Ziroli Beech Test Flight

Postby Steve Vodrey » March 28th, 2017, 7:30 pm

I always had my eye on this project after seeing it at Pete Siggins house a while ago. Since then it has had several owners but after seeing it up for sale again I travelled to the edge of the known earth (Barrow in Furness) and struck a deal. At that point it had still not been flown.
Some modifications done but basically as it came. It was a bit windy on the day. More interesting flights two and three followed with an engine out each time but unfortunately not caught on camera.
Please excuse the software I used in the video edit that I used.
Here is the link:-

Thanks to George Fossil for helping me out and Richard from Falcon Aviation for taking the video on his phone.

Very nice Mr V , she seems to be a nice flier ,, perhaps a tad quick, but once you have the trotters retracted and a bit more stick time you can slow her up a bit. Seems to ground handle ok so you must be pretty happy with it!!
D7 next ??

Thanks Andy.
With the engines sorted out and retracts air leak fixed I finished the test flights OK and got the paperwork through.
Needing some decent weather now to fly the Beechcraft and other toys new for the season.

Thanks Rob.
It goes ok. All test flights done now. There was a leak on the air system that cost me a couple of props but all repaired now.
