After pulling out the last of the instrument panel sections to flip the trim switch upside down and finish giving all the aircraft’s electrical terminals a safety assessment the plane and I went for a lazy local flight trying to keep it under 80kt so the 100hp Savannah could keep up; 75kt and feeling a little bit mushy, still no chance for the Savannah... first approach floated a bit too deep for comfort so went around... second approach brought it down at a steady 60kt and 500fpm; rounded out, kept the height steady as the stick came back, attitude felt right, heard the rumble of the main and tail wheels spooling up; greased it on, back tracked, packed up, went home happy.

Sounds great. But.... what’s a Savannah?
I did a google search and, assuming it’s an airplane, found something that looks like a Zenith 750 made by a company in Italy. Is that it?

Correct Chris; that’s the one... very rugged and capable STOL performer.. its a challenge to fly together as both aircraft are operating close to opposite ends of the envelope. The europa really needs flaps deployed to allow the savannah to keep up.
