April 18, 2008: A group of Ohio STOL CH 701 owners met for
lunch at an airport restaurant:
"We got together to
have a good lunch, and to swap stories and to look at each
other's airplanes. Meeting were Jeff Beachy, Bob Kissell, Larry
Zetterlind and Jack Steinberger. It was quite a sight to see four
CH701's together!"

Note: Many of these images show customer-built aircraft,
some of which have been modified without the designer's specific approval. Modifications
will affect the specifications and performance of the aircraft.
The
Zenith literature package is easily the most complete package I
have received from any light aviation company, and I’ve seen
many other good ones among the hundreds I have studied. Lots and
lots of information is presented with some lovely graphics. The
literature alone is impressive, but the volume of information will
keep you reading for hours. You can get a good idea of what you're
buying without ever leaving your chair."
