Having joined the Zenith family with my 750 STOL build over 12 years ago, this video certainly confirms I made the right choice! Your support has always been there for me and with Zenith being tops in kit sales and your recent expansion, I'm certain you''ll be there for new builders for years to come! Congrats on all the recent awards, Sebastien and Roger!
Love your planes. I miss soo much talking with your father ( Cris Hinze ) He could always give so much information in an entertaining way. When he told his story about getting different parts of his aircraft approval for different categories I believe it was for the FAA I think it took all of his patience plus some to deal with the bureaucracies ahead of him. Keep up the good work AND maybe you could consider designing a tractor gyro plane on floats for us older want to be pilot in the W.I G. category . It is wide open for you to do in Kit form.....
I too vote for an 801 or “850” if you will back in America with the improvements you’ve made to the 600/700 line. I have a growing family of 4 already and could easily see us getting an 801 in the future
Great video guys! Love those planes! Question; With the shortage of hangers at epic proportions across the country, and real estate prices through the roof, are you considering a folding wing option? Kitfox is 18 months out on deliveries of their kits. I wonder if it has anything to do with the folding wings?
So the CH801 is really just a Canadian division product now or is it fully discontinued? There's definitely room for an affordable, easy to build, 4 place airplane, especially in the STOL category.
@3:45, in the picture of all the FWF options, is that a VW engine I see on the end, under "New Engine Designs"? Is someone making a new VW based aircraft engine? I haven't seen the green valve covers before, curious if there's a new company in the mix...
Do you offer a factory builder's assist from start to finish? Where you could charge extra for program, but the builder would have the peace of mind and gain the confidence for that first build. Workshops are nice but only offer a slice of the pie with respect to the total build committment.
Most of our effort is put toward making Zenith kits quicker and easier to build so that the individual amateur builder does not require factory or professional builder assistance. That said, we are available for custom build projects as time permits.
Is there any way I could get some sound files of this aircraft? I am trying to update the X-Plane version of this airplane. Also if someone could tell me if the sounds I´ve managed to get sound anything like the real airplane it would be great. Just trying to get it right.

Awesome to hear about the final matched hole update for the 650! I’m a 601xlb owner.
Looks great. I’m super happy with my 601xlb. And patiently waiting for the updated ch640 kits.
You guys are both icons in the industry, congratulations!
Awesome work boys! I need to get back out there for a visit soon.
New pilot from Springfield MO here. Ive been eyeing your planes for a while. Need to come and check them out.
Plan to join us at an upcoming monthly workshop class to learn about building the kit (and go up for a demo flight and tour the factory)
@@zenithairco Sounds fun!
@@zenithairco Do you do the rudder workshops on a monthly basis?
What a great way to get people involved.
Awesome update congratulations
Congrats. Great looking shop.

Need a spot for Roger’s 701 in the showroom.
We do have space for it :)

Ch 801?
140 MPH in a 118HP UL Power Cruzer??? Would LOVE to see a video of the Dynon showing that!
Probably not quite that fast with the high wing CH 750 Cruzer model...
You seem to be implying that the match hole CNC parts make deburring a thing of the past?
Burrs still need to be removed, if they exist. The high speed CNC routers really minimize burrs
