My Zenith CH650B taildragger flew for the first time yesterday and I was the sole occupant. It was a great experience. Many thanks to Chris Heintz for the great design, Zenith Aircraft Factory in Mexico, Missouri, for their great kit and support, and to Viking Aircraft Engines for an amazing engine!
