N318MH First Flight
I can't thank Roger and the rest of the Zenith team for the support before during and now after completion of N318MH.
The plane performs fantastic, and I couldn't be any happier with my decision to build a Zenith.
I can say to anyone with the utmost of confidence that the folks at Zenith are “the real deal”. They're kind folks with a genuine interest in developing a product that they love, and it shows and has shown at every point of engagement from the first time I met the team 4yrs ago at Oshkosh while considering what to build, to the moment Roger helped me perform post flight inspections on Saturday evening when we put N318MH back in the hangar.

Michael, Congratulations on the completion & successful flying. I really enjoyed this video. Well thought out and the music fit perfectly. I live near Houston, so we may meet up someday at a Saturday fly-in somewhere when I get mine done. Way to go!

Good eye James. I was wondering if anyone would catch that. I'd like to say that it was some special effects I added in there, but the truth is.... While preparing for the first flight I was practicing in a sport cruiser, which floats forever when in ground effect if you have even the slightest bit of power still in (much like the HD). I became accustomed to pulling back on the throttle pretty hard. On my first flight, even though the idle was set correctly, my adreneline must have been pumping because I pulled back enough to flext the throttle stop a little bit. I've since added a stop collar to make sure I don't do that again. Take note folks who are using the Jab and dual throttle! I put my collar at the back of the panel, but it seems like it could be added at the carb as well.

Congratulations Mike, I always enjoy seeing people complete their dreams...am I being short sighted or was the prop stationery on the runway?
