Attend Zenith Rudder Build Workshop
Attended a workshop to see the Zenith Factory and build a CH-701 Rudder kit in 1-2 days. Drove 550 miles to the factory in Mexico, MO. Found the kit to be quite complete and the plans/instructions easy to follow. Completed the entire all aluminum riveted rudder in less than 8 hours.
Test flew the factory demonstrator 701 and found it to be quite responsive and easy to fly. The STOL characteristics were excellent on the 80 HP Rotax engine.
