Zenith CH-750

[cub builder]

This isn't my plane. I've done several first flights in the planes I have built. I really wanted to post this as the gentleman that built, test flew, then made the video won't post it for himself. The video link here could be a training video about how to properly prepare for and execute a first flight. Also, enjoy the author's sense of humor in the video as well. I am really proud of the team in my EAA Chapter that helped the builder with the construction, ground testing and execution of the first flight.

CubBuilder,

Thanks for sharing. The big takeaways for me:

1. Transition training
2. You never build an aircraft by yourself. This is where EAA Chapters can really lend support.
