N877KK – Zenith STOL CH750 Super Duty

Exterior - 9.9/10 The aircraft is several months old and always hangared with barely 50 hrs on it, so the exterior is nearly perfect. The paint scheme and paint quality are excellent. Rivets appear to be professionally installed, and the aluminum is smooth and without any noticeable defects. During the aircraft evaluation, through careful scrutiny, I found only one issue: very minor hangar rash on the trailing edge of the right horizontal stabilizer which occurred prior to paint. This issue is so insignificant that most anyone would miss it. It is documented in the pictures below (but you'll have a difficult time spotting it, even though the picture is up close).

Panel - 9.9/10 Nice Dynon panel! Just about everything you could ask for is there. The Dynon Skyview HDX is the primary focus for the pilot, it provides all primary instrumentation output along with engine management features, fuel monitoring, ADS-B, etc. The autopilot is a real bonus for the pilot who wants to take this STOL aircraft cross-country. One of the best safety features of N877KK is the "Level" button: should a pilot get into an unusual attitude scenario, the Level button brings the aircraft back to straight and level. That could easily be a life saver.

Interior - 9.9/10 N877KK has very nice leather-like seats and beautiful carpet. You still get that "new airplane smell" when you open the clamshell doors. Seats are full-sized with excellent padding and 3-point harness systems. The pilot has a drink holder on the floor (see detailed pictures below), located close to the center of the seat - that's something that should be in every aircraft, yet you don't see it often. The baggage space behind the two seats is roomy and has a capacity of 100 lbs. The cabin is 42" wide, giving plenty of room for two people to be comfortable for a long time.

Safety Features - This aircraft incorporates several key safety features: (1) BRS Aerospace emergency parachute - similar to how Cirrus aircraft are equipped, N877KK contains a parachute which can be deployed in an emergency scenario, significantly reducing risk to the pilot and passenger. (2) "Level" button, tied into the Dynon avionics, which can recover the aircraft from an unusual attitude and place it into straight-and-level flight. (3) Sparco 3-point safety harnesses for both occupants. In addition, the aircraft also has dual throttles, a common control stick, and dual toe brakes, providing enhanced safety particularly during a training scenario where an instructor sitting in the right-side seat can easily control the aircraft.

Overall - If you prefer to fly sooner rather than spend several years building an aircraft, and if you want a new, pristine, well-built, highly capable STOL and backcountry aircraft with a new high-powered engine, this aircraft is for you. Reach out to me so that I may answer any questions you have.
