At 9:33am on February 24, 2010, Stephen R. Smith said…: Hard to say what the next cross country will be for me.

I want to explore eastern Oregon and Washington.

In about two months when the weather gets predictably good I will head out with a bunch of "fast" ultra-lights from this area. It will be a big circle route: Lodi CA, Salt Lake UT, Moab UT, Down Colorado River to Page AZ, then back home via Southern CA. These guys fly slowly – 70-75 MPH. I have been practicing flights at those speeds – not too bad in a 601 – a 701 would be better.

Also have loose plans to fly to Alaska this summer with a 701 that is being built at QSP and will be based in Alaska.

I finished the forty hours today and I'm looking forward to fly-ins, airshows, and pancake breakfasts around the state. I also hope to visit some builders who are in neighboring states within reach. Rest assured, vigilance and continued tweaking are still on the agenda. Thanks for a great kit and equally great support.

Ordered one and will be at the factory on Oct 15 for the rudder workshop. Taking my kit home the 16th cant wait. Look forward to seeing you then. Larry

Ukraine began overflights of the first CH 640.

At 10:48pm on September 22, 2009, Mark said…: Thanks Sebastien! You guys make a great kit!

At 9:45pm on August 18, 2009, Lori Douglas said…: I unpacked the crate one piece at a time. A neighbor had a fork lift and got the crate off the truck. The crate is now in the center of the garage, ready to serve as my work bench once inventory is done. Thank you for your help in getting it secured. The straps held great!

Thanks,
Mike

At 10:53am on July 20, 2009, Rick Lach said…: Hi Sebastien,

After reading about the upcoming “STOL Flying Techniques Forum” at Air Venture I was very disappointed that I will not be able to attend. California is a long way off and it’s a nice thought but not happening this year. Soooo how about you and your Zenith team take some videos and post them on the web site. I have a few hours in a 701 now but not enough to consider my self and expert, and even the experts can learn from a good discussion on this subject about the many techniques of landing and taking off the 701.

How about it?

So much time, so little to do... a.a.a, did I say that wrong?

At 10:01pm on June 16, 2009, David Orr said…: VG question:
Sebastien, do you know if Zenith is going to sell a VG kit for the 701's elevatror?
Thanks

At 10:01am on May 28, 2009, Juan Vega said…: Hey Sebastian,
my dad and i wre shooting the S___T last night and were wondering about the the 620. if two people were interested enough, could they conceivably buy plans to modify a 601 to a 620 with twin 2200s. We my be thinking of it as a fun project.

At 8:46pm on May 7, 2009, Mark Ertz said…: Hi Sebastien, Ask your website manager if he can flip comments on each item to read most recent comment on top/first? I would like to read the most recent response top down. Thanks, Mark

At 7:41am on April 3, 2009, Thomas Richardson said…: Much appreciated. These things tend to take on a life of their own. as an aside, I am just getting ready to paint all components and assemble. I have enjoyed this build thouroughly and hope to build again in the future. Tom

At 3:48pm on April 2, 2009, Thomas Richardson said…: Sebastian , perhaps you could comment on the ongoing debate on good/bad fuel requirements for the Rotax engines. I know that Roger has said he burns 100LL in the 701, and Phil Lockwood has said " no problem" as long as a couple of issues are followed ( more frequent oil changes and a higher grade motorcycle oil). I know you might be hesitant but it sure could be helpful to your devoted followers) thanks, Tom

At 11:23pm on February 12, 2009, Brady McCormick said…: Sebastien,
That wing tent is the coolest thing.
I could see those selling at the airshows, with the zenith logo on them!
Just a thought.........:)

At 12:27pm on February 2, 2009, Richard Benson said…: Sebastien,

Are the wing kits for the new CH650 using match-hole construction between the ribs and skins like the CH750 wing kits are?
I enjoyed talking with you at Sebring.

Thanks,

Rich

That's what the advocate told me.
At least now I am alive and now I can build an STOL of your father design.
