Another 701 takes flight

After 4 years scratch building, 19-7105 Zenith 701 finally took to the skies today.

Peter and Danny have put a lot of effort into this plane. It is powered by a Suzuki 1300 with a Raven Re-drive.

There was a little bit of a problem with the aftermarket engine control computer that slowed the final flight down by a few days. After a bit of tweaking it took flight and completed a few circuits.

Now we can get back to work on the other XL 601 that we are also building.
