    SWS Zenith CH-701 for MSFS2020

    Normally, I have no problem with saying something, but thats not the case here. Several months ago, I was approached by sim works Studios to do the flightt model for this little plane. Naturally I accepted and well, its been a wonderful journey. The problem is, I'm reaally badx with descriptives. I meqn, really really bad, So I decided that this time I would let the gauges in the plane tlk for me, from take off to gliding touchdown on an exact point on the runway, and everywhere in between. I hope you all enjoy our humble work.
    Your friendly neighborhood sorceress
    Pam

    PS. Its available through the marketplace.

    It's my go-to plane Pam, any without doors. I have to admit I had to take the .cfg to another folder and kick out the co-pilot, he was messing up my starboard view and hogging the control stick.

    This is a whole new Flight Model for it.. I just passed it off to Alex yesterday morning so itll get included in the next update.. leading edge slats are back in and working, Pitch stability has been drastically improved, but not so much as it flies like a tank.. Glide slopes more closely follow published data as well, allowing pinpoint control on laanding ( with prctice ) and complete control over your rate of decent via AOA ( within reason. I recommend trying to glide the plane above 40mph but at less that 60mph as that raange allows for the best control wihout going so fast you bypass your landing zone, nor go so slow you stall) .. OH! And as you saw. initial climb rte is 2000 FPM @ 60 MPH.

    cant blame you with the copilot.. Tossed mine out in Okavango and never looked bacck..

    Thanks Tom.. I love that old piece of music and it seemed to fit so well with the laziness of the flight. I wasnt sure if anyone would still recognize it or not ::lol::

    SWS is trying a pricing experiment. The Zenith CH-701 is on sale for a mere $2.49 from SWS's website this month, and soon will be $2.99 on the MSFS Marketplace.

    It's a really nice plane, fantastic for bush flying!

    https://simworksstudios.com/zenith-7...-for-msfs.html

    Obviously this is a double win:

    1) Your chance to grab a great add-on plane for the price of a bottle of soda.

    2) If enough people do this to make it profitable for SWS, we might see future huge discounts on planes that have been on the market for a while.

    I bought it too! I found the marketplace price a bit too steep.

    I'm guessing the Marketplace price will drop on Thursday's update. If it's also Xbox-compatible, I might actually buy it a second time. Be worth $3 to have a great STOL plane for the Xbox version, since I do that occasionally.

    aha, my old paints are easy to adapt

    Still ~$30 on Orbx, so picked up from the source. It's not something I normally fly, but it's worth the price just to add variety to my ground traffic.

    Oh, awesome, Jan Kees! I love this plane, but it's been sorely light on good paints.

    I've been flying C-IMEM...

    https://flightsim.to/file/51617/zenith-ch701-c-imem

    ...because YouTuber MMatt just got a 701 and has been posting some fun videos as he gets a handle on it.
