There's Something Affordable in the Air

We invite you to explore the freedom, innovation, and adventure that building and flying your own Zenith Aircraft can bring. Start by exploring how Zenith Aircraft kits stand out from the competition in value and quality. Our kits offer unmatched completeness, pre-manufactured parts, components, standard equipment, low build time, simplicity of construction and required skills and tools, as well as price (cost of the kit, plus the cost to finish your aircraft with your choice of engine and avionics). Whether you build a high wing or a low wing Zenith, or want STOL or cruise performance, Zenith Aircraft has an airplane for you. Want to get started as soon as possible? Give us a call to learn how soon we can get you started with a quick-build kit, standard kit or component "buy-as-you-build" kits. Building (and flying!) your own Zenith may be the "adventure of a lifetime" you've been waiting for.

 

Next month, on Saturday, June 20th, Zenith will host an annual "Fly-In to Summer" Open House at its factory in Mexico, Missouri. The Zenith Aircraft factory will be open from 8:00 am - 1:00 pm for self-guided factory tours, demonstrations, and more. Check out the Facebook event page for the latest updates.
Note that in contrast to the annual ZENITH HOMECOMING event (held over two days, September 18 & 19, with scheduled workshops and forums), this June event is a very informal morning fly-in gathering, with no scheduled activities.

Zenith will be hosting its next monthly workshop class immediately before the annual "Fly-In to Summer" Open House (see above), allowing visitors to participate at both events in one trip.

Zenith invites you to experience the excitement and satisfaction of building your own airplane at one of our monthly hands-on workshops. These workshop classes 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.

Zenith Aircraft's hands-on workshop classes give you the chance to learn the skills and tools needed to build your own airplane 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. Participating at a workshop is an excellent way to learn about building your own kit aircraft, and to learn of 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.

The workshop includes a guided factory tour of the production facilities, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how our kits are made, and also a demo flight to experience flying a Zenith firsthand. By the end of the workshop, you’ll graduate with a completed rudder tail section and the confidence to start your building journey. Don’t miss this opportunity: make plans to join us at an upcoming factory workshop!

The demo flight with Roger is a highlight of the workshop experience!

Standard workshop fees are just $375.00 (or $425 for the CH 750 Super Duty model) 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 classes as class size is limited.

FREE LUNCH FRIDAY: June 5th

Free Lunch Friday is returning this year at Zenith Aircraft! Join us for a BBQ lunch at the Zenith kit aircraft factory, located at Mexico Memorial Airport (KMYJ). Fly in or drive in—everyone’s welcome!

Enjoy lunch on the ramp surrounded by Zenith aircraft, meet fellow builders and flyers, and take a tour of the factory while you’re here.

Free Lunch Friday: June 5 @ noon


The Zenith Aircraft factory will be CLOSED this coming Monday, May 25th, to observe the Memorial Day holiday. We will re-open on Tuesday, May 26th.

In the News: Airborne Unlimited reported on the 40th anniversary of the Zenith STOL CH 701 light sport utility kit airplane.

Parting Quote: "I've always had fun flying but I didn't know you could have this much fun with your clothes on."

From Zenith STOL pilot Steve S. on the Facebook Zenith Aircraft Flyers page: "Hey there folks I'm new to the group and to zenith flying. I live in New Mexico at 6200' msl and that engine doesn't have any issues climbing."
