First flight: Zenith CH650 RG (retractable gear)

Comment
I would like to know what the gains in cruise speed were for this. Folks I'm discussing this with are arguing that "it doesn't make enough of a difference to add retractable gear to a high-drag airframe that has a cruise speed of 120kts." To which I always say - any less drag is... well.... less drag. It has to help SOME... I would like to know what cruise speed this plane is able to achieve so I can have actual data to argue with. Does anyone know?
Very good. Where did it go?
Wow
What's the speed?
Wow! That is Excellent!
Awesome!
That is so cool! Looks like a Japanese zero coming in on a strafing run. After I finish my cruiser, the 650 RG might be my next challenge.
very nice !
While a fly-by is an inspiring view, some of us techie geeks want to see a video of the gear cycling and the internals so we can see the engineering marvels that make this thing work! :-)
Wow, that's impressive! Congratulations!
extremely promising, congratulations...
