Richard & Patty Lauzon live 90 km from the nearest paved or plowed road all year. This CH801 is their connection to the outside world. The camera used is a Panasonic DMC-TZ1. This tiny "pocket camera" has a 12.5X optical zoom that captures this aircraft departure from the terminal ramp. Cruise is 92 mph @ 2550 rpm burning 43 litres/hr with a fuel capacity of 225 litres.

No paint... it is used like a working man's pickup truck several days per week. You could say its a "Commuter Aircraft" ;>)
