  • The Zenith STOL CH 701 made us all proud in 2021! Watch and listen as Zenith Aircraft's Roger Dubbert explains why the CH 701 grabbed so many headlines this year, as he takes you flying in his own personal STOL CH 701 "Sky Jeep."
    First introduced in 1986, the CH 701 aircraft was developed as an “off-airport” short take-off and landing kit aircraft to fulfill the demanding requirements of both sport pilots and first-time builders. With the STOL CH 701, designer Chris Heintz combined the features and advantages of a “real” airplane with the short-field capabilities of an “ultralight” aircraft. The aircraft features fixed leading-edge slats for high lift, full-span flaperons (both ailerons and flaps), an all-flying rudder, and durable all-metal construction.
    While the basic design has remained the same, many significant improvements have been introduced over the years, including a higher useful load, easier and quicker build kits, and more detailed drawings and step-by-step assembly instructions.
    The popular Chris Heintz STOL designs include the CH 750 series, made up of the STOL CH 750, the CH 750 Cruzer and the newer STOL CH 750 Super Duty model. The CH 750 series are larger than the original CH 701 to offer more comfort (in a larger cabin), more engine choices and additional capabilities.

    As far as I can see, Zenith is earning its way into the Hall of Respect.

    I am so glad that you guys are redeveloping the 701 kit. I think it's well deserved considering that it was your original STOL aircraft. I completed mine from Scatch 9 years ago and just installed floats this past year and it's been well above my expectations. Great design!

    We hope that the new year 2022 got off to a good start!
    A few hours in advance, my wife Catrin and I received confirmation of our order for the ZENITH STOL CH 701 by email.
    We are very happy and hope that 2022 will be the year of our CH 701!

    Great video! Brings back memories from years ago of my first flight with you in the 701! I've never failed to learn something every time I watch you fly. Now I've got nearly 10 years and 725+ hrs in my STOL 750 and still grinning!

    Sorry to hear Christopher Desmond sold his 701. I bought one of his back country flying videos a while ago and it was fantastic. I was always hoping that he would come out with another video at some point.
