Jim Pensinger's ZODIAC XL
(Afton, Tennessee):
"N250JP
first flew on
September
4, 2005
with no surprises. I
attended the Zenith
Rudder Workshop
the week before Thanksgiving 2004 giving a total build time of a
little over 9 months. The
engine is a
Jabiru 3300 with a Sensenich
wooden propeller. The
panel is IFR with a
Dynon
EFIS,
Grand
Rapids EIS and
TruTrak
autopilot. Avionics
include a Garmin 430, King KX125, King KT76 transponder and a
Jim
Weir kit audio panel. Fuel capacity is 48 gallons giving
range of 9 hours at 130 mph although I doubt that I will ever use
its full capacity!
"Many thanks to Zenith for the great design, helpful staff and
willingness to provide flying time while I was building."

"The
Zenith literature package is easily the most complete package I
have received from any light aviation company, and I’ve seen
many other good ones among the hundreds I have studied. Lots and
lots of information is presented with some lovely graphics. The
literature alone is impressive, but the volume of information will
keep you reading for hours. You can get a good idea of what you're
buying without ever leaving your chair."
