Here is a real product to wake up your Rotax 912 80 hp engine.
Failure of the Supercharger simply means you have to fly on the original 80 hp.

I have built two zenith kits in the past. My first one a ch701 was built in1991-1992. It originally was powered by a rotax 582 for about 300 hours. The 582 was replaced with a rotax 914 to give superb performance in the mountains where I live. I have put 1200 hours on the 914 now and I have nothing but good to say about the 701/914 combination. The airframe at 1500 hours is in excellent shape.
My second zenith is a ch801. It is completed and has been flying for about 125 hours…

The geese are back,
A few weeks ago the snow geese started to arrive in full force and spread out all over the valley in which I live. This started about five years ago and it seems more and more are joining the fray. Winter wheat planted in fall stands about two inches high at this time of year is tops on the menu. Flocks like the ones shown can destroy a field in one day, it is to the point farmers are planting more corn in place of wheat. Along with some corn my land is planted…

In Plane language would you guys explain what is going with Jabiru engines.
This brand has been used in Zenith aircraft for many years and personally have owned two.
Other than typical heating issues in new engines, I didn't know of other problems until this morning..

Anyone have experience with your 601 XL-B and snow loads ?
With this years heavy storms, I am concerned about the stress of two feet, maybe three feet of snow on the wings.
Cantilever wings , snow, over stress spars, weight of snow.

Christopher attended our regular Zenith Workshop earlier in the year,…

Just got the first review on a flying "Steel Bungee"
"Yesterday I flew Rick's 750 with the new spring and what an amazing difference!"
Mike
We now have a bunch of hours on our own "Steel Bungee" and also have the V-shaped nylon block milled flat. I have tried to introduce rudder flutter to see if I could loose the rudder at VNE and all other speeds but it is just fine.
The suspension is now actually moving up and down, rather than mostly being locked into the top…

I finally have finished all that can be completed here in my garage. Soon, I will move all the parts to Sunrise Beach airport, Texas, for re-assembly and to get ready for the FAA airworthiness inspection.
