This morning at 9:45am, July 10th, N5880Z, a Zodiac CH650, flew for the first time. All went well and our Corvair engine performed very well.

I have spent the last month and a half working on my old Stinson, rather than my Corviar powered 601XL. Congratulations, and I hope to follow your good example within a year of three..............

Outstanding! Sounds like things are looking better and better every day for the Zodiac line.

Congrats from Idaho -- you Corvair guys are sure making the Corvair Auto Club unhappy!
They won't have any replacement engines left.
Ralph Nader's book "Unsafe at Any Speed", focused on the Chevrolet Corvair killing further production.
Evidently Nader didn't know what he was talking about as people are now flying behind them and the auto
is a highly sought after collector item!
