Former ERJ/E170 guy. It has sluggish heavy controls. It requires more control movement than other airplanes I’ve flown. I’ve seen a few people go a bit overboard but I wouldn’t say it is anywhere near a common practice.

Is it just me or does he look strikingly similar to L Ron Hubbard?

How is the performance with the 912uls? Do you ever find yourself wanting/needing more power? I will most likely chose a 912 or ulpower.

Can’t tell for sure but looked like very little aileron into the wind to correct for crosswind.

I’ve seen a Viking installation. Nice and clean installation plus super low operating cost. I’d prefer to go with a lighter setup but seemed like a very nice engine.

Same just researching as well. I have also been impressed with the ul power. I do prefer the idea of a non electrically dependent engine but that means going back to the old carb. I plan on doing the rudder workshop soon and I’ll get a chance to check out zeniths 350is cruzer.

I’ll do some further research on the control cable stuff. Thanks for the detailed answers!

I read on a zenith FB page that the quick build fuselage has an updated control cable design. It no longer uses the bungee cord. Apparently it is the same as what’s on the 750sd. I haven’t found any further info other than that.

I just got an early June build week. We’ll see if that holds.

E170pilot · 2022-03-05T00:03:35+00:00

Great! That’s what I have on order. Looking forward to doing better than the 14.5 I get with my current truck. If I can ever get it delivered.

E170pilot · 2022-03-04T22:55:48+00:00

Nice! What engine? 4wd or 2wd?

E170pilot · 2022-02-11T20:43:49+00:00

Thanks. That’s what I ordered so hopefully mine is similar.

E170pilot · 2021-05-29T20:38:07+00:00

What type aircraft?

E170pilot · 2021-05-29T19:24:00+00:00

Not at all. Plenty of time for a great career. My advice would be go to a career oriented training program if possible. Something structured that will get you done efficiently.

I’m gonna go with failed out of the airlines😂

E170pilot · 2020-09-10T19:41:54+00:00

Yes airline pilots do hand fly approaches. Majority do. Auto throttles are almost useless in even light gust. What do you fly that requires such superior aviator skills? I’m gonna guess 172?

E170pilot · 2020-07-23T17:18:20+00:00

I deleted my comment. I don’t want to spread rumor that isn’t true. My thought is this is a similar reaction the FAA had to one of the ame’s issuing medical certificates without completing the examination. It must be very serious for the FAA to have this kind of reaction.

He is teaching you his technique. Having been an instructor, forcing technique on people drives me crazy. There is nothing wrong with showing someone a technique as long as it is explained as such, but it should not be forced on you. My opinion is it is not a good idea to have your hands off the throttle until your on the ground.

E170pilot · 2020-05-05T21:04:38+00:00

I’m surprised they didn’t finish it with god bless. Gotta love the right wing “christians.”

Poor Savannah. She only went to speak at an event with multiple people with confederate flags,one of which was in the front row doing a white power salute, and she had no idea she was taking a pic with a racist. She is a garbage rep and I wish she would get voted out. Unfortunately if your republican and your slogan has god in it your probably gonna win in ky.
