Awww man, I wanted to see a dead-stick landing...! (I use to teach that both in daytime students and a very few of my night-training students back in the late '70's....) (In the C-150 acft at KFAY...)
What is amazing video Jan definitely risky yeah you can’t kill your engine too long It’ll crack the bl or other issues possibly but amazing what you do for your company and improving them wow just wow you def prove how reliable HELL way better then some other engine r I won’t say;-) your engines are awesome and amazing I love your engines ideas you have proven time and time again you have an amazing engineering mind!!!!! And company congratulations!!!!!🎉u sold me…
It was because a customer was arguing that he lived at higher altitude he couldn't get his engine started, when in fact it was related to something else. So this was to help and show him that it would start from cold at high altitude. It was later determines, there were many issues wrong with that individual installations.
@@eggenfellner Thanks for the reply. One great aspect of electronic engine management and fuel injection is ease of starting. Did not imagine it to have issues with starting, unless altitude is so high that air density is too low.
How much performance is lost on the engine at altitude, since it is turbo'd. I know a normally aspirated engine when towing an rv you can feel it losing power as you climb mountains.
This particular engine shown is not Turbo, our larger engine is. Like any engine at higher altitude our 130 will lose power, you won't notice it as much as an air cooled engine, but it still will. The turbocharged 195 performs best at altitude as far as speeds etc. great for those that live at high altitudes and do cross country trips.
It is brave, technical and with proper risk management. I can't believe this video only gets 42 likes.
That Zenith seems to have an amazing glide ratio..very impressive.
I really love the viking honda engine would love to have one.

Good video, & thanks for keeping us informed by the best of Zenith planes
NICE! Still looking for the Ch701 kit. Checked out a 70% complete build for sail. Owner/seller butchered the build. The quest continues.
Engine is impressive, but good god that airplane just wants to fly even without the engine, what is it's glide ratio
9to1
Viking to 17000 feet
Wow!!!
What was water temp at restart? Bet is was still nearly operating temp still. But that engine would start regardless
What's the purpose of waiting for the engine to cool down, Would it start at 4000 metres?
