Just picked up my first CH750 Cruzer kit, at the factory In Mexico Missouri. Great people in the office and a clean operation. Loaded my trailer with the tail and fuselage kit, really exited about starting a new aircraft project!!!. With the UL350is engine and a Prince prop, this should be an amazing performer...........

My 601xls was ‘factory built’ in GA in ‘06. It has the 100hp Continental. Flies excellent. Love the low wing, especially on surprise x-wind landings - which can put the ‘light’ in lightsport. Dual joy-sticks, full Dinon w/AP, plus redundant six-pack. Sweetest little airplane, easy to fly and own. Thank you CH!

Love the 650, but would love you to produce an updated CH 640 match hole drilled. Hope you offer it in a couple of years, so I can build one after I’m done with my CH 750 SD! Would use the Viking 195T to power it. 👍

Lovely machine. What is the speed and fuel burn at a normal cross-country cruise setting with the UL 350i 118hp in the 650?

Happy Anniversary 600 series. As a GM engineer I'm very interested in the Viking 140 "Baby Turbo" GM engine in this airframe. Looking forward to seeing all of the Zenith folks and engine vendors at Airventure this year.

Can you tell us some history of the 601 twin that your dad built
@jeffreyhughes7107Ай бұрын
I prefer low wing but I am 6'4" and I currently have a '65 Cherokee 140. I feel okay in it but it feels like tight jeans and I was wondering if I would feel any different in the 650. I'm pretty sure the Cruzer would feel roomier with the bubble door option but I'm attracted to the 650's low wings and speed. How tall is Roger?
@brent1041Ай бұрын
I think the seats are more comfortable in my 601xl than in any Cherokee. Mostly from the added thigh support. The Cherokee is marginally easier to get in and out but not enough to matter for most. The zenith interior is actually a few inches wider but it’s still a small plane. The speed’s of all zenith aircraft are affected by engine selection. These aircraft really start performing at 120hp+
@sunmanav829 күн бұрын
Jeff, I was scratch building a 650 until I bought a 1969 PA28-140 back in 2016. I sold the Cherokee last year and am considering continuing my 650 build as a close in on retirement. I am 6'2" and have not yet taken a flight in the 650 but hoping to get a demo at Airventure this year.
@jeffreyhughes710729 күн бұрын
@@sunmanav8 Oh I would love to hear how you fit. If I do follow through with either the Cruzer or the 650 I would consider using the Viking 140 Turbo. Thank you for responding and congratulations on nearing the end of your career. I'm about 10 years out but I work in the film industry and these two strikes sucked the hope out of retirement.

Do yo provide a 3d model for the stol 701 if I purchase the drawings from your website? I want to start a scratch build for the stol 701 and if a 3d model is available, the build will be much easier.
