Patrick, congratulations on many levels. I'd love to know what type of aircraft you used for your transition training.
Pat,
Very nice story. The EAA has been doing a much better job lately of covering practical and affordable aircraft. Even a short mention with a good photo like yours goes a long way to introducing new EAA members to Zenith designs. The story goes well with you and Mary flying the plane to both Oshkosh and the Mexico Open House last year. Hats off to the two of you.
For builders who are yet to meet Pat and Mary, there are more photos and an expanded story at this link:Patrick

Congrats on a nice article! That is one fine looking airplane!

Nice looking plane! Where did you hide the BRS? I don't see any indication that there is one installed.
