Demo Flight in the Zenith STOL CH 750 Super Duty

2022-02-07T18:24:38.417Z

Jon Humberd (of "Super 701" fame) goes flying in the Zenith STOL CH 750 Super Duty with Roger Dubbert from the Zenith Aircraft kit factory, comparing the bigger CH750SD model to his STOL CH 701.
The STOL CH 750 Super Duty is the utility model of the very popular high wing CH 750 series by legendary designer Chris Heintz. The aircraft features a higher gross weight (for more load carrying capability), more power, and even the addition of a rear jump seat! The latest Zenith Aircraft model, the kit is the most advanced kit offered by Zenith (the number one producer of light sport aircraft in the United States), with extensive use of match-drilled final hole size technology throughout, making it easier and quicker to build.

STOL CH 801 SD - flight testing

2019-05-23T15:26:04.544Z

Stall / spin flight tests in the incredible STOL CH 801 Super Duty sport utility aircraft.

This is Gary Reeves' awesome CH801-SD, equipped with a modern Titan IO-370 engine, custom Catto prop, Garmin avionics and a long list of special features and custom options including autopilot, BRS whole aircraft rescue parachute system, and extended range fuel system.

Based on the standard STOL CH 801 (in kit production for 20 years), the four-seat CH 801 SD is developed for more demanding missions and maximum utility.
The new and larger STOL CH 801-SD offers enhanced load-carrying capabilities as well as exceptional slow-flight performances while still using simple, proven design concepts for easy assembly, operation and maintenance. The new STOL CH 801-SD design has 4 feet additional wingspan than the lighter "HD" model. That's 2 feet per side, for a total wing area of 189 square feet. This added lifting capability allows the aircraft to carry higher loads, whether passengers or cargo. At lighter loads, the larger wing allows for even more spectacular short take-offs and STOL performances.
An extended stabilizer and elevator give the larger and heavier STOL CH 801-SD all the control it needs for slow flight - and the repetitive and often very demanding (extreme) maneuvers used for effective crop spraying. The "SD" model uses the same All-Flying rudder design found on other Zenair STOL models for superior directional/yaw control and remarkable cross-wind capabilities.
The STOL CH 801-SD is designed for a wide range of aircraft engines, from 180 to 240 HP. Because it is not designed ‘around’ a specific engine, custom installations by builders are possible, easy and straight-forward.
Propellers can also be customized based on available budget and for desired performance.

Manufactured by Zenair Ltd. (in Canada) the new "Super-Duty" (SD) is available in standard kit form, as a "Quick-Build" kit, or fully assembled through a custom "Builder-Assistance" program.

Short Takeoff challenge from friend in Super Cub

Short take offs are difficult in high density altitudes. All three planes used flaps. It would be fun to see the same planes at or near see level on a cool day.
