![]() Introducing the LATEST CH 801 model!
The CH 801- SD has a longer wing span, more tail surface and a greatly increased useful load! |
STOL EVOLUTION!
First came the 2-seat STOL CH 701 (1986): Absolutely awesome performances, but too small for many, with minimal useful load and limited engine choices - an excellent ultralight!
The 4-seat STOL CH 801 followed (1999): A roomy hauler with 180HP - Big enough for pilots who find the CH 701 "too tight" and for those who wish to take the family along... Then, for sport pilots, the Light Sport STOL CH 750 was introduced (2007): “Sky Jeep” performances with a roomy cabin; two-seat economy and lots of engine choices! |
BUILT TOUGH & ADAPTABLE!
Aside from their off-airport appeal and unmatched STOL performances, the STOL CH 801-HD and SD are attractive to many thanks to their compatibility with numerous different types of engines. Many brands & models of powerplants have been installed, ranging from 160-240 HP, including:

Designer Chris Heintz, a veteran aeronautical engineer, summarizes Zenair's STOL series: "The much-copied two-seat STOL CH 701 first came out in 1986 and soon set the standard for all new all-metal off-airport light aircraft. When recreational pilots asked for a larger version, the four-seat CH 801 was introduced (1999). When the Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) category was announced, Zenair developed yet a new STOL design, the CH 750, optimized for light Sport rules. After receiving numerous requests for a larger, tougher and more "industrial-grade" STOL design based on the CH 801, the heavy-duty CH 801-HD was developed; the CH 801-SD introduced in 2017. Today, this full line of STOL designs is operated around the world by recreational pilots who enjoy the short and rough field capabilities of the design; we also have specialized groups using the "HD" in agricultural (spraying) and other commercial/specialized settings..."
