THIS IS HARVEY HOOD!

HARVEY IS A HAPPY "SPORTCRUISER" CAMPER!

If you own a SportCruiser then you also are probably feeling like Harvey Hood. Harvey has a big smile on his face and there is a good reason. On Sunday September 16, 2007, Harvey Hood walked away with two trophies at a Wings and Wheels Fly-In held just outside of Cleveland, OH. The first award Harvey won was the People's Choice award. And secondly, Harvey also won Best Factory Built Airplane. Wow! Two awards. We are impressed Harvey, but for some reason, we knew you would win. We at Sport Aircraft Works, Inc just wanted to say "Congratulations again Harvey" for your great insight and decision into purchasing a superior design and well made airplane from Czech Aircraft Works.

In preparation for my SC3 delivery in August, and in conjunction with my insurance requirement for a 5 hour checkout and sign off, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to do it in Arizona rather than fly all the way to Florida.

LSA Flyers is the dealer for Sport Aircraft Works for the state of Arizona. Owner Bob McKee is a licensed Sport Aircraft Repairman. They are currently using a SC1 for instruction and have a SC3 arriving in September. The CFI at LSA Flyers is Bill McKee (Bob's father is an ex U.S.A.F. instructor pilot with extensive experience.) While I come from a many motored-heavy metal aviation background, I do have a few thousand hours of instructor time in
them, and thus can appreciate a good CFI.

Not coincidently, I also took the opportunity to check out a brand new SC3 just delivered to them last week and went over it with a fine tooth comb (and digital camera) The improvements CZAW touts are definitely there. Lots of small ones, but most noticeable to me is the additional room in the cockpit and the adjustable rudder pedals.

If you are from the Western USA and are thinking you would like to get your checkout closer to home, I can heartily recommend you use LSA Flyers. Bill is a very thorough and patient instructor and more importantly, has over 300 hours in the SportCruiser and knows it's
handling characteristics down to a tee. BTW if you haven't yet flown it, it is indeed as sweet, if not sweeter than everyone has reported.

Aloha...

Just to give you all an update, especially those waiting for their plane...We (Chesapeake Sport Pilot) took delivery of our plane in early May. We put it into service about two weeks ago. We already have 58 hours on it. No problems and flys great. We have huge demand for the plane but we don't have enough instructors. I have hired two more instructors. We also need more planes so we ordered a second SportCruiser.

As for performance, I am seeing about 104-107 kts cruise. My prop seems to be heavily feathered which indicates more speed if set for a cruise setting. We are easily seeing 80 kts with a 500 fpm climb on 85 degree days. Stalls are as advertised, uneventful.

If you are waiting for your plane...keep drooling. This thing is everything we wanted!

It has been delivered! I picked up Chesapeake Sport Pilot's SportCruiser yesterday. We flew to Florida Wednesday night. On Thursday morning I flew with Jim (their check pilot) and went over the plane. Marketa and Bob Anderson had all the paper work ready to go. I was able to process the paper work, test fly the plane and hit the airways by 10:00 am. Unfortunately, the fires didn't want to cooperate. We flew from Indiantown (near West Palm) to Lakeland (near Tampa) to get around some IFR weather caused mostly by smoke. We flew north to Gainesville where we hit a wall of smoke. We then turned east and headed to Jacksonville. This is where the true test occurred.

Tropical depression Andrea was blowing strong. We landed at Cecil Field, runway 36L. We had a forty degree crosswind. Winds were 15 kts gusting to 31 kts at the time of landing. We landed without flaps. The plane flew great. We tracked the centerline the entire way down, flared, and put the plane on the ground without any problems. We were very impressed.

We then flew to Fayetteville, NC. When we pulled up to Landmark, the lineman said "is that a new Columbia." The attention was great!

With headwinds around 40kts out of Florida, the long range of the aircraft was a definite bonus. We than flew from Fayetteville to W29, our home base.

This was a long trip, mainly because of the zigzagging across Florida and Andrea's winds. We flew 4 hours legs. We burned about 5 gph at 5,100 rpm (I wanted to get home!). The plane was very comfortable. I have flown a lot of different aircraft, including many sport planes, and this was easily one of the most comfortable.

Some of the cool touches: map pockets for the pilot and co-pilot, box in the center console to hold stuff (i-pod), adjustable rudder pedals even in flight, great wing storage, very nice backlighting on the instruments, outstanding brakes.

Hello CZAW

I picked up my Sport Cruiser N-636SC at Sun N Fun this past weekend and flew it back to McKinney, Texas on Monday. The trip was 859 miles, took 9.4 hours with only 2 stops. One leg was 4.5 hours. The airplane exceeds my expectations. It meets or exceeds all claims and is a fine aircraft. In person it is bigger than I thought, more comfortable, and better looking. It was well worth the price and worth the wait.

• • • • •

For a change of pace, I wanted to report on the first 20 hours of flying in Sport Cruiser N 636SC. As I become more familiar with the characteristics of the aircraft, I become more impressed with the plane. I have found it both comfortable and amazingly "quick" from Point A to Point B. The slow flight envelop is really good as well. As an aside, the POH was very well done, and includes my exact panel on the information page for the panel layout. The CZAW folks have really delivered what was promised. It continues to exceed my expectations.

The only down side so far, is that its like Sun N Fun around my hanger. I continue to get numerous "drop-in's" every time I open the doors. I heard a rumor yesterday that 4 more are in Florida, with either 4 or 6 in route. Perhaps supply is starting to catch up with demand.

Thank you CZAW

I hope things went well at SNF.

We completed the JAR testing today at Cambridge. John Brownlow thinks the
SportCruiser is the best PFA plane he has ever tested. I sat in on the
testing as ballast and I have never seen a plane pushed so hard. We may get
some questions about the elevator trim (possible runaway) but that's all. The
word will soon get round. I let Marshall's chief test pilot fly the plane
also and he was full of praise.

Hi Guys,

Decided last Wednesday (20April)to go to Sun n Fun with Wife (Bank manager) met all the State side crew from SC and had a real good time. We were invited to Indiantown where they are based to fly the airplane they have, and after a pretty early start on arrival we were introduced to a Guy who was waiting for his SC to be delivered the next day.

Then I met Jim the SC demonstrator who pre-flighted the SC and invited me to join him for a fly. Well I didn't need asking twice!

We sat in the Massive cockpit and Jim reached over to a cable under my side of the dash and said "put a foot between the rudders and pull them back to suit your position. Two seconds later I am sitting very comfortably with the pedals very easily underfoot, simple!

After a long taxi to the runway which served as a nice warm up for the engine and gave Jim the time to run through the Dynon instruments for me we lined up on 13 and then Jim explained we were only going to use the first third of the runway (I thought he was just doing a clearing turn?)

Throttle open, just breath on the right brake to hold straight against the crosswind until the rudder comes in to effect and….. holy @&*%$ we are airborne and climbing like an elevator!What followed for the next 15 minutes was a display of what happens when you abuse or miss handle this aircraft…Nothing!! Jim demonstrated Clean stall, Dirty stall, Very steep turns Left and Right, Cruise speed, Economic cruise, Slow flying and Full Power on stall (which I can say was more like being in a helicopter lying on your back ).

Then the BEST bit……Jim says YOUR airplane!

Started with some gentle turns and cruising around to get the feel, but it became obvious immediately, THIS is where I was meant to be! Everything just falls into your hands …….the throttle is automatic, the trim is very easy to adjust both in pitch and roll, and once it is trimmed properly you just relax in your ample seat and enjoy the view and accept that Life is GOOD!

Guys, a few of my friends said I must be MAD (they are friends) to buy an aircraft without first flying it and I have to say I did have some doubts, But, I now think it was one of my more sensible decisions in life because quite simply the plane is awesome!!!!
