You guys may have seen this 701 on UTube, but I missed it.

I didn't know it would do that, plus I'm not sure I would even try.

Plus, here's another longer one.

There's a photo on the Zenith Website showing a Swedish 701 just about to nose over and it says "Don't try this at home" Interesting that they'd post it...

I hate for my first post on this forum to be negative, but the roll demonstrated on the You Tube video wasn’t much of a roll. The aircraft nose is pointed down as the plane is inverted and he finishes the roll about 90 degrees off his initial heading. I also wonder how many Gs he pulled to get the nose level at the end of his roll. It is hard to estimate his altitude, but how many mistakes high he was flying? The 701 is a tough little plane but the wing is probably not the best for inverted flight. It takes a significant push on the stick in a Decathlon or Pitts to keep the nose up while inverted with their symmetric wing, must take a massive push with the 701. Sometimes “Don’t try this at home” actually means, “DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!!”

Interesting video,    the roll and  loop were fun to watch but what was VERY interesting to me was the  impression that this aircraft has a longer wing (the "European" version I've  been told).

   I ask every few months in case a new member  has some info.

  

 Does anyone have any information on the  construction of the longer wing??

 I have been told (by someone that has looked at one  carefully)that a simple increase in span OUTBOARD the struts was done with NO  change to the web,caps,skins, ribs ect.,just the addition of one extra  bay.

 Can anyone add to that info, or throw cold water on  it?
