STOL CH 701 Drawings &
Manuals
Supplied with the complete
STOL CH 701 kit, the drawings are not just assembly instructions
(as with most kits), but are detailed 11" x 17" CAD blueprints of the entire airframe
assembly and individual parts, and
come with an assembly manual.
 |
The STOL CH 701
Drawings & Manuals package includes a CD-ROM with
high-resolution
Photo Assembly Guides for the
step-by-step assembly of the STOL CH 701 kit. |
Supplied with a serial number, you can
actually build your own aircraft from "scratch" following
the Drawings and Manuals. Scratch-builders can purchase any individual
parts or components directly from Zenith Aircraft Company.
If purchased separately, the cost of
the drawings and manuals is deductible off the cost of the full kit.
"Zenith is one of the few kit makers that still
offers a plans-only option; the company supplies
complete kits...
but it will also sell sub-kits,
individual parts, or just the plans and builder's
manual." |

Alternative" July 2008 |
