The four-seat Zenith STOL CH 801 sport utility kit airplane

Our friend Randy recently flew over to the Zenith kit aircraft factory to show us his four-seat STOL CH 801 (before flying to Oshkosh 2025 with us). After Oshkosh, Randy flew to Colorado and then back home to the Kansas City area in his STOL CH 801, proving the cross-country capability of the versatile STOL CH 801 design. Randy also built a matching STOL CH 750 Super Duty:    • Zenith STOL CH 750 Super Duty sport utilit...   Zenith Aircraft's STOL CH 801 from designer Chris Heintz is a true four-seat utility kit airplane, featuring true STOL (short takeoff and landing) and load hauling capability. Proven design, all-metal construction, rugged tricycle gear configuration, choice of engines: 160 - 240 hp. FAA MOSAIC-ready. The Zenith STOL CH 801 is a rugged, four-seat sport utility aircraft designed for serious short take-off and landing (STOL) performance. Developed by aeronautical engineer Chris Heintz in the 1990s, it builds on the legacy of the two-seat CH 701, offering double the payload and space—without sacrificing the off-airport capabilities that made the original CH 701 "Sky Jeep" legendary. Key Features of the STOL CH 801 (that it share with the STOL CH 701 and CH 750 models): STOL Performance: With fixed leading-edge slats, full-length flaperons, and a short wingspan, the CH 801 is optimized for slow flight and short field operations. All-Metal Construction: Durable and easy to maintain, perfect for bush flying, utility missions, or recreational adventures. Payload: Carries up to four adults, or gear and cargo. Payload depends on installed engine and fuel on board. Engine Flexibility: Compatible with a range of powerplants from 160 to 240 HP, including Lycoming, Titan, and AeroSport Power, not to mention automotive conversions, such as the Honda-based Viking engines. Why Pilots Love The STOL CH 801: Operates from grass, gravel, or remote strips with ease. Proven design and capability, in a spacious 4-seat cabin. Simple systems make it reliable and easy to fly—even for newer pilots. It’s not just a plane—it’s a workhorse, a weekend explorer, and a builder’s pride. If you’re dreaming of flying into the backcountry or building your own capable aircraft, the STOL CH 801 might just be your perfect match. #BuildItFlyIt #CH801 #ch750 #skyjeep #zenair #zenithair #zenithaircraft
