I think that's right around where I was with it too on the 701. I think it's at 12° on the Fox which seems to working out perfectly.

Not this time. :-) Helmets are only required in Basic Ultra-lights. This one is registered as an Advanced Ultra-light.

@@danlibby8366 Hahaha! We'll have to find a tiny headset for it!

Bahahaha! Nice one!

@@mmatt 😝 Great Video by the way!!!!!!

Well feel free to send some of your warm air up this way, it was -24°C here this morning!

It's a river actually, the Saint John River in New Brunswick. We took off from CCD3 (which isn't on the default sim database but it can be downloaded on flightsim"dot"to) and flew south down the river to 45.890358, -66.998571

Wow that plane doesn’t need much distance to get airborne. I grew up “up the river”, St.André which is near Grand Falls, wife is from Aroostook. Say high to Pierre O. if he’s still in Woodstock. 👍

@@fly-n-m9445 I'm quite happy with its STOL performance, it should be a really fun plane to go adventuring in this summer! Stop in and say hi if you're ever in the area!

@ Going this late spring, I’ll look you up. 👍

@@mmatt Thanks so much, but I just remembered that MSFS 2020, does not have frozen lakes, or any bodies, of water, it is impossible, to achieve. I might just have to pick, another video, of yours's to fly, any suggestions?

I'd need a pretty big "go fund me" so I could quit my job and do that! Hahaha! But it sure would be fun!

Probably in the spring once it warms up a bit. It's a student of mine's. It should be pretty fun to fly.

Come on down! We'll go anytime you want. :-) (weather and schedules permitting of course) lol

No, that was a Zenith 701. I'm not sure how many hours are on it now but I do know that it's still going strong with no issues reported that I know of.

Transport Canada did listen! The proposed amendment is no longer on the table! :-)

It doesn't get off the ground as quickly as the 701 and the landing roll is a bit longer too but it's still plenty STOL enough for the places I like to land now that it has VGs installed. It cruises about 20mph faster than the 701 and I find it a bit more comfortable to sit in. The visibility isn't quite as good and the cockpit feels a little smaller due to a lack of the big bubble doors that the 701 has. It has dual control sticks instead of one center stick and the brakes are a hand lever instead of differential toe brakes.

I'm very happy with its performance so far!

It takes a few weeks to get used to it but then when spring comes, 40°F degrees feels like summer! I have the Warp Drive prop, not the eProp. Although I'd love to try one someday. Just gotta save up a bunch of pennies first! The Warp Drive is currently working great though and I love how rugged it is which I'm sure will prove useful in the summer when I'm off-roading. :-)

I had eProp. It was very good 👍, quite and power, and perfect balance (I had a lot to compare with). But I used it with my moto paragliding equipment.

I'm not a fan of sitting around freezing my butt off! lol!

LOL! Only if you promise to share your heat!

Ya, I might not have gone if it was today with the warmer weather we just had but after next week, it should be twice as thick! lol

Sold my share in it to the other owner.

@@liamcushing1092I'm still trying to figure out a way to get some good engine noise instead of the wind. Aside from planting a camera or mic inside the cowling, I'm not sure how I'm going to do it though. Lol I'd rather deal with a big turning radius than a weakened nose fork. Lol I can always get out and turn the plane by hand if I have to. I have another idea that I'm working on for this too. We'll see if it pans out. :)

@@Cavalier-lp8tr I did. It made an improvement for sure but not enough for me to be happy with it. When I first started flying the Fox, the take-off rpm was around 5150 and it would get off the ground in about 400 feet. I took a degree out of it which got it to 5350 (I was going for 5400 but figured it was close enough) and take-offs improved to a little under 300 feet. Better, but I really wanted sub-200 foot take-off rolls to give me a large margin of error for the 500 foot strips that I want to get in and out of and it looks like the Warp Drive has given me that.

Crazy!

That's a really hard choice to make. The 701 has all-metal construction which is better if you have to leave the plane tied down outside and I find it has a bit better visibility too. The Fox, as you mentioned, is faster and with VGs, has almost the same slow flight capabilities. It also has folding wings as standard equipment. I think it would really come down to personal preference and you you really couldn't go wrong with either I don't think. I agree with you on those eProps, what a crazy looking prop that produces some pretty incredible results. The 701 picked up almost 10 mph with it with no loss in climb performance. I'd love to get one for the Fox one day.

The speed range on the S6 doesn't really warrant an in-flight adjustable pitch prop I don't think. I agree with you that you probably wouldn't see much difference. I love the Rans Coyote, nice birds. :-)

@mmatt Thanks, it is a fun plane.

@@mmatt Thanks for the input. I really enjoy how responsive the Coyote 2 is.

I'm up in Canada, (as the title of the video subtly implies) and we have different rules for Ultra-lights here. Lots of good info in the video about that if you'd like to learn more.
