Zenith STOL CH 801 - IO-375 First Flight

First flight of my Zenith 801. It has an IO-375 with an Eagle EMS FADEC. It flew great. Very straight and true.

Wow, what a great sound out of that engine, and a beautiful flying machine to boot.

Thanks everyone! Building has been a great personal journey for me. Finally flying it after 4 and 1/2 years of construction is quite a thrill, and definitely worth the effort. I'm very very pleased with how it flies. I expected it to fly a little "off", as this was not a prepunched kit, and even the best efforts can't match CNC precision. But it flies just straight as an arrow! CHTS and oil temps are in spec so far. I'll keep up with some pireps as phase I continues.
