"It is dependable and
honest, flies at 120 mph, operates easily and smoothly off of paved and
prepared runways, and will teach pilots good flying habits. There is
plenty of cockpit space and the baggage area is cavernous."

#2: EAA staffers building the STOL CH

PILOT
magazine, November 2012 issue, cover story: "Zenair CH 750 - A
kitplane with remarkable performance." Pages 50 - 56, cover story and
flight test review by Dave Unwin:
"The takeoff was
impressively brief, indeed we were flying also as soon as we started to
roll. ..visibility is every phase of flight really is excellent.
"I decided to hold the aircraft in a stall, and with the stick on the
back stop it simply sank straight ahead in a very stable condition with a
vertical speed of less than 500 fpm. You could ride it down to the
ground like this, and although you might burst the tires you would
definitely walk away. This is a very safe airplane."
"In conclusion, I was
hugely impressed by the STOL CH 750. In many ways an excellent example of
"function over form," its STOL performance is remarkable.
I flew it on a flat-calm day and was amazed at how little runway I used,
and this was the first time I'd ever flown one. I would imagine that with
a few hours on type, and say 20 kts on the nose, you could land (and
equally importantly - take off again) practically anywhere."
