CH701 Facts
Zenith CH701
Absolutely THE most STOL performance in the LSA category.
What it may lack in looks is overwhelmingly made up in Performance.
Practical load capability and baggage room.
Rugged Off-Field landing gear.
What a joy to fly!
Push the throttle forward. Jumps off the ground in 3 seconds.
Climb out @ 1000'/min. Cuise fast enough for moderate trips.
Slow to 60, deploy flaps, and hang that @ 40mpg.
