On the cover of Light
Sport and Ultralight Flying
magazine, February 2007 issue. "Off-Runway Air
Recreational Vehicle: Zenith's CH 701 Kit is Sport-Pilot
Ready." Cover story by Dan Johnson, pages 26 - 35:
"While no
CH 701 will be envied for its striking good looks, the STOL design more
than makes up for its workhorse appearance with toughness and
outstanding short-field performance. And a 20-year-plus history in
the field speaks volumes to the model's market and aerodynamic
success."

Ken Szewc's STOL CH
701 of Oregon:
"My airplane now
has 200 hours, and has been to back country strips in the Idaho Selway
bitterroot wilderness, Oregon Eagle caps, Hells Canyon, etc. With the
bubble doors, I don't think you can get an airplane with better
visibility."

Walt Cannon's STOL CH 701
(Seattle, Washington):
"I am overseas in
Australia on a job for my employer Boeing. I will be putting the CH701
on amphibious floats upon my return. The CH701 is a popular airplane
over here too!! I am fascinated by the STOL capabilities of the
CH701."

"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."
