About 800 Zenith 701s have been built and it is at a price-point where the owner of a small-town insurance agency could have one parked in his garage.<br /><br />There are better planes for the purpose, the Zenith 750 for instance, but there are not nearly enough of them out there.<br /><br />Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-53628371931391206772020-04-08T15:09:52.710-04:002020-04-08T15:09:52.710-04:00Yep, liking the way you're doing this!Yep, liking the way you're doing this!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-30157565621074780882020-04-08T09:46:48.507-04:002020-04-08T09:46:48.507-04:00Excellent!

The last several episodes I had been quietly thinking that rather than a certificated airplane at one end of the spectrum, or an ultralight trike at the other end, the perfect aircraft for their purposes would be a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA). Lightweight (less than 1300 lbs), very fuel efficient, and low stall speed. But I purposely refrained from commenting because I wanted to wait and see where the storyteller went with this. And here you come up with a Zenith 701, one of the best performing LSA's there is, and with some real STOL characteristics as well. Bravo, sir!<br /><br />And as icing on the cake, and a story twist I would not have anticipated, the pilot is a woman in her 70's. Well done!George Truehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352709031834067303noreply@blogger.com
