Professional Builder Assistance / Fast Build Kits

Zenith Aircraft Company only manufactures and sells kits for its aircraft designs - the aircraft are not available factory-assembled from Zenith Aircraft Co.  If you do not have the time to build your own airplane, we suggest you purchase a new LSA (sport pilot) or used (assembled) aircraft, or use professional builder assistance to speed up your kit project.

The STOL CH 701 "Fast Build Kit," as offered offered by FlightCrafters / Zenith Distributing.  The Zephyrhills, Florida company provides onsite professional builder assistance.  STOL CH 701 "Fast Build Kit" and builder assistance is also offered by Quality Sport Planes in California.

Flight Crafters' climate controlled facilities in Tampa and Zephyrhills, Florida, have over 6,000 square feet of working and storage space.  The Flight Crafters' Builder Assistance Center can help the kit owner to work efficiently and effectively.  The kit owner will work in a climate controlled workshop, fully equipped with all the necessary tools and jigs on hand.  In addition, you will have access to professional builder assistance when needed.

Flight Crafters has developed a "Quick Build Workshop" to allow the builder to complete his tail surfaces and wings in 7 days. This will include the rudder "starter kit" construction. Upon completion of the Quick Build Workshop the kit owner will have approximately 90% of the airplane completed. They can elect to finish the airplane at the Flight Crafters facilities or to take it home.
