It was great to meet a few builders at the dinner. I would have appreciated if everyone at the dinner did a 30 second introduction to say who they are, if they are considering a Zenith project, building or flying and what model. Maybe next year. (N601RT, my CH601HDS, Rotax 912S, nose gear, now has over 110 hours since it's first flight on 5/12/03. I'm having a BLAST.)

Has anyone measured the thrust on their CH701? engine /prop combo, i can not seem to find any figures esp for the 912 and 912s Thank You --------------------------------- ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:14:56 PM PST US From: "Mark Townsend" <601xl@sympatico.ca> Subject: Zenith-List: : RE: Notes from the Oshkosh Builder's Dinner - 2003 --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Mark Townsend" <601xl@sympatico.ca> Michel, both David and I are sad you missed the Zenith dinner. We arrived late to the dinner but had a chance to meet with a few other builders, it is nice to place a face with the names, though name tags would have also helped. We were hoping that someone would have left a daily meeting place for a water but there was no list at the ZAC booth.

When I got closer, I realized it wasn't a 601. It was a CH150 prototype, fully acrobatic, made by Chris Heintz in June of 1980. I took some pictures for the curious, they are at www.liming.org/ch801/ch150.html It is graphics intensive, of course.

It looks like the same one in your pictured except the paint has been striped off it now. I have no idea how old this handout is but it has the Zipper and Cricket ultralights in it also. CH150 Acro A dandy little aircraft for the serious student in aerobatics. The Acro Zenith has strength for learning and competition (+ - 12g). Light on the controls and beautiful to fly. Discover how it does things best -Lady flyers especially will find its roll and pitch forces easy on the arms. Approved for all aerobatic maneuverers...fully inverted system. It will take engines from 115 to 180 HP and give marvelous inexpensive- ive flying to any aerobatic pilot. 150 HP and Ferry Tank Empty Weight 730 lbs Rate of Climb 2200 fpm Rate of Roll 180+ Deg/Sec Cruise 160 mph Jim Pollard ch601hds ea-81 coolant plumbing ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 09:14:38 PM PST US From: "Ed" Subject: Zenith-List: Zenith wing --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Ed" There's been a couple of comments lately and I can't remember who they were from, about the Zenith wing "running out of lift" at high altitudes. I thought at the time that didn't sound right and have had it running around in my head since then (lots of room) I seem to remember many years ago being taught that a flat plate will fly if you give it enough thrust...and that any wing will fly at any altitude provided you move it at it's designed indicated airspeed. I would suggest that the Zenith wing is no different in that with enough power at altitude it will keep climbing or producing designed lift until you run out of power to maintain the required indicated airspeed. In other words the power is the limiting factor...not the wing. Just thinking aloud. Ed 601hds/lyc Do not archive
