Curt Richmond's beautiful
ZODIAC XL (Table Grove, IL):
I would like to thank
all of you at Zenith for a great and easy-build kit. I started
December 14, 2004 with the rudder workshop
class in Mexico, Missouri and received the airworthiness certificate
June 15, 2006. I enjoyed the project and became addicted to working
on it! We already have 30 hours on it and are planning to be at Oshkosh
with it.

Despite poor weather
that kept many builders from flying in, Zenith's 15th annual Open
Hangar Day on Saturday August 15 was a great success with record attendance.

"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."
