Contributing Editor Rick Lindstrom’s Zodiac 601XL made its show debut at Sun N Fun this year. It represents the first of the new quickbuild kits from Zenith Aircraft to be completed. This 601 is powered by a William Wynne-modified Corvair engine driving a Sensenich wood prop.  Lindstrom says his 601 cruises at 105 knots while burning under 6 gph.
