Extreme Off-Airport Operations: Landing on a dirt trail overlooking the ocean

This is excerpted from a free mini DVD from Zenithair and shows amazing capabilities of the Zenith STOL CH 701 / 750. The beauty of this Sky Jeep airplane is its simplicity, durability and low cost. It has a 100 HP Rotax engine which runs on car gas and it can land almost anywhere with the big wheels. This bushplane can be assembled from a kit for the DIY types.

@RCvehicleGuy They make cool watches too.

What kind of engine, how much HP, and rough cost for whole thing?

[pilarcoco]

@pabobfin - The beauty of the Chris Heintz designs is you don't need a lot of power for STOL performance. This one uses the 100-hp Rotax 912 engine.

I built mine from kit kit for about $30k total.

this aircraft is sooo awesome!! what have you found to be a realisitic cruising speed in this plane? Keep up the inspiring work!

[Gex9z]

@nicklking I've heard the maximum airspeed of this plane is 120 knots, but yeah a stable cruise speed would be around 90-100 knots (you can find a few other vids where people demonstrate that) :].
