About My Project

I'm building a Zenith CH701 in Seattle. The CH701 is a homebuilt experimental aircraft made from a kit produced by Zenith Aircraft and designed by Chris Heintz. This blog exists as an engineering journal for the purposes of both FAA documentation AND for those who are also building CH701s.

About my plane:
Rotax 912ULS ( 100HP )
Dynon D180
Garmin 496
Icom A210
Garmin 327 Transponder
Odyssey 680 Battery
FlightGrip sticks
IPF fog lamps as landing lights
