<p>I trust you are well mended by now Bob. I'm still flying ZK-ZOD (Zoddy) here in NZ but less regularly. The ADSB mandate by December 2022 may be the incentive to move on after gaining PPL in '67. Classic cars are a more sedate pastime for us oldies.</p>

<p>Hello Bob,</p>
<p>Thank you so much!!</p>
<p>Someone would think that buying a 26th airplane (7th Zenair) would not be any exciting than taking a shower...but I can admit that getting back to a CH601HD now named "Flying Monkey" still kept me up all night.

<p>Hello Bob,</p>
<p>Thank you so much!!</p>
<p>Someone would think that buying a 26th airplane (7th Zenair) would not be any exciting than taking a shower...but I can admit that getting back to a CH601HD now named "Flying Monkey" still kept me up all night. For me, the first step in your hangar and looking at the Zen was like a Kid in Disneyland looking at the favorite character. I am so glad about how meticulously and proudly you have maintained this aircraft and paperwork. it passed the health checkup with minor snags that will be taken care of in next few days. I can assure you that plane will be treated equally (if not better) at his new home. </p>
<p>Obviously, the test flight gave me a great confidence in machine and I was not as much nervous to take off for a long flight in 25+ miles winds and real bumpy even at 5500'. It flew quite reasonable and everything stayed in GREEN. 260 miles of journey started with 30 mph tail winds for first 50 miles turning into a direct crosswind for next 50 miles. After that it was about 25 degrees and just as I was calling 10 miles out, all that wind disappeared like a magic and I touched down with less than 5 mile wind on my nose. All in all, it was a great flight I can't be thankful enough to you for your support and smooth transaction. As you said Bob, we are now friends first and then a buyer/seller. </p>
<p>Needless to say, You and Ray have a promised access to this "Flying Monkey' any day you are in the area and would like to take him for monkeying in the sky :).</p>
<p>Regards,</p>

<p>The Zen was sold on March 20, 2021. </p>
<p>My wife (married 40 years) said that I don't "own" an aircraft. You have torrid affairs with them, before moving on to another bird that catches your eye. She also said I was a plane fool when I married her.</p>
