    Hi there, I'm in view to acquire a CH750 with a Continental O200A engine already installed, question: is there a propeller for the best T/O short distances? The actual owner is not happy with the performance, maybe he does not know exactly what for is this type. Thanks.

    My 601xls was ‘factory built’ in GA in ‘06. It has the 100hp Continental. Flies excellent. Love the low wing, especially on surprise x-wind landings - which can put the ‘light’ in lightsport. Dual joy-sticks, full Dinon w/AP, plus redundant six-pack. Sweetest little airplane, easy to fly and own. Thank you CH!

  • @jeffreyhughes7107
    @jeffreyhughes7107 Місяць тому

    I prefer low wing but I am 6'4" and I currently have a '65 Cherokee 140. I feel okay in it but it feels like tight jeans and I was wondering if I would feel any different in the 650. I'm pretty sure the Cruzer would feel roomier with the bubble door option but I'm attracted to the 650's low wings and speed. How tall is Roger?

    • @brent1041
      @brent1041 Місяць тому

      I think the seats are more comfortable in my 601xl than in any Cherokee. Mostly from the added thigh support. The Cherokee is marginally easier to get in and out but not enough to matter for most. The zenith interior is actually a few inches wider but it’s still a small plane. The speed’s of all zenith aircraft are affected by engine selection. These aircraft really start performing at 120hp+

    • @sunmanav8
      @sunmanav8 Місяць тому

      Jeff, I was scratch building a 650 until I bought a 1969 PA28-140 back in 2016. I sold the Cherokee last year and am considering continuing my 650 build as a close in on retirement. I am 6'2" and have not yet taken a flight in the 650 but hoping to get a demo at Airventure this year.

Thank you for responding and congratulations on nearing the end of your career. I'm about 10 years out but I work in the film industry and these two strikes sucked the hope out of retirement.
