I got a new toy

Postby Duck Rogers » Tue Feb 01, 2011 8:49 pm

I finally got a new toy this past Saturday. vhpy
It's a Zodiac CH701 "Skyjeep" that's very near completion. One wing still needs some fabrication and sheeting, flaperons and controls need to be constructed and seats, seatbelts installed.
Depending how much work I put into it, I should be in the air in a couple of weeks. Can't wait! vhpy vhpy
Pics show her already loaded on the trailer, minus the wings which are lying flat on the trailer.
Archie has done a great job in completing her this far.... (^^)

Awesome aerie!
Also astounded when I see the short field performance of the CH701!
No doubt a toy you'll enjoy!!
