| Subject: | Lots of Zenith aircraft |
Gday,
The list is a bit quiet these days, so I'll share this adventure.
I recently visited Thailand, and was hosted by Champ, a frequent
contributor to this list. He was a great host, and drove me around to four
ultralight airfields around Bangkok.
At one field I saw 7 x 701's, 4 x 750's, and a 601XL. Peter has another 701
at home nearby, and Champ has two 701's under construction. Lots of
experimenters, several modified leading edges, only a couple still with
slats. Champ is building two sets of wings at once, one with a drooped
leading edge. Really interesting work, looking forward to the results!
That's the most Zenith aircraft I've ever seen at one airfield. Anyone
seen more?? Not nearly as many flyers as builders tho, so most aircraft
sit around most of the time, but that's not unusual anywhere......
At my home airfield, Kilcoy, Queensland, Australia, we have 6 Savannahs
(and possibly another coming), and one 701. Every Sunday we have at least
five of them flying.
Cheers,
JG
