!!!!!!

Canton is only a 40 minute flight from Arlington. It would be a good thing to see if a 150/150TD is a good fit for Carlos' runway.

I think it just might be...

That Grant is a smart fellow, I never mentioned who was coming !

Carlos, I'd suggest you to look into Zenith's CH750 STOL. It has similar performance characteristics to the C150 with one big difference, 100ft roll/run.

Thanks Venko. I've been following the Zenith for many years since the 701 came out but they used to make it with that center yoke only and that was a deal breaker for me. I believe they have a dual control option now which is good. Problem is that I don't have the expertise to build one myself and for what people are asking for one already built I can easily buy a 150/150.

When you meet Gary, ask him what he thinks of Zenith aircraft .

And ah, forewarned is forearmed...Note: [Linked Image]

Now I'm intrigued of what he has to say about +Zenith

Gary's post in THIS THREAD expressed his opinion of Zenith aircraft.

Personally, I knew the pilot (Robert Dodson) whose crash/death was mentioned in This Article . His Zodiac 601 broke up in-flight due to fluttering. It was a factory-built demo plane, so it's not like Robert didn't build it correctly.

How in the world do you remember things like this, Hung? I still want nothing to do with anything Chris Heinz is/was a part of.

I will, however, publicly back-pedal on my Champion spark plug stance, though. I really like the current crop of Tempest plugs. I now have some Champions in the fishing tackle box.
