Hi Fellow Listers,



After 2 years of effort with a slow build kit, my Zodiac 19-5018, took to the air for the first time on January 11. The test pilot reported only a slightly heavy right wing. Details of engine temps, speeds and stall characteristics are on my website;

The link below is a short video of my XL taxiing back to the hanger after it's first flight (no sound);

I'd like to thank ALL on the LIST for their help and advice. Special thanks to Scott Laughlin, Bill Sewell and Lance Gingell for their web sites which where always very helpful when I got stuck.



Keep pulling those rivets, its so worth it,

Thanks guys,



The whole process has been a great experience and the plane flys like advertised, which is a credit to the team at Zenith.

Congratulations Eddie. Good luck with the rest of your testing.



I'm curious if you finished and installed your wing root fairings?
