NEW Four-Position Flaperon Control Lever for the STOL CH 701
Video: Zenith Aircraft's Roger Dubbert takes his Zenith STOL CH 701 flying with the new flaperon lever:
The new flaperon four-position control lever/handle with the adjustable positions is now available directly from Zenith Aircraft as a kit and is easy to install in both completed STOL CH 701 airplanes as well as those kits still under construction. The optional four-position control lever replaces the standard two-position flaperon handle, adding two new flap positions and making the handle much easier to operate thanks to the lever.

I installed the new Zenith manufactured Flap Position Lever this weekend, only took a couple hours to retrofit the old mount, install and adjust the new lever. It is great!! Added a speed warning limit on the dash because you can put in flaps at pretty much any speed with the new unit. The ability to select the amount of flaps is very nice.

Looks great, I designed and installed pretty much similar flap handle years ago and there is no going back to the original.
I can highly recommend the new flap handle - it makes operating the flaperons much easier and also much safer.

Looks really good! Well done guys. Just one question : Does it get in the way of your left leg? Either in flight, or when getting on or out? Thanks so much, Andrew. (19-7701, based in Perth, Western Australia).
