Flying for fun! Nice demonstration of the Zenith STOL CH 701's off-airport capability. This is a standard tricycle gear configuration, taking off and landing on a rocky river gravel bar. Engine is the 100-hp Rotax 912 ULS.

Very nice film of a fun day! I'll bet the little one, throwing the rocks in the creek, loved it!
hey Jock yes the smiley face has always been there I put it on there the day of its first flight in NZ those who see it generally get a smile out of it and I am allways smiling while im flying the JUG so very fitting
More than a sky jeep!!
I love the smiley face underneath - is that just recent or was it on your plane at Omaka for the competition?
The short strip on the edge of the boulder bank looks OK, but I guess you/ someone checked / picked the bolders before you did the crossing?
Great video! I like that the child was practicing throwing rocks, getting ready for your next turn around the field :)
Excellent Dean, what river bed is it ??
I use big lightweight ATV tires on mine and they work great!........less than $100.00 each........just cut the knobs off and use a skinny rim(I narrowed some light weight aluminum racing rims 3".......this makes the ATV tire tall and skinny).........works well on the river beds in our part of the country.
Great video!......
Nice video; I think I can hear Matt's voice in the back ground?
Looks like fun!
