Demo flight in the Zenith CH 650

Demo flight in the Zenith CH 650 at the June Zenith Aircraft hands-on workshop.

The Zenith CH 650: The affordable recreational kit airplane for the sport pilot: Enjoy leisure flights, with exceptional unrestricted visibility, operate from grass strips, make round trips of several hundred miles in a single day, or take your partner for a local pleasure flight, or to a far-off destination!

“...a playful, delightful airplane with side-by-side seating and a gorgeous bubble canopy. Handling is great, stability is pleasant, and the kit is very straight forward. Highly recommended.”

The handling characteristics of the Zenith CH650 are very good and quite similar to the previous ZODIAC models, with just slightly higher roll control forces (this was predictably the result of a larger chord aileron). The new airfoil section is thinner than previous ZODIAC models, and was chosen for reduced drag (higher top end speed). Wing flaps were added to minimize stall speed with the new lower-drag airfoil.

The Zenith CH 650 is a second generation light sport aircraft, developed specifically for Sport Pilots. It is the latest low-wing model from aeronautical engineer Chris Heintz, based on the original CH 600 first introduced in 1984. This newest model offers new and updated features including modern new styling with a larger cabin area.

The new Zenith CH 650 design offers superior performance and capabilities, comfortable side-by-side seating, affordable costs, and best of all, the Zenith is available as a durable all-metal kit that you can quickly build yourself - with just basic skills and tools.

New Kit Features... Easier and Quicker to Build!
The standard kit for the Zenith CH 650 includes many precision CNC pre-cut and pre-drilled skins and components, and also includes CAD Drawings and Photo Assembly Manuals.

Build It. FLY IT!
