What's So Great About a CH 701 / 750 !! 

The CH 701/750 is the king of STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft.  It's an all metal great off field bush plane that is perfectly suited for the type of terrain we have here in the Atlantic Canada.  With a stall speed of 28 MPH there is no requirement for a long prepared surface to land into.  The rugged airframe and landing gear design of the CH 701 / 750 can get you into very small strips.  The only limitations of where you can land stands mostly with the experience of the pilot.  So if you're looking to one day get into an outstanding aircraft,  the CH701/750 is a great choice.  Here's a link explaining the characteristics of the aircraft   -   CH 701

Here's a very impressive CH 701 STOL video from the back of this guy's apartment building - Video

Do you live near or on the water?

Well, another great option from Zenair is their float kits. These floats can be used on several types of aircraft. Here's the links for more videos:

• Float kit Information - Zenair Floats;

• Float Kit - Float Kit Video; and

• CH701 with zenair floats  - Amazing STOL take off and landing ability - Video

If you're interested in the Float Kit for your aircraft  you can now order the Float kits directly from PPGNB.

Personally, I've been dreaming about owning a CH 701 for many years.  I've  watched many STOL videos of this amazing aircraft.  Just recently I purchased a used Zenith CH 701 aircraft.  The aircraft is not yet ready to fly but I'm hoping to get it into the air this flying season.
