STOL-Adventures.com has released its first full-length DVD featuring
the STOL CH 701.
Titled "Canyon Surfing," this video shows off the aircraft at its
best in off-airport, back-country environments: Landing and taking
off from rough river beds, short grass fields and curved private
roads. Flown by experienced STOL pilots Christopher Desmond and
Michael Heintz, this fast-paced adventure includes steep turns,
tight "canyon turn-arounds" and remarkably steep approaches and
climb-outs, providing an excellent demonstration of the STOL's
amazing capabilities.

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."
