A Zenith 701 with a Jabiru 2200 engine in take-off and flight. This is an example of how quickly it can get off the ground.

prototype flight testing the Zenith STOL CH 750 light sport utility (kit) airplane design.

Short take offs are difficult in high density altitudes. All three planes used flaps. It would be fun to see the same planes at or near see level on a cool day. Zenith Ch 801 Turbo, Piper Super Cub, Cessna Skyhawk 172.

Now that we finally got the fuel flows right this is our shortest take offs yet. We still have not had a chance to get down anywhere near sea level altitudes to see how she does in some thick air.
