LANDING GEAR: The stock tricycle gear system used on the STOL CH 801-HD has outstanding shock absorbing capability for rough field operation. While tailwheel aircraft have traditionally dominated in off-airport applications, the STOL CH 801's tricycle gear offers rough field capability while providing all the advantages of a tricycle-gear aircraft, such as easy ground handling and superior visibility. The STOL CH 801's gear has been developed specifically for off-airport use. The direct linkage steerable nosewheel, plus differential braking, provide remarkably precise ground handling and steering. |

FUEL SYSTEM: The STOL CH 801-HD is equipped with dual 15 US gallon (56 liters) welded aluminum wing fuel tanks, located inside the wing behind the main wing spar. The Extended Range Option doubles the number of wing tanks to four, for a total fuel capacity of 60 gallons (224 liters). The airframe itself is designed to allow maximum customization by the actual builder. The STOL CH 801 is not designed ‘around’ a specific engine, allowing for custom powerplant installations by builders. |
