June 2021 Zenith Aircraft Preview while flying the Zenith CH 650

[@GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

Yes! A flying video WITHOUT the horrible music! To the folks at Zenith, if you’re reading this comment, please stop adding music to your flying videos. Being able to clearly hear the pilot & co-pilot talk, and being able to hear the engine noise is what makes us want to view videos like these. 🤗 And I’m not just talking about this channel. A lot of aviation youtubers ruin their videos by adding unnecessary music. I’m sure in their own mind they think having the music playing will add to the enjoyability of their videos. NEWS FLASH: It does the opposite.

[@hgl23rj]

I love you, and it all started with a man's dream or sometimes stubbornness, he certainly left a sky full of enthusiasts. very good airplane a dream of every man is to fly.

[@johngood3163]

BEAUTIFUL PLANE

[@billbixby6804]

I'm not a pilot so can't fully understand the lingo but love watching. That bubble canopy makes all the difference for visibility.

[@Ahcelaht]

Would one of these be a great first plane?

[@gordongibson7137]

I absolutely love these Zenith aircraft and I would have one in a heartbeat. I gravitate more to the high wing models. Now I have one question and I'm not looking to be a wise ass. But in the event of an engine out where during the landing you are unfortunate enough to tip the aircraft on it's back, (can easily happen).....how do you get out of it?

[@coloradocruzer]

There should always be a canopy breaker tool within reach of the pilot.

[@acebaker2001]

@@coloradocruzer i assume the canopy is plexiglass. What kind of tool breaks plexiglass in the hands of a potentially injured occupant?

[@coloradocruzer]

@@acebaker2001 It's called an emergency egress hammer, ships with a new Cirrus aircraft and many others. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKmpg5uApKiNisk

I’m about to start building one with a friend and wanted to know your opinion on the Y handle. I’m considering getting the dual stick upgrade as I feel more comfortable holding both hands but I’ve also never used a Y handle before

[@zenithairco]

About 90% of builders/pilots prefer the center stick

[@jms241965]

You guys definitely have a leg up on the RV12 right now…approximated 15k cheaper with a quick build option…also you’re not in Chapter 11 proceedings…after spending 22 million of your customers deposits.

Wow once again. Enter the runway then announce takeoff. Imagine an unannounced aircraft landing just then! Everyone dies. Checklists. What's that. Min maneuvering speeds. What's that. Pre takeoff passenger instructions. In case a takeoff emergency occurs. This channel needs help with nominal safe flying.
