage: "Zenair CH 701 / the original model" and "Zenair CH 701 / It's not a copy".

[Calnickel]

The 'it's not a copy' is in response to some eastern European companies making inferior unlicensed versions and even calling them CH701s.

[sche1nz]

Yes, the Zenith STOL CH 701 has the distinction of being what is probably the most copied light aircraft in production... though they do say that imitation is a form of flattery (though we teach our kids not to mimic!)
