Lets Spin a Zenith CH 750 Cruzer, It's Fun!

Demonstration of a spin entry and recovery to a fully developed spin in a Zenith CH 750 Cruzer. Aircraft behavior is very predicable and easily controlled. So, let's go for a spin shall we?

Great video. I always tell myself, "Our 801 could handle it," but then I read a testimony from a builder who blew out several rivets from his rudder doing an agressive spin entry, so we haven't tried it.

Amazingly well done and explained. I am only watching and I can't keep my cool as you do doing it! Great video

[@GWMotley1]

Thank you very much.

Forward stick - opposite rudder! When I was learning in the 60's. Looks like it still works!

[@aaronhirko503]

I did it in that order in a C152 before and forward elevator first aggravates the spin, stop the rotation before breaking the stall.

I love the calm voice while you do this, can't say I feel and sound that way despite having done quite a few of them. Guess more to practice :-)

Beautifully done and explained.

great flight, have fun uncle🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️👏

[@edwardkelly5625]

VERY NICE...THE 750 CAN DO IT ALL...

[@deerranch6560]

That was absolutely amazing, could you explain how to recover without panicking please. 😅😅

[@charosenz]

Thank you!! great vid. If by chance you make another one it would be interesting to hear you narrate your control inputs during the spin....

[@gyrodeputyowl1711]

well done and presented. I just wont do them. Hate any kind of aerobatic type maneuvers....puke...lol

[@fernandocs4783]

Very nice videos, thank you. Keep them coming. I do have a question about the Cruzer. I believe you previously built a Sonex. Can you let mo know which kit you consider to be easier to build, particularly for a first time builder? Thanks.

[@GWMotley1]

The Zenith was easier for two reasons. The first is the Zenith was a matched hole drilled kit whereas the Sonex was not at the time I built it. Second, having built one airplane already which required considerable fabrication the match hole kit was a breeze.

@@GWMotley1 thanks!

[@fernandocs4783]

@@GWMotley1 And I take it your view is the same, even with the new Sonex B models, right? Thanks again. I think I'm leaning to Zenith, and probably a cruiser although I'm still thinking about the 750 SD.

Barely even spins, kinda just goes into a rolling dive it looks like... 🙂👍
