"It has been a lot of fun to
build. It was made more interesting because the building period also included getting my private pilot license...

Builder Benjamin Masengil,
of Sweet Home, Oregon:
"I took delivery of a Zenith CH 701 STOL kit on January 28, 2003. Inspected on August 6,2003. And flying on August
9, 2003. Quite a contrast from a Lancair 320 that took me three years to build
(1992-1995). Now I have two airplanes at the opposite end of the proverbial envelope."
