The owner and builder of this aircraft is an aviation artisan. What a unique and beautiful build and he has achieved that faithfulness to that look and feel of the pre-war era. Absolutely superb👍
Beautiful aircraft, craftsmanship is flat out amazing. Details and functionality. Woodwork is superb. Amazing aircraft a work of flying art. I’m in awe .
Really excellent attention to even the smallest detail! Not only are the aesthetics beautiful, the details such as the cabin fresh air vents, the landing lights, the nose wheel modification and the interior placarding are exquisite. That aircraft has a lot to be proud of, superb craftsmanship, engineering excellence, a magnificent eye for detail, it's all present and correct!
You are probably right....it was extremely WARM that day! Happy to hear you made it out to the show. Thank you for watching and engaging here. I appreciate you!
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel I wish I could but I will never be able to do that now, I should have done that years ago, but I have no space to build one anyway. But I am very fussy in my own way and if someone is helping me I just can't put up with half done or roughly done things, do it right or don't bother, that is me in a nutshell.
3:35 I love the box to hide the soulless /fun suckin screen lolz. So many others so proud of spending money on them But this guy gets it!! Fly while Looking outside at beautiful creation instead of dang screen 🫡🫡🫡
Wow - thank you for all your hard work putting this fine video together. Amazing craftsmanship and a great character. How I miss my flying days - may they return soon! Many thanks and cheers from Sydney, Australia - Dave
Bryan: Please give some thought to providing a Clip-On microphone for your Interview folks to use. The other Tennessee interviews (Arian Lightning) featured a completely different audio level between you and the company co-owner. I kept turning up the volume to hear him then risking eardrum damage when you were speaking. Ouch!
Lot's of good ideas here that could be incorporated into the production kit for sure. But... that is also what EXPERIMENTAL aviation is all about. Thank you for watching! I appreciate you.
What a craftsman! I love what he has done with it and thanks for sharing! Did you happen to get any footage backed off so we can see the whole plane at once?
He did an excellent job didn't he. I apologize but I did not get those shots for you...this time. Next time I will be sure to. Thank you for following along and taking the time to watch!
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel I've loved planes and flying since I was a airport rat back in the60's...I would bug pilots to death..lol..they would send me for burgers, let me wash and polish their planes..and eventually taught me to fly and let me ride in the coolest old planes imaginable (antique plane airport) I was the luckiest little guy around...and I want a 701 bad!!
You never backed off and gave us a full view of the plane. I was waiting all video for a complete view of a beautifully built crafty. I'm pissed. Vinny 🇺🇸
You know what........ YOU are absolutely correct! I totally missed that. I don't normally do "flight line interviews" and there were aircraft coming and going around us leaving the show. So I spent a lot of time close up. Noted for future. Sorry about that. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. See you in the next videos!
So you watch a well produced and entertaining 12 minute expose of a beautiful plane generously provided with significant effort at no cost to you, and you are pissed about something AND you make it known publicly. Shame on you - entitlement on steroids.
No no no... DO... TRY THIS AT HOME! hah! That is the whole point! Now.... you go and pick out an airplane you like and start building your own... then call me up so I can come interview you and YOU can inspire someone else to start building as well!
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel Sure . I mean, modifications this grate man done to the 701 airframe are way above abilities of an average builder IMHO. And after all, looks like we are missing very important information here - empty weight, wing span(if increased) .

YES. You are exactly right. Please accept my apologies. I don't typically do "Flight Line" reviews and this was parked among other aircraft on the line and didn't make for good camera angles. But I should have taken a few regardless. Noted. Thank you for the critique. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel I share your enthusiasm for aviation and besides wanting to see the whole thing it was a very good video. I really did enjoy watching. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Experimental Aircraft Channel I did a quick tour of Alaskan Zenith 750 builds and posted on Zenith’s web site a couple years back, I thought about flying around interviewing builders.
No joke. Nothing to hide. Just me doing a "Flightline" interview with not really any good camera angles keeping others out of it. My apologies for not having a FULL VIEW ANGLE for you to enjoy this brilliant creation. Won't happen again I assure you. :-)
I usually don't say this about aircraft but damn that is one UGLY airplane!!! I don't mean just the way this guy built it,it's ugly in general.You couldn't give me that aircraft...
Personally I would feel quite "blessed" for anyone to GIVE me anything. And if it was an AIRPLANE.... WOW! I would feel like I just won the lottery. I mean really.... how many people on earth own airplanes? If I didn't like the "look" or performance of that aircraft yeah... I might sell or trade it. The Zenith sort of has to grow on you. It is a bit more of the "Function over Form" thinking. But now having stared at it for many hours building one of my own... I appreciate it's unique "FORM" as well. This Channel, and the brand "Experimental Aircraft Channel" exists solely to Motivate and Inspire individuals to get into building, repairing or flying aircraft. Help me to get more people EXCITED about our community and join us in building. Thanks for taking the time to watch... I appreciate your time and support.
Not once did you back off a few feet to show the complete airframe. Wtf? I watched tge whole video and have no idea what a 701 looks like boy to say tge least you were ontop of it
Mark Phillips is a true craftsman. That Zenith is a work of art.

Isn't he! Full of smiles...always! Thank you for watching!
I really enjoy this format of getting to know the builder and the plane. Great job!
Well.... Thank You. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and also engaging here to support.
Incredible detail.
A+ workmanship
Talented man for sure
YES. For sure! And what a great guy to know as well! Thank you for watching!
I think with the heat index. That it was 106°F that day. But so glad I was there. Alot of great people !!
You are probably right....it was extremely WARM that day! Happy to hear you made it out to the show. Thank you for watching and engaging here. I appreciate you!
What a beautiful plane.
That build was detailed with owners improvements. Beautiful plane! Thanks for the video.
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching and supporting here!
Trophy wall!!!!! EPIC!!!
He's like me, just a tad fussy and wants things the way he wants it to look and feel. Cool guy. Ain't it a nice looking plane though?
For sure! Hah! Are you fussy? Get your "Fuss" on and build you an airplane just as nice! Thanks for watching!
He has a wicked sense of humor, too.
@@simeon2851 Yeah, just like me, but I could believe that he has a wicked sense on humour. Laugh life through, way to go.

Wonder how heavy it is? Imagine it’s a single place to stay within wt limits...
Wouldve been nice to see the whole aircraft. Next time do a walk around of the whole plane. I feel like you didnt ever show the plane as a whole.
YES. You are exactly right. Please accept my apologies. I don't typically do "Flight Line" reviews and this was parked among other aircraft on the line and didn't make for good camera angles.

Eye of the beholder! If I ever switch to fixed wing it would be a 701.
