Recreational Flyer magazine 2010 Recreational Flyer magazine, the official publication of the Recreational Aircraft Association of Canada (RAAC), January - February 2010 issue: "Elevated" (cover story, pages 22 - 29): "Chris Heintz saw the need for an updated version [of the STOL CH 701], something with a larger cabin, greater payload, and the ability to us an array of four stroke engines. The CH 750 is the perfect plane for exploring and camping off the beaten path..."

Five years ago I retired and had always wanted to build my own airplane. August of this year I finally completed my project and have started flying off my test time. Although I have only put 3 hours on it (I got called out of retirement for a brief time) I am having the most fun I have ever had in a long long time. Thank you and everyone at Zenith for me for the outstand support you have provided to me. The 701 is a great airplane and easy to build.
PS. I guess I’ll have to start thinking about a 750 next.

"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."
