Flying the Zenith CH701 STOL known as the 'Sky Jeep'
This channel is about my experiences flying the Zenith CH701 STOL aircraft, with it's short take-off and landing characteristics, slow flight, dependable performance. Being a low-time pilot, with 200 hours in my log book as of Sept. 1st, 2024, I am still learning the skills to fly into remote or undeveloped airstrips.
I've just started recording video from my flights, so follow along as I continue to develop my flying skills, and experience adventures from a whole other perspective.

Skykomish Sunrise Part 2 - Flying Stevens Pass
In this video I return from Skykomish State Airport (S88) to Cashmere (8S2), via Stevens Pass. This is a common route for VFR flights over the Cascades. This time the year, the Fall Colors are at their peak, and the best way to see them is from above.

Skykomish Sunrise - Skykomish State Airport
Просмотров 1572 месяца назад
A Skykomish Sunrise could be the name of the fly I used to catch my first Steelhead on a fly rod in the Skykomish River, or it's a clear morning at the Skykomish State Airport. The Skykomish State Airport is a grass strip close to the town of Skykomish WA. It is known to be an Alternate Airport when flying over Stevens Pass, if the weather closes in on a VFR flight, or other circumstances requi...
Icicle River Run
Просмотров 962 месяца назад
The Icicle River located in the Cascade Mountains of North Central WA State runs next to the Enchantment Mountains. This area is a rugged mountainous area that is to be respected by pilots when flying through as a route across the Pacific Divide. If you continue up the Icicle you eventually come out on the Southwest side of Stevens Pass. The other route is to follow Hwy 2 to the same place on t...
Entiat Float Fly - Model Aircraft Event
Просмотров 802 месяца назад
This is the event I mentioned in the Early Morning to Stehekin video. It's an annual event hosted by the Red Apple Flyers model airplane club, from East Wenatchee. It has been going on for over 30 to 40 years, and is attended by hobbyists from all around the region. A lot of the models are of scale airplanes, but you never know what you'll see at this event, even a pelican or two.
Landing at Lake Wenatchee - Bumpy is the 'Word of the Day'!
Просмотров 442 месяца назад
In this episode we are headed over to Lake Wenatchee State Airport. This airport is primarily known as an alternate for going and coming across the Cascades, due to its bumpy surface, density altitude, and being surrounded by trees. It is also strategically located for wildfire operations, and used by those with property around either Lake Wenatchee or Fish Lake to the north. As I mentioned in ...
Zenith CH701, OneBravoZulu - Stehekin State Airport - Approach and Landing
Просмотров 1702 месяца назад
After a 25 mph headwind coming up Lake Chelan, I finally made it to Stehekin State Airport. This is the final approach and landing, after flying over and maneuvering to line up for the Final. Looking into the sun on the downwind was challenging, but once I made the corner, it was just a matter of following my shadow in.

This video is from part of the flight back to Cashmere from Stehekin. I need to clarify that the Lake is Domke Lake by Lucerne, and the road does lead up to Holden Village.
Zenith CH 701, OneBravoZulu - Early Morning Flight to Stehekin
Просмотров 692 месяца назад
This is my first flight, first time there, and first airport that you can't reach by driving there. Unless you start out in Stehekin with a car. Even though I had a longer flight there than I expected, which contributed to not having enough battery in the cockpit camera, I have to say I wasn't disappointed. I expected the approach on 31 to be a dog-leg through the trees, and it was. I'm sure th...

In this video I flew in to Tieton State Airport, with my good friend and aviation resource, Doug Stewart. Without Doug's support, I probably wouldn't have made the transition from flying ultralights, to getting a pilots license. Follow along with us as we fly from 8S2 to Tieton State Airport, on the shoreline of Rimrock Lake, in the vicinity of Mount Rainer. Listen to the good conversation abou...
4 Position Flaperon Control
Просмотров 423 месяца назад
I knew there was 4 position flaperon option from Zenith, but I hadn't seen one until we flew in to the Concrete, WA fly-in. After seeing how smooth it operated, I knew it was an upgrade that needed to be done.

Grouse Springs Loop

In this video, I flew up to the top of the pass where we like to camp in September. I then dropped into the canyon that leads back to the airport. This is the canyon that was used in making a movie about WWII fighter planes. It's a scenic ride from over 6000 feet to the Wenatchee River in the valley below.
