I plan to start building a 601XL this Winter and want to put a 0-200 in it. I did transition training with Buzzy earlier this year and his 0-200 in the 750 seemed to perform well. I’ve been looking…Continue

I’ve been looking at several optionsand one is that I have the opportunity to buy a good running 150 with 700 hours smoh, know the pilot,his mechanic and how the plane has been cared for. He wants 12,500. for it and it’s sitting in a hangerclose to me. Realizing I wouldn’t get much for the airframe, besides the…See More

I now have 50 hours on my UL 350is and my oil temps. are running high so I purchased a13 row Aero classic oil cooler from Ray and plan to install it while doing the 50 hour maintenanceas directed by the UL maintenance schedule. Pulled the cowl today and studying how to builda new mounting bracket and I am just curious if others have changed to that larger oil coolerand if it has made a significant difference? My plane is a stol 750. I talked to Roger at Oshkoshand he indicated the oil…See More

This has nothing to do with Zenith, just a reminder of how bad things can happen. I was called to ourairport this morning after a local pilot crashed his Bellanca Viking on the runway when the landinggear wouldn't come down and he broke the manual pump lever off trying to get it down. He did anamazing job of skidding it down the asphalt with very minimal damage other than prop strike andnow engine tear down. After several hours via phone with the FAA he was given permission to movethe plane…See More

Had a 701 fly through McPherson (I live there on the weekend but stay in Topeka during the week). I believe he is based out of Derby, KS. No one was around the plane so I didn't want to do more then an external walk around.

I live about 5mi west of Wamego. I hope when I get experienced I will be able to land in my pasture. We should get together sometime. 785-617-0808.
