Merry Christmas everyone,

After 5 years of building my 601HDS and Corvair engine, I finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.  I had my airworthiness inspection last week which went extremely smooth.  So now, it is finally time to change my focus from builder to flyer.   Insurance requires me to have 3 hours of dual time before my first flight so last Sunday I drove 6 hours to Lawrenceburg, Tenn. to get it at Buzz Air Flight Academy. Not only did I get checked out in their 601, I had the most fun flying that I have ever had!   Up to this point, all of my time has been in C-172s and Warriors... the 601 seems like a sports car compared to those!  What a blast, Highly recommended!  I am now even more excited for my first flight in the next week or so.  

If any 601HDS flyers out there have an e-copy of their test phase or even Advice/Lessons Learned from their test phase I would appreciate it.

For those still building keep it up... believe it or not, all of those little parts will come together one day! 

Happy Holidays!

Hi Steve,

       

       If you have not yet done so I highly recommend you get a copy of       the FAA circular AC90-89A.  It has a great deal of information       about flight test.  I used to to get started testing my Zodiac XL       and think it was a great help.

Hello, Steve



First of all, congratulations, you have built one nice Zodie!

Second, thanks for the website link - the CH601-HD(S) websites are few, and even fewer have pictures of this quality and size!

  



Merry Christmas, hope the New Year will bring good weather for a first flight.
