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 CH 701 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."

"There’s something incredibly special about flying an airplane that you built with your own two hands. Every rivet and every flight is a reminder of what’s possible when you put passion and determination into a project. My Zenith STOL is more than a plane — it’s a symbol of adventure and accomplishment."

"I never thought building an airplane would be within reach, but Zenith made it possible. The STOL performance of my Zenith CH 701 blows people away — short fields, rough strips, no problem. It’s not just about flying; it’s about visiting places others can’t get to."
