I did circuits, Stalls and cruised around for 1.5 hours with 2 people and full fuel. It was great. It sat on 110 knots would go to 120/ 130 KIAS easily in the cruse with the Jab3300. No Flutter he now has 80 hours on his and is going away next weekend on his second major X country. He is very happy and So am I. Its a great 2 seater local and X country plane. So far this week In Australia I have seen a Cessna, a Piper and a Robin all crash but no XL. Not to say it cant. Chris.

I have around 500 hrs in 601 variants , 125 in my current home built 601xl, and as a uk laa inspector have overseen a good many. I have to agree with the other guys replying to your question , they really are the gentlemans arm chair , i have the tail wheel version . i can only give it the thumbs up . As for the wing folding !!!!!!!. its always there in the back of my mind , and it probably is the rear spar attach , i give mine a real good check over before and after flight, but all we can do is wait and see ? . personally i would like to see some more testing by CH , manufactured on the ground , trying to simulate what could be happening , with the resultant wing fold. i just hope that now the 650 is in production this on going problem dosent get put to the bottom of the pile . ps give me a call .
