Serial No. 7-1204 Zenith CH 701 485 empty wt. 960 Gross wt. Reg: N2701 Engine: Rotax Rick overhaul Redhead 582 DCDI "B" box, 70" IVO 2 bld gnd. adj. prop. For sale: $26,950 reduced to $24,950, reduced again to $22,950, then again to $20,950. Builder: Cliff Stripling (no longer fly, not test pilot) striplic(at)tetric.com 830 693 2386

FAA AWC received 5/28/2015. First Flight 7/26/2015: Purpose to establish reliability of the engine, flight instruments, performance, rigging, trim, control effectiveness and determine approach to stall speed.

Reported by test pilot: The engine ran strong throughout first flight. Typical climb and cruise rpm was 5800 with an indicated speed of 60 mph although some of the flight was done at 6000. Full power was not used except for lift off. Flight instruments operated normally. Rigging was normal with the exception of a very slight tendency to roll left. The pilot, battery and muffler weight on the left side of the plane likely causing that to happen. Centered electrical pitch trim required no input. Control input was smooth and control pressures were balanced. Approach to stall speed was in the low 30's mph. Elevator authority through landing flair under some power was effective. Total time in flight about 25 minutes. The test pilot has flown a second flight for about 35 minutes repeating mostly the first flight.

Airframe: Phase I 1 hr
Engine: (including break-in time) 3 hrs
