STOL CH 750 Super Duty powered by the Viking Honda engine

[@zenithairco]

See it and hear it fly! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6CTgoNtip6ShtE

[@decali0223]

Thanks man! That's something that I'll love to have! Sweet! Deleted my previous comment!

[@conornoel9149]

i realize I am pretty randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@phildouglas9086]

Wow. It's been since the early 1960s since anyone built something like this. Nostalgia, it's called. Good job, guys.

[@Mike-iy7bk]

Thanks for the video. To each there own in the home built market. Zenith and Viking are exactly the approach i want.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

The horse bush is also a viking boat as a athena double

[@dozer1642]

It’s a beautiful plane, I think. Didn’t see much of it though. Saw the guy talking a lot.

[@zenithairco]

[@chriscall3425]

Ok,, so some guy in Germany that did the interior for free, if you "show case" his work but you don't say his name,, but you know what color of black it's painted.

[@davidrobins4025]

It would be nice to see the panel the gentleman was talking about when he was talking about it.. Seats look very comfortable. I love the red powder coating - my colour. Finally saw the panel.

[@chas3778]

I wonder what the fuel consumption is per/hr at max power. Also would like to know how that engine functions at altitudes with less oxygen density (above 10,000 feet)

[@rickster348]

- what a cool little airplane, Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@scotnor]

Less face and more airplane!

[@andrewjackson7476]

Ya but, this build shouts, look at me, me, ME, whoopy Dee!! VERY VERY POOR Choice of engine. Those tiny 4cyl engines use HUGE amounts of fuel, at high rpm and under turbo boost. For spinning a Propeller, you NEED an engine that produces a lots of torque at very low rpm, and sips fuel while doing it. Oh!,,, and inline 4cy are vibrators, unless fitted with balance shafts that rob engine of power, while adding weight and complexity. VTEC Yo !!!

[@zenithairco]

See it and hear it fly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6CTgoNtip6ShtE

[@mattwalsh9278]

AGREE.. very poor production.. you get a D -- . THUMBS DOWN ! I wanna buy a car.. Im not gonna be in the office looking at the salesman.. we wanna see the plane dammit..

[@damonpetty7741]

Can this take off/ land on the side of hills and steep terrain? How long would it take to take off at 4000ft?

[@wimm1392]

That plane looks very comfortable and good. Good video lots of information. Thanks very much.

[@MisterMitchMM]

Beautiful build. Excellent presentation. Thank You.

[@samualwhittemore228]

"...this is pretty much an eighty day project....theres absolutely nothing to it...it probably could be done faster" ^^thats what I'm telling my wife when the delivery truck shows up in the driveway. ;)

[@TeensierPython]

How is oiling done with a car motor? Most of them are wet sump and they don't like operating at "extreme" angles like you get in an airplane.

[@jpp9876]

Do these Honda engines have a duel spark system? I was suprises he didn't speak on fuel use and speed of the aircraft

[@rtrowbridgedixon]

Hey camera guy! Learn the concept of a cutaway and B-roll. We want to see the plane, not the guy talking. Where are the closeups of the places on the panel he’s talking about? Control placement? Sheesh....this is a frustrating vid to watch if you want to find out about the SD750.

[@andrewjackson7476]

[@flyingcatfish]

@@andrewjackson7476 and yet that still doesn't explain why the cameraman thinks equipment is mounted on the guy's face when the guy was pointing out different things in the cockpit.

[@flyingcatfish]

Obviously the items the guy is pointing out are attached to the guy's face. That's what the cameraman suggests anyway.

[@monteirowladmir8499]

i love Zenith aircrafts

[@bryco32]

LOL! Who made the damn interior for you? So much for showcasing his work when we don't even know how to contact him.

[@benghazi4216]

Such a dick move I tell you, at least drop a name so someone interested can search for him

[@ВладимирБибиков-б5м]

Классный, красивый аппарат! Золотые руки у мастеров изготовивших этот шедевр.

[@uncatila]

Yes but what if you lose a spark plug? Where's the redundency?

[@OnSiteTrav]

What’s the take off and landing roll in the 750 with the 180hp turbo?

[@grantikos]

Any video of the plane without the walking voice?

[@telace1]

How many miles can it fly..and whats the working payload

[@flynic3]

What happened to going to Valdez? I thought the Viking Zenith Super Duty was going to compete this year...

[@OFFFishing]

One slick looking machine 🔥🔥🔥

[@mattlord2906]

I heard civic then I heard accord. Or is the same engine in both cars?

[@nitinmittal213]

How many people working for 80 days?

[@davidparry8514]

future of aviation. great looking aircraft.

[@daviddonohue665]

What is the recommended octane in this car engine?

[@dcc914]

Does it have a parachute ?

[@davido1953]

constant speed prop?

[@TheSiliconeslick]

Is it possible to put a real ford super duty motor in a cub?

[@telace1]

What the maximum distance that can be flown on a single full up of gad

[@telace1]

*Gas

[@sksupply]

Wondering about GPH on this aircraft and endurance. I imagine it performs well.

[@zero_to_1000]

What engine management does it use?

[@joeandjanice]

Can't wait to see this in Oshkosh! Incredible build!

[@juancastellano1948]

Zenit Aircraft Company. How much is a plane like that?, because it is beautiful. Thank you and a warm greeting from Huelva, South West of Spain.

[@lsoncz0219]

How many people it can carry ?

[@zenithairco]

Two, plus rear jump seat

[@laescuelasabatica]

Great video, very thorough for a neophyte such as myself.

[@1225drob]

Great video and beautiful plane, but what about performance numbers?

[@kniveznor1]

barely any horsepower

[@kencohagen4967]

How does the RPM at the engine's peak torque effect how many blades on the propeller are needed?

[@machinesandthings7121]

I'm wondering if the heat from the baking process of powder coating changes the strength characteristics of aluminum?

[@Stock_RCs_suck]

Machines and Things no it does not.

[@mirycreek]

Machines and Things the slots, I call them slots because they are fixed in place and not movable or I would have said slats have plastic tips on each end those would have been painted then riveted on as powdercoating plastic don't work, I built a dozen or so airplanes for icp in Canada and we used to use an epoxy based paint that was awesome, you could paint a piece of alum. And score it with an exacto knife and bend the piece of alum. And try and pick the paint off and you couldn't. I still think polishing is the best less weight = faster and higher roc

[@karyaputrabangsapesawatyan105]

Hay guys..this is honda engine.?how much coloume cilinder?

[@uptightnonchalant1857]

I know Honda builds great engines but I wonder how the PSRU and engine combination will hold up. Harmonics etc........

[@mryang3644]

When ur in the air, life or death, better hope u have a reliable motor in there. Cant go wrong with an import.Great choice in motor👍

[@OneKoolDude]

Hey Jan, What was the zero fuel weight on this A/C ??

[@pops9190]

Camera man, learn some basic filming skills..... you're not spray painting a fence..... keep the camera out of peoples faces... what a wasted opportunity

[@rodeosound]

Do they ever actually fly it or just bounce it around to air shows

[@eggenfellner]

The plane flew to Sun-N-Fun and will be flying from Florida to Alaska starting Wednesday, April 25th to be apart of the Show in Anchorage and participate on Valdez. You can follow the trip through our forum vikingaircraftengines.ning.com/

[@heatwoleboarder]

the phrase "aesthetically pleasing" cracked me up for some reason.

[@Henry-n7n8]

how much

[@donotbelieve90percent]

will they ever make this decent looking TD? btw that is an awesome beer holder

[@Mike-01234]

The only thing I wonder about is the reduction unit when one of these auto conversions ends up in an NTSB report lot of times it's the reduction unit that fails, and the engine management computer I have seen a few where something goes wrong in the aftermarket computer can't use the honda computer have to use something else.

[@KowboyUSA]

Can tricycle landing gear handle rough undeveloped terrain?

[@zenithairco]

"Rough undeveloped terrain" is quite relative. The effective elevator control means you can mostly keep the nosewheel off the ground. Additionally, we like the better forward visibility of the tricycle gear configuration, better steering and ground handling, and ease of getting in and out of the plane. The reality is that most modern pilots simply don't have taildragger experience or access to training, and pay higher insurance rates for taildragger coverage.

[@cluberic]

If only STOL 801s were as popular as 750s :(. Cant find any recent videos of 801s anywhere.

[@flyingcatfish]

How do you put a display or an iPad on a man's face? Clearly the cameraman is showing us that is where Jan means when he is talking about attaching displays, iPads, and other things because whenever Jan points something out, all we see is Jan's face.

[@hectordisla]

I like it so much, it is beautiful totally, God bless this airplane.

[@mattwalsh9278]

God Bless the Airplane??? Seriously GOD BLESS THE AIRPLANE..!! Mate, I think God has a lot more on his plate than worrying about some stupid airplane.. ya think????

[@00Resev]

V-Tec just kicked in, y'all! :-P

[@bbrydr331]

Still a Viking engine fan?

[@golfer1950]

What a great power plant and seats. Liked the LED bar on landing gear. Seats look super. Wonder what the cost is on the seats

[@golfer1950]

I am looking at the site now excellent info especially weights. I am looking at building a 801-SD which is not priced but I am sure I can get them info to make an estimate. Looked at your videos again. You are they flier I like, has fun and demands perfection in the aircraft.

[@matsfreedom]

Zenith A/C fly well. Would love to see this plane's performance.

[@jankristensen7884]

yes, waiting for that, weights, speed and fuel flow etc

[@stwhite5135]

Don't bother. We don't get to see the plane in action. The don't even start the engine.

[@horsemumbler1]

I pity this fool.

[@w_booysen]

LOVE it!!!!

[@germanflightjunk5221]

Awesome plane 🤩

[@misterpotato2]

wow..2 months working alone?

[@noonyouknow]

Your a nice guy but i would have preferred to see more airplane details.

[@doneB830]

Show us the plane

Looks really impressive... Does it Fly?

[@bushpilot1074]

what is the cruise and the payload ?

[@bushpilot1074]

good cruise good payload , and must be very performant!! the engine looks heavy , why not install a 0360 ? but all the detail are very nice !

[@davisrs1]

Hey Jan Eggenfellner, what happened to the Subaru engines? Why Honda?

[@ichihusni5014]

Honda K swap everything

[@samstermotorized]

So what happens when your Honda "Check Engine" light comes on?

[@samstermotorized]

"Its like a bunch of drunks got on KZbin and are all of a sudden experts." Read that to yourself again please. Also, "some of the most reliable engines in the world. Its called maintenance." No shit Sherlock! Any engine can be reliable if you do maintenance on it. My crap Chinese engines for motorizing bicycles can run great for thousands of miles if you do maintenance on them. By the way, how the hell do you get offended by innocent comments anyway? Where in my original comment say anything about "I know everything about engines" or " Honda engines or terrible"? It was a simple comment. It wasn't even classified as funny and I know that. Some peoples kids man. They never shut the fuck up.

[@jankristensen7884]

wow, want one here in Norway

[@LooseGravel14]

The Wright brothers didn’t use a car engine, they built their own.

[@brettoberry3586]

It was designed and built like a car engine of their time. They would have purchased one if it met their goals AND an auto company would have sold them one. "There were many automobile manufacturers who could have met their specifications, but since the brothers were asking for only one engine to be produced, it was not profitable for the larger companies." wright.nasa.gov/airplane/eng03.html

[@samualwhittemore228]

EN Austin This is a kit plane --- YOU can build your own. That would be great!

[@ljprep6250]

$17k for the Honda engine is "keeping the price down" ?

[@boots_n_coots]

A guy DONATES a beautiful interior and you didn’t even give him a mention? C’mon guys...

[@boots_n_coots]

Grazie!

[@BobbyTucker]

Maybe you should watch the video once more, I caught the mention and heard it very well.

[@MrThuggery]

He actually didn't say his name just where he was from? correct? And I don't think you hand the camera close enough to his face....

[@jcz232321]

He did NOT "plug" the company that made and donated the interior.

[@johncarr123]

That is what I was thinking. Hard to think sometime under pressure of an interview. Thanks for posting the link. Great job Jan!!

[@marcioinfante4941]

Congratulation !!!!!!!

[@scowell]

Wright Brothers did *not* use an auto engine... ignorance! The Wrights built their own engine, the first aluminum-block engine. Wright eventually became an engine company.

[@richmonsmith9308]

scowell I'd say to you sir you may want to go back and re...listen. perhaps carefully this time. He did not say they used a auto engine. He was making a point they wanted to but didn't. Before u sling some ignorance yourself...probably double check your facts.

[@scowell]

04:15... you can't hear that? Turn on subtitles, it hears it too.

[@basmatikartoffenadventuret6131]

this is nice

[@Sch00lbu5]

I'd like to see how that airplane gets off the ground

[@Hyperious_in_the_air]

So since this is a Honda V6, can you use bigger bolt-on turbo kits for it?

[@alvarobernalrestrepo426]

Hola Buenas tardes. Y para quienes no tenemos un buen nivel de ingles, cuando tendremos aviones, planos, instrucciones y videos en español. Creo que la actual situacion del Covid 19 ameita que Zenith decida tener clientes hispanos. Es una forma de crecer y expandir sus operaciones en paises de habla hispana. Saludos

[@59vaughn]

Super nice...

[@OYRRV]

Ups - Viking?... Sounds like Eggenfelner is behind. Is he delivering what you have paid for?

[@HIHaiki]

Also with a mass produced car engine no "aircraft mechanic " will charge 20k to overhaul or thousands to fix an injector or so

[@dank630]

I have over 20,000 hours but only an hour or two of General Aviation time - at first glance this airframe looks like it needs more rudder and more vertical stabilizer surface ... can you speak to that ?

[@zenithairco]

Virtually the entire vertical tail is the rudder so it is indeed a very large effective rudder with more than adequate rudder authority (especially important at low speeds). For more about the unique design features of the Zenith STOL airplanes, see the article by designer Chris Heintz: www.zenithair.net/high-lift-design/

[@gtgodbear6320]

Why don't none of them use the Civic Type R engine. It's 300hp factory. The L15's and R18's are ok. But that k20c would be a whole nother experience.

[@27Zangle]

Problem with car engines is they are not designed to sit at 70% throttle for hours on end.

[@johnnyj540]

Tricycle landing gear on a STOL, oh OK I'll take it.

[@MrSmith-ty4bg]

eBay “Tanaka” harness’? For real?

[@ealvy04]

Third seat ,led light bar,swing arms great features Unfortunately the focus of the video was stolen once the women in the Viking attire appeared

[@martyx2350]

Nice man but gee whiz... Show the aircraft! All i saw was a nice guy who owns a cool airplane.

[@usmcmma]

Did he say Honda Civic engine?

[@Mike-iy7bk]

yes it is.

[@robertlafnear4865]

If i could just SEE the PLANE !... I'm a bit dizzy.

[@sandybanjo]

Powder coating.......how interesting! What does that do to the empty weight? Also, the FAA is way behind the time with the super experimental today......even cars are ahead of aviation......of course.....it's the way the govt works.

[@grudgemonkey6468]

Super Doody

[@juancastellano1948]

Very beautiful, i like very muhc.

[@billcallahan9303]

I like it all except the tricycle gear. A plane like that screams taildragger.

[@bill2292]

STOL and huge tires and yet it's a nose wheel airplane....... ???
