Zenair CH-750 Stol
The Zenith CH 750 STOL is the short-field specialist of Zenith's two-model light-sport line, using a high wing, fixed leading-edge slats, and full-span flaperons that combine flap and aileron function to generate lift at very low speeds. Where its low-wing CH 650 Zodiac sibling is built for cruising efficiency, the CH 750 trades cruise speed for the ability to take off and land in only a few hundred feet, making it a favourite among backcountry and bush pilots. An all-flying rudder and all-metal riveted construction keep it light and simple to build from a kit, and it is now a common sight at short-field STOL competition events.
