 The ZODIAC is
the answer to your dreams, offering you superior performance and capabilities, comfortable
side - by - side seating, surprisingly affordable costs, and best of all, the ZODIAC is
available as a durable all metal kit that you can quickly build yourself - with
just basic skills and tools.
The ZODIAC is easy and affordable to build
and fly, yet it's an airplane you won't easily outgrow. The ZODIAC is the perfect project
for the first-time builder and the demanding sport pilot, bridging the gap between
performance flying and affordable costs: Simple and quick to build; easy and fun to
fly. Well suited for low-time pilots, the ZODIAC offers exciting performance and good
cross-country flying capabilities. Loaded with standard features, the new ZODIAC models
provide all-metal durability, first-class comfort for two large persons in a wide cabin,
large baggage compartments, and much more. New complete kits reduce building time,
requiring no special skills or tools to put together. Originally introduced in 1984, the
ZODIAC design has a proven track record. It's fun and easy to fly even for the novice
pilot, yet has capabilities and performance that will thrill the most experienced pilot.
