Zodiac CH 701
First introduced in 1986, the STOL CH 701 aircraft
was developed as an "off-airport" short take-off and landing kit
aircraft to fulfil the demanding requirements of both sport pilots
and first-time builders.
With the STOL CH 701, designer Chris Heintz combined the features
and advantages of a "real" airplane with the short-field
capabilities of an "ultralight" aircraft. The aircraft features
fixed leading-edge slats for high lift, full-span flaperons (both
ailerons and flaps), an all-flying rudder, and durable all-metal
construction.
