Hi Andrew, I'm sort of considering the Norden for a (sort of) bushplane, more specifically a mountain-plane and being in Europe it's one of the 'local' options. I'm now used to a Dyn'aero MCR01 Club for longer distance reasonably quick travel but (somewhat) less appropriate for flying (read: landing) in the mountains. What made you first choose the Norden but then apparently want to part with the Norden!? Thx for info.
145HP is quite a lot on an airframe with an empty weight of 930 pounds but yes more horsepower is always better! Zlin just delivered a Norden with an Edge EP 917Ti with 180HP.
All aluminum wing, electric retractable slats, massive double slotted flaps, deep chord frise ailerons, and carbon fiber drooped tips. The wing is a tour-de-force of STOL design and is a game changer for enhancing safety.
Impressive STOL performance guaranteed.
It could probably land backwards in a moderate breeze.
Wow! Slats! Fowler flaps! Omg!
Incredible labourous wing to make, must be expensive.

Hi, I was just taking video of someone else’s Norden. They have many other airplanes but very much enjoyed this one.
So true! I have a million dollar boat i built, and i don't dare run it much. Pretty sad actually.
Hope you sell if that is what you really want.
I get all that. Nice! Not sure I would fly my Ferrari out in the bush when there are a plethora of options out there.
But the Ferrari is the most fun! Isn’t that what aviation is all about? In this case fun and safe.
I am sure it's quite light but 135hp seems way too low. what would it do with 200hp?

@andrewmorris3479 ok, didn't know the empty weight. is it builder assist or certified?
@@SMcda It is an ASTM approved SLSA factory built in the Czech Republic.
Still available?
Yes.
Price?
$235K.
Way to expensive for what it is. Pretty much a Kit Fox.

why are you selling?
Because of the pop rivets
