My Zenith CH650B taildragger flew for the first time yesterday and I was the sole occupant. It was a great experience. Many thanks to Chris Heintz for the great design, Zenith Aircraft Factory in Mexico, Missouri, for their great kit and support, and to Viking Aircraft Engines for an amazing engine!

Congratulations! I hope to make my 650 maiden flight in about 3 weeks and to look as good as you did on takeoff. Way to go!

Great first flight picture.  I am totally jealous.  I wish I had one like that!
Congratulations.
