This morning I found that my dad and I were internet stars in a video montage from this weekend's EAA fly-in at Farmerville, LA (Union Parish Airport / F87). Trying to evade as much of the heat as possible, we flew up there early and were the first arrival so the Papa Goose got video coverage at the fuel pump right at the beginning of the video.
We had to bug out before the P-51 arrived but we did get to see the low pass by the Air Tractor crop duster, complete with airshow…

On august 14th 2010 I made my first flight with my Zenith 601 xl-b. The flight lasted 45 minutes, remaining over the Winsted, Mn airport the entire time.

I was indicating 42 mph on the Enigma EFIS with no stall buffet being felt. the flight speeds were kept under 90 mph the entire time. The controls felt…

I am ready to fit my cowling to the airframe. The engine is offset 3 as is. The installation manual call for 1-2 degrees. How many folks shimed the mount to correct this before fitting the cowl> Should I leave well enough alone?

Just ordered my rudder kit for a 701. Spent the last 2 weeks scouring our small town for tools and ordering those I couldn't find. My plan at this time is to install a VW based engine from Great Plains w/ redrive. Would be interested in hearing from anyone who has installed this engine.
