Zenith CH801
The Zenith CH801 is a kit aircraft made by Zenith Aircraft. It features maximum short-field performance and utility and easy assembly and at an affordable price.
Its predecessor, the CH701 was a two seat, short take-off and landing aircraft. Designed to appeal to sport pilots and first-time builders, later updates provided for dual wing tanks, stonger landing gear , improved windshield and larger capacity.
The CH801 has four seats and a much higher payload than the CH701 but does so with almost the same short field takeoff and landing preformance.
It's huge wing area and powerplant allows it to be airborne in under 300 feet. With the flaps down, it has a stall speed of only 35 mph.
This CH801 with tundra tires was designed with FS Design Studio by Brian Gladden.

Like all of the other planes in our Premier Collection you can take the CH801 up for a test spin. Download and install it and you'll have 7 Days to "fly before you buy".
We're confident that after you fly it, you'll be soon rerturn here to order a Registration Key to unlock the trial expiration.
NOTE: During installation of any of our "Try Before You Buy" aircraft, we add a small program to your FSX, FS2004 or FS2002 \modules folder to enable you to use these and future Premier Collection aircraft. If you do not want to add this program to your system, please do not install any of these aircraft.
