I used to be with "it", but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me.

It'll happen to you!

CH-801 from Zenith Aircraft company, a homebuilt/kit aircraft manufacturer located in Mexico, MO.  I took a tour of their facilities a couple weeks ago.  Nice people, nice place.  Their STOL aircraft, like this 4-seat 801 and the two-seat 701 and the recently developed 750 have incredible STOL and rugged field performance.  Y'all should see their videos on their website.  It's an interesting looking plane, for sure, one that some say only it's mother could love.  Thanks to Joyce Fort at Zenith for the tour and for her hospitality. 



Note the fixed slats that help give the incredible STOL performance.

Saw these yesterday in Sonoma -- I believe the Bucker is a fairly rare sighting: completely original aircraft, too.

Thanks! -- we were there from about 1:30 until sunset around 4:15-4:30... and the sun is behind you from the access spots.

Fly in on New Year's Day as apparently there is an informal gathering then  Cool... I'm going to try to check it out at least.

There are two Nanchangs based at Petaluma, I believe. And others come down to play often - and practice some formation flying.

I might be flying there for lunch, not sure what Im flying yet, I might take a Marchetti SF260 so keep a look out for either a dark blue Marchetti or a blue and white Citabria if your shooting there on Sunday.

New tow plane feature lets copilot sit outside on wing, better view stated on marketing materials.
