Zenith 750 Cruzer, Fabricating the root wing angle

Precision flight record: STOL CH 701

Last weekend, on September 7 and 8, the nationwide meeting of UL 2024 pilots took place at the Łomża Jeziorko landing site in Poland. After the conference part, in the afternoon, it was time for practical flying activities. A gate was prepared at the landing site and anyone willing could demonstrate their piloting skills.
