Hey guys, if you’re looking for a great story about flying a 701 over long distance and mountains head over to http://www.ch701.com/stories/stories.htm
If you’re not working in your shop, then this beats sitting in front of the television. I have included the first paragraph below, the story is loaded with great pictures as well.
“I had been lying awake for some time, filled with anticipation of the long cross-country flight that would begin at daybreak. I would be flying to Casa Grande, Arizona home of the EAA’s annual Copperstate Fly-in. As I waited for the alarm to signal five a.m., my mind was going through the details of last-minute preparations. To avoid forgetting, I had taped the keys belonging to my experimental airplane, a Zenith STOL CH-701, to the I-com portable so that I wouldn’t take off with my back-up radio still sitting in the charger at the rear of my workbench. After going through the list of things not to forget several more times, my mind switched to the VFR routing that I had worked out the night before. I would be stopping only twice. The trip would be divided into three, three-hour legs. Beyond the first fuel stop there would be the mountains. My mind switched again. The last weather check before I went to bed included an AIRMET for moderate turbulence over high terrain. I would be traversing lots of high terrain.”
