Let's go flying! STOL CH 701 light sport utility kit airplane

Zenith Aircraft's Sebastien Heintz and Roger Dubbert go flying in the STOL CH 701 to discuss the CH701 design's 40th anniversary and to also discuss upcoming Zenith workshops in Yuma, Arizona (February 28 and March 1), and in Boerne, Texas (March 6 & 7): https://www.zenithair.co/zenithstore/... Roger's STOL CH 701 is powered by a 100-hp Rotax 912ULS engine with a 3-blade ground adjustable Sensenich propeller. First introduced in 1986, the STOL 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. Short-field performance is where the STOL CH 701 aircraft truly excels: It is airborne in less than 120 feet of unprepared grass, or 90 feet of hard surface, at gross weight. Rotation is possible by the time full throttle setting is applied, and lift-off can begin at 25 mph (in ground effect, with no wind) – all within less than four seconds from stand still. Of course, any headwind shortens the time and distance required for take off. The STOL CH 701 was not designed to be just another ‘pretty’ light aircraft, but was engineered to offer outstanding short take-off and landing performance, all-metal durability, and unparalleled ease of construction. With form following function, the STOL CH 701 looks like a ‘Sky Jeep’, as it is often called by its owners. Popular since 1986, there are thousands of Zenith STOL aircraft flying around the world! Not many of them can be found at airports – most are operated from short off-airport grass fields, in backyard fields and in remote areas. The aircraft’s all-metal construction makes it suitable for continuous outdoor storage – providing their owners with continuous cost savings (no hanger or tie-down fees). The STOL CH 701 offers comfortable two-place side-by-side seating in an ergonomically designed 40-inch wide cabin. The cabin interior is designed to provide comfort for two adults. Large doors on either side allow easy access to the cabin from both sides, and can be quickly removed. A new optional single-piece formed acrylic bubble door is available to maximize cabin width. The door is hinged at the top and each door is domed 3 1/4″ (82 mm.) to provide maximum additional cabin space. The full bubble door provides outstanding side and downward visibility. The door is fitted with the standard locking door latch (at bottom front of each door). The cabin is fitted with a large instrument panel and dual controls accessible from both the left and right seats. The center-mounted control column (stick) can easily be used from either side, and does not limit visibility of the instrument panel. Dual throttle controls are mounted on both sides of the panel for easy access. The panel measures about 34 inches across by 8.5 inches tall in the center to allow for custom avionics installations. Customers love building and flying their Zenith STOL CH 701 because it delivers real-world short takeoff and landing (STOL) performance in a rugged yet lightweight, easy-to-build, and fun-to-fly package. The affordable STOL CH701 is designed for adventure, able to operate from rough fields, grass strips, and backcountry locations that most aircraft can't reach. Builders appreciate the straightforward all-metal construction, the simplicity of both the assembly (featuring final hole size match-drilled technology) and the design, and the support from Zenith's active builder community. Plus, the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from flying an airplane you built yourself is unbeatable. It’s affordable, practical, and fun — a true "Sky Jeep" that offers freedom few other aircraft can match. A few Zenith owner testimonials: "When I first opened the crate, I never imagined how much this project would change my life. Building my Zenith taught me skills I never thought I had — and now, every time I lift off a short grass strip, I’m reminded that dreams really can take flight." "My Zenith isn’t just a plane; it’s a ticket to real freedom. Building it was an adventure in itself, but the real payoff is flying low and slow over backcountry fields, landing where no runway exists, and feeling truly connected to the world around me." #SkyJeep #BuildItFlyIt #ch701 #zenithaircraft #zenithair #zenair #LightSportAircraft #SportPilot
