Turbine Zenith 701 flew over 1200 miles
Posted on April 7, 2011 at 3:00pm 0 Comments 2 Likes
The Turbine Zenith 701 (742DE) flew over 1200 miles at 300’ over Lake Livingston last week in an attempt to locate a lost fisherman. We unfortunately did not save a life this time but I was sure impressed with the utility of the 701 to perform this type of search. It was gratifying to be able to help and I would recommend that all of you that have 701/750 consider letting local law enforcement know if you have time to volunteer.

hello scott, thank you for answering my email. i am very interested in possibly getting some prints of the driveshaft setup , so i might be able to have one made here. i also noticed that you changed drive setups with the new turbine engine , i believe that to be a newer jfs 100 , if i am successful in getting this engine running , i would like to put it in a 750 zodiac. john kreeger. kreeger.bill@yahoo.com

Quick question... you have mounted the wing root skins differently... why? What do you have in store for this area?
Wonderful work - and it has really inspired our workshop girls - thanks for the pics!
