"The building process was thoroughly enjoyable and an exceptional learning experience. Zenith was helpful with the coordination of the new CH650 kit parts and their new CH650 drawings. Without a doubt, William Wynne is the Corvair engine conversion expert."

"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."
