STOL CH801 Short Take Off, 4 Seat version of CH701

I cruise at 100mph on 10gph or 85mph on 8gph

I know it's not designed for XC flying, but I'm curious...what's the cruise speed and the fuel burn on the 801?

I've owned a searey and would love to have this to land on the beaches of florida with large tires!

Wow, sure it gets off the ground, the climb rate is unbelievably unsafe. The aircraft is capable to be sure, but this is a great demonstration of why it's a bad idea to fly in the mountains at 86 degrees.

But I get it that you're showing capabilities, not a training video! Neat aircraft!

Incredible aeroplane. Just out of curiosity why did you choose a STOL aircraft as opposed to faster aeroplane? I learnt to fly in a zenith ch-2000 and that thing was tough as nails.

I didnt choose a STOL aircraft over a faster aircraft,,, it is in addition to my fast airplanes. I got a STOL because the other planes I own are very fast I didn't have a low and slow airplane. I must say when it comes to just flying for fun I enjoy the STOL more then just going fast.

my dad and me built an 801 about 8 years ago,we put a rotary in it,we eventually sold it but they are amazing aircraft!

Just unbelievable performance at that altitude and density. I'm floored. Could you imagine at sea level, here in Florida on a winter day? You'd be off the ground in probably 60 feet!

Thanks, we still have not had it down at sea level but we are excited to try it. My husband is jealous with the take off distance... his plane takes almost 4000 feet to get off the ground but it is fast on the top end, 275 knots.

gosh mom is hot
