Zenith CH 701 ZK-JRM Resurfaces

 I have only seen the Zenith CH 701 ZK-JRM once, at Kerikeri back on 22 December 2009:

ZK-JRM was built by Rae McNally of Kerikeri and it was powered by a Great Plains VW engine conversion.  After stints at Pokeno and Hastings, ownership changed to Brian Taylor of Otaika, near Whangarei on 5/5/21.

Brian has re-engined the 701 with a 100 HP Rotax 912 and has re-worked the engine cowling to a much smoother shape.  It was photo'd at Whangarei on 28/9/21during its flight testing programme.
