Subject: | Safe ZODIAC XL flight behind a Corvair |
Here is a much needed news flash.
Today two pilots entered an experimental Zenith 601XL airplane powered by a Corvair
2700 engine, left the ground, and had a safe flight which included 3 intentional
landings and about an hour or so of flying. The amazing thing is the
Zodiac Canopy remained latched (original design), the wings also remained in
their original design location and the engine purred like a kitten. At no time
did we fly beyond the maneuvering speed of the aircraft
I want to publicly thank Dr. Gary Ray for a very enjoyable flight and conversation.
This is the very same airplane I am scratch building and it was just what I needed
to get me back at it.
