STOL vs. CRUZER

Zenith Aircraft's Sebastien Heintz and Roger Dubbert went flying on Monday in the new Zenith CH 750 Super Cruzer, testing a new Sensenich prop. During their flight they discuss the fantastic performance and capability of the Lycoming-powered CH 750 Super Cruzer, asking viewers to weigh in on whether the Super Cruzer should be optimized for speed or, instead, for back-country utility. Watch the video and let them know (in the comments): Max speed or "Big Tire" Cruzer?

There's still time to win this iconic STOL CH 701 (above) from Carson Stilson (aka Wairworthy) who started to build this aircraft earlier this year "on a budget," then flew it to AirVenture Oshkosh, and now plans to give it away to a lucky winner!

The stars-and-stripes theme of the airplane marks America’s 250th and the STOL CH 701’s 40th anniversary.

"This airplane is a celebration of affordable kitplanes, America’s 250th birthday, and the 40th anniversary of the Zenith CH 701," said Carson. "It has been incredible to see how far these kits have come, and I genuinely believe that if I can build one, just about anyone can." Carson is a private pilot from St. George, Utah, who documented his homebuilding projects for a large online audience (counted in the millions!). He has now completed two Zenith aircraft, a STOL CH 750 Super Duty and a STOL CH 701, and runs the aviation apparel company Wairworthy.

Get a head start in building your own airplane by participating at an upcoming hands-on workshop class at the kit aircraft factory in Mexico, Missouri, and learn all about the skills and tools needed to build your own.

Zenith Aircraft invites you to experience the excitement of building your own airplane at one of our monthly hands-on workshops, held at our kit aircraft factory in central Missouri. These workshops give you the chance to learn the skills and tools needed to build your own aircraft while constructing your very own rudder tail section for one of Zenith’s popular designs, such as the high-wing Zenith CH 750 series or the sleek low-wing Zenith CH 650 cruiser.

The workshop experience at the Zenith factory also includes a guided factory tour and demo flight, with participants "graduating" from the workshop upon completing construction of their own aircraft rudder tail section for one of Zenith Aircraft Company's popular kit aircraft designs. Plan now to join us at an upcoming factory workshop class:

• December 10 & 11, 2026 | January 21 & 22, 2027

The Zenith hands-on workshop is an excellent way to learn about building your own kit aircraft and about the many advantages of owning and flying an airplane that you’ve built yourself. For many, building an aircraft (from a kit) is a very rewarding experience, and today’s modern kits make it easier and quicker to build than ever before.

Standard workshop fees are just $375.00 (or $425 for the CH 750 Super Duty or Super Cruzer models) and include the complete rudder kit for a Zenith aircraft. Additional helpers (spouse or other family members) are encouraged to attend and can participate for free. Prior registration is required for the rudder workshop class and class size is limited.
