It's one of the unfortunate facts of life that nothing is free, and nowhere is this truer than in airplane performance. However, Zenith's new CruZer looks as if it'll scratch a couple of itches at the same time: It has a reasonable cruise speed with a low fuel burn yet it still has very respectable short-field performance. All of this is from easy-to-build straight lines and square corners. For more information, visit www.Zenithair.com. Budd Davisson is an aeronautical engineer, has flown more than 300 different aircraft types, and published four books and more than 4,000 articles. He is editor-in-chief of Flight Journal magazine and a flight instructor primarily in Pitts/tailwheel aircraft. Visit him at www.Airbum.com. Te much wider-than-normal cockpit has a "Y" control stick so both seats have control with minimal obstruction.  Te ailerons droop with the faps for more lif with less drag.  Photography by Budd Davisson EAA Experimenter 19
