First Flight Report:
"On Friday Morning February 11, 2011 at about 7:15 AM I took off
for the first time in N949TF from St. Louis Downtown Airport (KCPS)
using runway 12R. My intent was to do a fast taxi, liftoff and
touchdown and then go back for the actual takeoff. Had a light
tail/crosswind and when I lifted of I was uncomfortable with the
drift and just firewalled it and climbed out. Flew for between 45
min and an hour and the first landing was very nice. Tim Finley"

Brent Battles with his Zodiac:
"My Zodiac continues
to perform perfectly after 620 hours, 1,088 landings, and having
flown 214 different passengers not counting repeats. I wish I could
rationalize building another Zodiac but I'm too happy with my
faithful friend."

"The
Zenith literature package is easily the most complete package I
have received from any light aviation company, and I've seen
many other good ones among the hundreds I have studied. Lots and
lots of information is presented with some lovely graphics. The
literature alone is impressive, but the volume of information will
keep you reading for hours. You can get a good idea of what you're
buying without ever leaving your chair."
