On August 25th, I took our plane for a flight to a nearby airstrip to practice STOL landings & takeoffs. The aircraft is STOL CH-701, one of the original planes manufactured by Zenair Ltd. It has been flying in Finland since 1992, mostly on floats.

The plane has been upgraded with the SP-model landing gear and is powered by a Rotax 912 ULS. Not the easiest plane to fly and land smoothly due to its poor glide ratio and habit to stall the elevator at low speeds but as soon as you learn its characteristics, you start enjoying flying it more and more time after time. I think quite few fixed wing aircraft can beat STOL-701's STOL performance.
